Ian Kinsler Still Starting Despite Horrible Numbers
6 years agoSan Diego Padres second baseman Ian Kinsler is batting seventh on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners. Despite a horrific start to 2019, Padres manager Andy Green continues penciling the 36-year-old veteran into the lineup card. While sporting the major's seventh-worst WAR, Kinsler is fifth on the team with 73 plate appearances. With the recent demotion of rookie infielder Luis Urias, Green appears to be sticking with Kinsler. With just one homer, six runs-plus-RBI and a .493 OPS on the season, the once-tantalizing power-speed threat has seen his productivity and fantasy relevance vanish.
