Andrés Giménez News
Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez went 2-for-5 with two RBI during Thursday's 5-4 win over the Boston Red Sox. The 25-year-old has not cleared the fences yet this season, but he is enjoying a strong start nonetheless. Gimenez is slashing .293/.360/.387 with 11 RBI, 13 runs scored and two stolen bases through 19 games. He should continue to add in all those categories for the remainder of 2024 while reaching double-digits in home runs for the third straight year. Gimenez is comfortably a top-10 second base option for the rest of the season.
Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez picked up his first hit of the spring on Wednesday in an 8-6 Cactus League loss to the Diamondbacks. The hit was a single in the bottom of the sixth inning and he later came around to score. The 2022 All-Star is now 1-for-8 in the spring with one strikeout. The left-handed hitter had a bit of a disappointing season in 2023 after a sixth-place MVP finish in 2022 had raised expectations, but he was top-12 or better in runs scored, RBI, and stolen bases among second basemen last season. He'll contribute in all these categories again in 2024, and look for him to hit better than last season's .251 average and .309 WOBA. Right now RotoBaller has him ranked at 109 overall, slightly ahead of his NFBC ADP of 113.
Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez will return to the starting lineup Wednesday afternoon versus the San Francisco Giants and left-hander Kyle Harrison. Gimenez didn't start Cleveland's 3-1 win on Tuesday night but he did strike out in a pinch-hitting appearance in the ninth inning. The 25-year-old has taken a step back at the plate this season, hitting .242 with 12 home runs, 27 stolen base, and a .691 OPS across 139 games after hitting a hefty .297 with 17 HR, 20 SB, and an .837 OPS across 146 contests a season ago. He continues to get nearly everyday reps at the keystone given his highly-regarded glove work while his power/speed combination is respectable at the second-base position.

After wRC+ seasons of 105 and 76, few saw a 142 wRC+ season coming in 2022 for Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez. Unfortunately, Gimenez came back to Earth in 2023, disappointing managers who invested hoping for a repeat campaign. Looking back, 2022's stats were likely bolstered by a .353 BABIP. His actual BA of .297 with an xBA of .257 corroborates this. His final 2023 line was .251-15-62-76-30 with a .309 WOBA and 97 wRC+. Expect Gimenez to bounce back in 2024, but other than his 93rd-percentile sprint speed, his offensive metrics don't indicate a return to his 2022 breakout. The former All-Star's Contact% has increased in consecutive years, but it was still just 77.1% in 2023, barely above league average. His SwStr% has dropped in consecutive years also, but still worse than league average at 12.4%, while his O-Swing% was one of the worst in the entire league at 42.7%. ATC projections have WOBA and wRC+ increasing to .327 and 110 respectively in 2024, but the counting stats don't promise much of a change from last season, with a .264-17-66-74-26 line. He's fairly priced as far as second basemen go, and his 117 NFBC ADP is nearly identical to his 116 rank at RotoBaller.
