Luis Guillorme Stats

New York Mets second baseman Luis Guillorme went 2-for-4 with one RBI in the Mets' 5-3 win over the Marlins on Wednesday. Guillorme, starting at second base with Robinson Cano serving as the designated hitter, is now hitting a blistering .464 with a .515 on-base percentage over 33 plate appearances. He now has an eight game hitting streak and is batting .545 (12-for-22) over that period. Given his hot hitting, conventional wisdom would suggest the Mets play Guillorme at second base on a regular basis, with Cano inserted at DH. Guillorme is far superior to Cano on defense and, together with Andres Gimenez, could fortify the Mets' suspect infield defense up-the-middle. That said, the Mets have far too many mouths to feed on the infield to guarantee Guillorme regular at-bats, despite his hot streak. Notwithstanding, owners in deep leagues may want to take a flier on Guillorme in the event he somehow lands a regular role with the Mets, or as insurance in the likely event Cano goes down with another injury.

New York Mets second baseman Luis Guillorme went 3-for-3 with a walk and one RBI in the Mets' 6-5 loss to the Phillies on Friday. Guillorme, starting at second base with Robinson Cano serving as the designated hitter, now boasts a .474 batting average in 19 at-bats in 2020. Prior to 2020, Guillorme was a career .222 major league hitter with just one home run and nine RBI over three part-time seasons in 151 plate appearances. Despite his poor historic production in the majors, he put up a .289/.368/.350 line in 2,249 at-bats over six minor league levels. Additionally, in 2019, Guillorme broke out in Triple-A with a .307 average and .412 OBP with seven HR and 32 RBI in 228 at-bats. Given his hot hitting and 2019 breakout, conventional wisdom would suggest the Mets play both Guillorme and Andres Gimenez at second base and shortstop, respectively, on a regular basis. Guillorme is far superior to Cano on defense and, together with Gimenez, would fortify the Mets' suspect infield defense. That said, the Mets are unlikely to sit the struggling Amed Rosario or the veteran Cano. Guillorme is worth picking up in NL-Only leagues for his potential in the batting average and runs categories. Just note that there is no real road to consistent playing time for Guillorme while Cano and Rosario remain healthy and on the roster.

The New York Mets made a few transactions on Tuesday, sending down infielder Luis Guillorme to Triple-A Las Vegas and calling up reliever Gerson Bautista in a corresponding transaction. Guillorme heads back down after being a particularly large reason for the Mets latest loss, committing two errors that led to runs against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday in the 6-4 loss. Bautista, meanwhile, will begin his second stint in Queens this season after allowing six earned runs across 4 1/3 innings pitched the first time around. He is a hard thrower, so there could be some fantasy appeal down the line, but we are very far from approaching that just yet.
