Hey, an upgrade is an upgrade, and Baez would be a huge upgrade. Is he the perfect player, no, but he's probably in the second tier of available ss this year with Story and after Correa, Semien and Seager.
Yes, but you have to allow for his rapid ascension in what was basically his first full season of pro ball. You have to expect some struggle and adjustments from a player whose previous experience was short season ball, and give him credit for holding his own after being so aggressively challenged.
