Lupe Espalian   Second Baseman | Retired or Inactive Players Hitting Espalian never has been a patient hitter. He has a natural lift to his swing, which produces few groundballs. Even though you might not start him, he's not a bad guy to have on your bench for the tough left-handed reliever. Baserunning & Defense His defense is solid but unspectacular. His biggest problem in the field simply has to be his throwing arm... it's well below par. Espalian isn't fast, but he's a heady baserunner who rarely gets thrown out. 2025 Outlook Espalian has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season.           -- Ska Nyman, A-Ball Scout
