2023 Fantasy Outlook
After Gimenez's showing in 2022, it seems safe to say the Guardians indeed found their long-term shortstop in the Francisco Lindor trade. Gimenez was 40% better than league average by wRC+ in 2022, racking up 17 homers and 20 steals on 23 attempts. Factoring in his exceptional defense, Gimenez ranked as a top-15 position player in all of baseball by fWAR. There are reasons to think he was playing over his head offensively last season, including a .353 BABIP, .257 xBA and 14.0% HR/FB. Expect some regression with the rate stats, but Gimenez should still be highly sought after in drafts thanks to his well-rounded skill set and everyday role. With his steals in particular, someone may jump the 24-year-old above ADP on draft day. Read Past Outlooks

Solid work at WBC
Gimenez has gone 4-for-14 (.286) across four games for Venezuela at the World Baseball Classic.
ANALYSIS
Gimenez also went 3-for-11 over five Cactus League games before leaving for the WBC. The 24-year-old infielder is once again projected to be the Guardians' top second baseman heading into 2023 after slashing .297/.371/.466 with 17 home runs, 20 stolen bases, 69 RBI and 66 runs scored in 146 games during his 2022 breakout season.

In leagues where speed is a premium commodity on draft day, Gimenez was rocketing up boards last March after a decent spring training that led to many expecting regular at-bats. He played pretty regularly in April, but after logging a .636 OPS in the first month, his playing time became more sporadic. By mid-May, he was demoted to Triple-A, where he stayed until early-August. He logged a .702 OPS over those final 39 games. Gimenez is a good defensive infielder and went 11-for-11 on stolen-base attempts while riding a .282 OBP across 68 games, so his speed ceiling is still very high if he were to get steady playing time while getting on base at the .320 clip he posted after rejoining the big club. Cleveland has several prized middle-infield prospects who should debut in 2023 and beyond, so this will likely be Gimenez's last chance to show he is more than a utility infielder. He makes for an affordable speed flier if you missed out on an earlier target.
