## Resource

J.P. Crawford’s power is back—his 414-foot solo homer gave the Mariners a boost, but his .200 batting average and shaky defense at shortstop are raising red flags. While he’s still getting on base with walks, advanced metrics hint at wasted potential. The Mariners can’t ignore his defensive lapses, especially with prospect Colt Emerson looming. Crawford’s smart move to shift to third base might be the answer, but the team’s dilemma is clear: how long can they keep him at shortstop?
