We could be paying Dansby Swanson $565k this year to man SS this year and own his rights for the next five.
Is he playing well for his team right now. Can't think of what team he is on right now.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Drives in three
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Marte went 2-for-2 with three RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.
Marte was productive in all four plate appearances, notching a triple, single, walk and sacrifice fly. The 24-year-old got off to a slow start, but he's now hitting .400 in June and has been even hotter of late. In the last three games, Marte's hitting 6-for-11 with three extra-base hits, a steal and six RBI.

Yes he has.

Marte's consecutive extra-base-hit at-bats were, of course, a (good) extreme. Just as his bad start this season was a (bad) extreme. It has leveled him out as a solid infielder.
Whether his ongoing hitting is solid enough for 2B remains to be seen. Which is why I have been proposing that he start at SS against righty pitchers, against whom Ahmed is pathetic.
And when lefties start, as a switch hitter, Marte could move to 2B to give Descalso a rest, unless and until the D-backs come up with a younger, talented 2B.
Ahmed is an outstanding fielding SS. And a solid hitter against lefty pitchers. But Nick is a hitting liability in most games (those against righties) and Marte is a good fielding SS.
We have seen Ahmed benched against some righties lately. But he is still clearly the regular SS.
As long as Owings is not in the mix. He is no better than Owings as a hitter. Able to play 2B-SS-3B-LF-CF-RF -- very flexible. Able to hit well at any of those positions -- no. Except maybe SS, where he is a weak fielder.

Diamondbacks' Ketel Marte: Drives in four against Rockies
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Marte went 3-for-4 with a triple, four RBI and a steal in Arizona's 11-10 win over Colorado on Friday.
Marte doesn't post gaudy numbers on the same level of some of the league's big-name shortstops, but he's quietly putting together a respectable campaign, as he's now posted a .736 OPS to go along with nine homers and a National League-leading nine triples through 329 at-bats. The nine long balls are already a career high, and he's on pace to stroke 17 if he can maintain his current clip through the second half of the season.
