Takes lead for shortstop job
Giants manager Bob Melvin hinted Saturday that Ahmed is now ahead of Marco Luciano in the competition for the starting job at shortstop, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. "There's some time left," Melvin said of the competition. "It's not like Marco's got a lot of consistent at-bats. Obviously, the hamstring thing set him back quite a bit. We want to make sure we get him a little deeper in games and play him a little bit more but also understand he's coming back from an injury that you don't want to happen again."
ANALYSIS
Ahmed has enjoyed a torrid start to the spring since signing a minor-league deal with the Giants on Feb. 26. He's gone 5-for-9 with two home runs, five RBI, five runs and two walks over four Cactus League games. That's far better than Luciano's 1-for-14 mark (.071 average) with nine strikeouts over six contests. Ahmed also provides veteran experience and solid defense, while Luciano has struggled in the field in spring games. Ahmed's chances of keeping up this pace are low -- he slashed .212/.257/.303 with just two home runs over 72 contests last season with the Diamondbacks before he was released in September.

Many of the job battles in the NL West involve Rockies pitchers you want no part of, but whoever wins the Padres' closer role could return plenty of fantasy value.

Lingering shoulder discomfort delayed Ahmed's 2022 debut for a couple of weeks. While on the COVID-19 list in late May, Ahmed experienced more shoulder soreness and was ultimately shut down followed by season-ending surgery. Ahmed was more productive than the prior year in the 17 games he played, but it's a small sample. Geraldo Perdomo took over at shortstop for Ahmed, but he finished with a .547 OPS so the two should battle for the job in the spring. Even if he prevails, Ahmed's production doesn't move the mixed league needle. He's best suited for NL-only formats.
