at a premium

At home and with clean sheets in general at a premium, Sels makes sense.

With Joe Root and possibly Ben Stokes to return in the new year, spaces in the top six will be at a premium.

With both towering more than 6-feet-5 and weighing well over 310 pounds, space is at a premium, which could have led to quibbles.

But while Ohtani has been relegated to designated hitter while he recovers from Tommy John surgery, Lindor has played Gold Glove-caliber defense at a premium position, racking up an NL-leading 17 outs above average according to Fangraphs.

While that means space is at a premium, it creates a lively, “only in SoCal” energy that no other theme park can match.
