Aybar went 2-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran got the start at short after sitting on the bench for San Diego's previous two contests. There appears to be a timeshare developing between he and Allen Cordoba (bats right-handed), but it isn't a traditional platoon as the switch-hitting Aybar got the start against a southpaw Wednesday. While the former offers a stronger bat in the lineup, the latter provides value to the club with solid defense up the middle. Chase d'Arnaud remains in the equation despite not starting lately. It would be best for deep-league owners to take in a larger sample size before deciding if any of the Padres' shortstops can settle into a regular role.
