I just don't see Williams having a future with the Pirates. But he plays SS almost every day while Peguero occasionally gets a start at SS but usually plays 2B or sits when Bae plays 2B. So in the event that Cruz's mobility is affected next season, does that mean another season of Williams at SS and Peguero at 2B? And where does that leave Gonzales? Gonzalez struggled with the Bucs hitting .216. But it's not as if they were in a pennant chase, and Williams hasn't even sniffed .216.

Peguero was a SS in the minors and Gonzales was a #1 draft pick (7th overall). But this organization that's supposed to be developing its young talent makes them both take a backseat to Williams, who has 26 starts at SS to Peguero's 14 while Peguero has another 18 starts at 2B while Gonzales is in AAA. And Williams doesn't hit and his defensive metrics are nothing special.
