Shortstops have been comedy gang recently regardless of their pedigrees. I'd guess they probably cut Hechevarria when Dansby is ready to come back, and if guys aren't going to be on the postseason roster and aren't going to be here next year, then there's not much to be lost cutting them loose a month early.
Metrics have him slightly below-average this year, but above-average to very good the previous four seasons. He’s thirty, but given the noise associated with single-season defensive metrics, I’m willing to bet he’s still a true-talent above-average defender. I don’t know that I’d make the same wager on Culberson (and I’d definitely wager that Camargo is below-average).

Culberson brings a better bat and glove as far as numbers go, I don't get living the past making Hechevarria our starting shortstop. If anything use him as a sub late for defense considering his bat sucks.
