Gennett is better than Sogard, in their careers over 162 games Sogard is a 1.3 WAR while Gennett is 1.8.

But Sogard can play other positions besides second so it gives them a better utility option than a guy that just plays second.

Why is there always a brother who fails?
Oswaldo and Orlando
Gavin and Gerrin Cicchini
The weaver brothers (ish)
Bryce and His brother Harper

My fave is Robin Yount’s brother, Larry Yount, who is the only player to be an official game but never record a stat, as he blew his arm out warming up before the game. Behold his marvelous baseball-reference page!

That’s not always the way it goes, but alot of the time that’s true going back to the like of the Conseco’s,Drews,Vladimir and his brother ,the Niekro’s wasn’t bad the Ripken’s were ok but awfully hard to live up to what Cal did,Joe Carter’s brother Larry is in the softball hall of fame

Cal and Billy Ripken!

Colby and Cory Rasmus fit that bill. If Tyson Ross comes back strong though him and Joe might be able to be outliers to that theory

Look at the Phillies over the years. Vince DiMaggio, Frank Torre, Ken Brett, Juan Bell, Mike Maddux (not necessarily a failure but he wasn’t Greg), Jeremy Giambi. They even signed Marcus Giles at one point.
Mo Vaughn
Then you have cousins in Manny and Hanley Ramirez
John Murray
Tommie and Hank Aaron…Ken and George Brett…

But how will the face of MLB deal with Matt Garza – hater of Sogard’s wife?
A'sfaninUK
Probably how he deals with everything, by playing baseball horrendously but being a “fan favorite” because he wears glasses and looks like he belongs in IT, not on a diamond.
Thats cool he looks like that, but the guy can’t hit to save his life and his defense is massively overrated. He’s a classic AAAA guy. Brewers shouldn’t let him sniff the big league team, but he’s fine as org depth in case their entire infield gets hurt or something.

Why does Garza hate Sogard’s wife? Were they together?
Ruben_Tomorrow 2
Twitter war when Garza ranted about Sogard bunting in a game.
AddisonStreet
Was he a staple in their infield or did he have limited time? which is is?
TheMichigan
Both, his bat was so bad they hated playing him, but his defense was so good they couldn’t not play him.
