DonkeyKongerko Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 Ahh I've been looking for this article. I read it once and couldn't find it when we were talking about Jose not too long ago. Thanks Brando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Magglio and Caballo rated supringly high in 2003. Actually, I was more surprised by Konerko's rating than anyone else on the Sox. He's coming in at a just slightly below average 1B if I'm reading this right. I would have thought he would have been somewhat lower, though I never thought he was the defensive slug others have seemed to think he was. I also have to say that I thought Crede would be a bit higher at 3B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have to say that I thought Crede would be a bit higher at 3B. Kong was dead last in range last year, but apparently his nifty DP turning and lack of errors allowed him to jump up to "mediore". Crede is a trickier choice because the guy may one day be a gold glover, but IIRC he made quite a few costly errors (I remember a couple of 3-runers in particular) and since he takes sooo long to get rid of the ball, it probably hurt him on bang-bang plays where either you get rid of it quickly and risk an error or you might as well stick it in your pocket. In any case, "Cedeno" is the composite of 4 fairly complex methods whereas the Diamond Mind one is more mainstream, Adjusted RangeFactor-favoring approach. They come to same conclusion, though.

mmmmmbeeer Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Good to see Uribe 6th in the SS ranking. Glad Dransfeldt was playing SS tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
