caulfield12 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (raBBit @ May 24, 2015 -> 06:49 PM) Names aside, it's disingenuous to assume one defensive metric applied in a small sample size is a definitive assessment of a player's defensive production. On what defensive standard shall we argue? You agree that we should go with the whoever makes the most errors is automatically the worst defender? I hope not. If you're going to say Semien is worse...then what is that based upon, other than errors? Yes, by "range factor" Alexei Ramirez is really good this season....and Jose Iglesias is pretty bad. Semien's down near the bottom. Nobody who has watched Ramirez all season long would say he's anything close to his best this year. Should we not make ANY comments about a player defensively until we have a 3 year trend/pattern to compare? Are all the writers and websites arguing Bryce Harper's the best player in baseball now also disingenuous for arguing based on two months of 2015 versus the cumulative results of the 2012-14 seasons?
