Stros defence

can be incredibly shoddy.

Kaz Matsui,.Tejada, Lee is sometimes a liability while carrying weight, Wiggy’s all right but had a bad defence-wise spring.

But overall they’re not bad.

by jonthefon on May 16, 2008 9:18 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Sounds like our defense

Kinsler has tremendous ability at 2B, but is error-prone… Mike Young has ZERO range at SS… our OF defense has been pretty good, though.

Range, speed, throwing arm?

I think it’s a tougher defensive position than SS, as far as how many tools you routinely have to use. Just my opinion, but I know A-Rod’s bat as SS was technically more valuable than Ham’s in CF.

how many times lately have we got ourselves a 4 run lead....

late in the game and made it a non save situation after CJ has warmed up??

It was the stand there looking confused for a while, before remembering he needed to go after the ball, after he missed it…
