    I looked at his fielding information from last year. His range is diminishing but his fielding pct was .989. MLB average for 2b was .983.

    The more removed from Luhnow this team gets, the further the regression.

    Jose was trending to be a notch below below-average at 2B this season, and Yordan needs to mostly DH. Altuve needs to hit (LF) and so does Rodgers (2B).

    Besides the fact Yordan isn’t great out there either they’ve already made clear as an organization they don’t want Yordan risking injury. But yes an ideal world Altuve would be DHing half the games and then “hiding” in LF on the days Framber and Hunter start since they are GB/K heavy pitchers.

    Yeah, not with Paredes a career.230 hitter. Power & walks are his strength, not contact.

    Of course they don’t score.

    Took 2 games to be frustrated with the lack of offense.

    He was a bottom 5 defensive 2B by metrics that actually matter. Fielding % means nothing when you don’t get to balls other 2B are getting.

    Yes, he led the league in fielding % last year I believe, as well as double plays turned. He is still quick & fast. His defensive decline at 2B is greatly exaggerated.
