Milwaukee Brewers' Ryan Braun can't make a catch at the wall at baseball spring training in this, Feb. 21, 2008 file photo, in Phoenix. The 24-year old Braun is adjusting to a new position in left field. Last year, he committed 26 errors in 112 starts, numbers he has called embarrassing.

 

Smalls: How do I catch it?

Benny: Just stand out there and stick your glove out in the air. I'll take care of it.

 

Note to self: having your eyes closed NOT the best way to catch a baseball.

He's the Babe Herman of our day....from Herman's wiki page:

 

Herman was an outstanding hitter, but a markedly below-average fielder who led the NL in errors in 1927 as a first baseman and in each of the next two years playing in right field. Fresco Thompson, a 1931 teammate, observed: "He wore a glove for one reason: because it was a league custom."

 

Herman developed a self-deprecating attitude about his shortcomings; when informed by a local bank that someone had been impersonating him and cashing bad checks, he said, "Hit him a few flyballs. If he catches any, it ain't me."

he seems happy to not know where the ball is

I think he's happy it didn't hit him in the face.

Braun was the worst defensive 3B in baseball. He's likely to be the league's worst LF, at least in 2008. Cubs RHs should pull the ball against Milwaukee pitchers constantly.

he won't even be the worst defensive LF in the division. or the 2nd worst.

there are some pretty bad defensive LFers in this division -- Braun, Duncan, Dunn, El Caballo
