Id' be shocked if they didn't get Furcal. The backlash will be fun when this is done. But Neifi's a fine backup, he can play 3 IF positions and is a terrific defender. People always moan that these guys are a dime a dozen, but if I have no problem giving more money to Neifi, when dime-a-dozen guys like Enrique Wilson, Rey Ordonez, Ramon Martinez, etc. do worse offensively, and much worse defensively. Rob Neyer's had a column recently discussing the Gold Gloves, and the Gold Glove winners at shortstop got some attention, where he disagreed with Derek Jeter and Omar Vizquel winning. Anyhow he went about ranking the NL GG contenders by three different sabermetric formulas - Win Shares, Ultimate Zone Rating, and Fielding Runs over Replacement. Here's how the NL shortstops stacked up: Win Shares: 1. Rafael Furcal 2. Neifi Perez 3. Jack Wilson Ultimate Zone: 1. Adam Everett 2. Neifi Perez 3. ???? 4. Rafael Furcal Fielding Runs: 1. Neifi Perez 2. Rafael Furcal 3. Jack Wilson
