Cedeno played shortstop in 293 games and had 102 errors in the minors. Izturis played 431 games at SS and had 83 errors in the minors. That's an error every 2.8 games for Cedeno. Izturis had an error every 5.2 games. Theriot had an error every 4.7 games. I don't see the defensive disparity that you speak of. Not in the least bit. Certainly not enough to brand him a defensive liability that forces us to negate his bat. Theriot has mediocre range and an ok arm. Ronny Cedeno has fantastic range and a great arm. He also has ADD on routine plays. But yeah, no defensive disparity at all. I know errors are a stupid way to look at defense. I just made a comment about an individual player and not a comparison. Did you watch the game today OMC? Theriot was horrible. Putrid range and a careless error. Good thing Soriano has a nice arm and Edmonds is Alou 2004 reincarnated.
