I would agree. He's about as good of a color guy as you'll find. A lot of people like these self promotional flashy guys that rely on modern analytical techniques but I find them too generic for my tastes. Stone has all the ingredients of a classic analyst and even though he's not native to the area he grew up on the game locally that allows him to speak intelligently on that Cubs. I like fun people. Stone isn't fun to me.
Zobrist has had one season below average defensively and he's been above average again this year. I could see that, i guess when your comparisons on the team are Russel and Baez you look meh in comparison
