otoh he has not graded out well there this year at all i'd much rather see almora in there, esp vs the lhp One thing I've come to notice is that I look at defensive stats very, very different from other posters here. I don't believe in single season sample sizes for defense, let alone chunks of a single season getting extrapolated out with the /150 stat. The developer of UZR stated 2+ seasons, big and multi year samples, so I lean heavily in that direction. Thrown in that his UZR is all of -.4 anyway, he makes the routine plays, and I can't sweat the small stuff. Overall as a ML he's done well out there, I trust and belee in that now and moving forward. well it's not like i don't think he's competent. i just mentioned he hasn't graded out well. between that and his hitting, liriano, and the fact that almora has looked amazing in the field, i'd rather see him playing tonight.
