Looking good

by plenz on Jun 22, 2008 9:37 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
the guy isnt a good defensive shortstop
but he’s also not built to be a shortstop…..all the guy is doing is playing out of position to help this team in a spot they needed to be filled. not to mention he has been very important to the lineup. if he’s the second basemen for this team people would probably be calling him an all-star
by cubsmania on Jun 22, 2008 9:37 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Those numbers are a bit off...
...he was quoting someone else who did an off-the-cuff estimate based on something I wrote a few weeks back. I think 18 runs is a bit high, but he’s on pace for 12-13 runs below the average shortstop on defense. He’s also – on the season so far – a below-average hitter for a shortstop, so long as you insist on using a measure more robust than batting average.
by cwyers on Jun 22, 2008 9:46 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Did you even bother reading it?
I have my quibbles with some of it, but there are these things called “facts” in there – Theriot’s hitting has declined since April, and his defense has been bad all season.
Ryan Theriot so far in June: .286/.333/.314

while theriots numbers in june arent what he was doing in april and may
they still arent terrible….not like he has fallen off the table…and at the same time cedeno has started to fall off the table with his hitting.

Off the cuff...
...let’s presume that Theriot and Cedeno have hit to their true talent level so far this season, which would make Cedeno (roughly) 11 runs worse than Theriot on offense. [Keep in mind I’m eyeballing this off their Baseball-Reference pages.]
In that event, if Theriot is a 13 run defensive liability, and Cedeno is an average shortstop (and I think that he is), he’s a better shortstop.
If not, the Cubs should do what they did when CF became a hole, and go outside the organization for help. Really, this isn’t rocket science.
by cwyers on Jun 22, 2008 9:55 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
is cedeno average at ss?
his fielding percentage is worse than theriot….are u basing that he’s an average ss because of his range? if range is the key factor in who should play ss freddy bynum probably has good range…he’s available.
