Fontenot is a backup at best. Love his scrappiness (puke), but still – Baker’s better defensively and he’s not 5’7"

Not sure how much better Baker is defensively.
Fontenot has put up really good UZR numbers, but whichever one hits stays. I’ve tried to stick with Fontenot as long as I could, but he’s just had a really disappointing year.
