    2011 GTP: Robert Andino

    Without a doubt he proved he was a big leaguer this year.

    Using the guidelines, I gave him an A in his "role" as a "utility player". If it was as a starter, which it basically ended up being, it would have been a C.

    This is where you get into debates about what the player did vs. what their expectations were.

    I'll give him a C for overall performance, A for exceeding expectations, and split the middle with a B overall.

    I cannot give him over a C because he is not a good offensive player, at any position. However, he did an admirable job filling it at second, and I believe he could be a utility player a la Melvin Mora lite. However, that's all he should be. Anybody that believes he should be, or can be an everyday player is delusional.

    It doesn't have to be. It could be what they did. In this case, I did have to think about the "role" thing though.

    As an everyday player he is a C- or D. As a UTI guy playing everyday I have to judge him as a B+. He knocked Boston out of the playoffs so I give him the benefit of the doubt, he gets a B from me.

    He did what they asked him to do very well, and he looks good out there. I just wish he could hit a little bit. Solid B.

    Came in the season as a utility player, filled in admirably and improved drastically.

    Being that I take expectation into my grades, I give the guy a high B/low A. He's basically our Elvis Andrus, but at 2B rather than SS. If he can improve his hitting (more doubles, please), then I think he'll be more valuable.

    I gave him a B because he exceeded by expectations by a lot and improved as the year went along. In terms of actual performance compared to other 2B, he was more like a C or C-.

    I had to give him an A. I just didn't expect anything from him yet he turned himself into a Major League baseball player. You can't ask for more improvement in a single season.

    This is why I gave him a C. My heart wanted to give him a B.

    His defense this year is what takes him up to a B for me. He really showed me an ability to play second base and he always fills in nicely at shortstop and hung in at third. He's a below average hitter, but like Jeff Reboulet, he seems to have a knack for coming up with the big hit. He was certainly a below average hitting second baseman but his defensive value really made him quite average there. Once you add in his ability to play shortstop and third effectively, I think he has to be better than a C. Regardless, he proved he's a big leaguer this year.
