I’m disappointed to hear where you guys rank him defensively. I was excited by this signing as I always thought of him as one of the best defensive shortstops in the league, but I haven’t studied the metrics and I guess I don’t know him that well.
I think his point, or belief, is that if O'Day hadn't been included, we would have received better prospects in return. Assuming that is true, it makes sense, and we shouldn't have traded O'Day.
