    Though I criticized that play last night, overall he’s looked good in the field this year.  3 of the 4 defensive metrics I look at have him in positive territory: 2 OAA, 1.3 UZR, 1 Rdrs, -2 Rtot.  He’s faster than Hays and covers more ground.  Hays catches anything within diving range and has great body control, but many of those balls he dives for would be caught without diving by a faster outfielder or one who gets better jumps.  Not that I’m complaining about Hays, who was a deserving Gold Glove nominee last year.  

    Cant have 'glass man' Hays diving for the ball. His most recent injury was just from rounding first on a hit and going back to the base.

     

  2. I've noticed that a couple times instead of taking chances on running in and attempting a shoestring type catch, Cowser just lets the ball drop in for a hit. It's like he doesn't have the confidence to try a running/diving type catch. So far, it appears that he is not a plus outfielder.

    Each of his last two games, when he got pulled, he is shown on TV in the dugout and he is mad and punching the wall in front of the dugout.
