He was 1st for LF, 5th in range factor for LF, 3rd in fielding percentage for LF, 3rd in putouts for LF.  I'm not saying he's a gold glove candidate, but he's got to be a step up from the other outfielders the O's are looking at like Bruce and Granderson.  Just wondering what makes him so far below average defensively.  Are we talking a little below average or Bruce/Trumbo bad?  I'm not sure I can stomach 4 years of Trumbo stumbling around the outfield.

Melky's Defensive Runs Saved was -5, his plus/minus runs saved was -13, his range was a -8.8 and his UZR was -7.1. Kim's DRS was -7, =/- -13, range -3.9 and UZR -7.1. So basically the same guy out there.

And he's strictly a left fielder, so he doesn't help in right.
