Middle infielders are typically the best athletes on the field. It's hard to play SS or 2B when you're carrying a spare tire or got massive overdeveloped muscles. Hit tool is still the most important tool any player can have. Ever seen Miguel Cabrera or Albert Pujol's dad bods? Yea, never stopped them from hitting, but is kind of a drag in the field and on the bases.

Interesting they say we are controlling the running game as Adley's throws have been getting some attention on this board. It is true, we are #4 in SB allowed at 0.56. Last year we were #3 at 0.32. Appears SB are up all around but on a relative basis we are allowing about the same as last year. Don't get me wrong, I have seen Adley make some poor throws for sure.

You steal off the pitcher in most cases. Adley is managing a staff full of giants who look like they would get out of breath running up 2 floors of steps. Bautista is a base stealers dream.

Let’s not ignore McCann here: 7 SB and 9 CS.  That’s awesome.  Our overall numbers are near the top of the league because of McCann more than Adley.  You can criticize plenty of other things about McCann but his throws have been strong and on the money.

Wow, had not realized that. That is outstanding.

You heard it from the horse's mouth.  Adam Frazier must play.  His decision making and instincts is OFF THE CHARTS. 

Don't you'll love the immeasurables?

Some nice content from Elias there.

We can see the value they play on range. So maybe that explains Ortiz over Westburg, other than the 40 man. 
 

With Holliday being the long term piece at SS, wouldn’t Ortiz be the ideal fit at 2nd?  Or vice versa. Either way, we’re going to have great IF defense for a long time.

More Frazier hate. Isn’t he on pace for 16-17 jacks?  Ortiz has a .462 OPS with 9k 0BB. Frazier is the better option for this year.

He's on pace for an 86 OPS+.  How valuable is 16 dongs and nothing else?  He's got a 286 OBP.

Ya truly. Homers alone mean nothing

Frazier is just awful.  He's a lifetime mediocrity, with nothing in his history to suggest a future upside.  Elias blew it on this one, and appears to be too vain to admit it.  

The article was terrific.

He has a McCannon.

Seems better than Ortiz's OPS.
