For the sixth year in a row, I am once again asking for hardcore baseball fans to participate in the annual Scouting Report project, in which you evaluate the fielding characteristics of players on your team. If you have a few minutes, please drop by and evaluate your team:

I participated

Basically the best all around player is Alexei. Has quick bat, good arm, good accuracy, good glove, good release.

defensively

our best player is Brian Anderson…

Yea, I gave Brian better ratings

I just meant all around Alexei I think is our best.

quick bat came up in the fielding survey?

I missed that one, too

but that’s how good he is – you don’t have to ask.

Sad how many times I clicked “poor”.

makes routine plays look good/ugly and make me say "wtf are you doing che"

as mentioned in one of the gamethreads last night

he has a lot of balls go by him that he gets his glove near, especially to his right. He has a good arm, and is good on popups — he covers for JD and Konerko’s lack of range in that area — but a majority of balls he sees are on the ground, and he’s been lackluster in that area.

Seems thats the reason why he can play CF, even if not exceptionally well.

i think that suggests a positioning issue

which is what you’d expect from a guy playing there for the first time and in a new league for the first year.

i thought it was easy to find someone to play second?

seems to me that some of the stuff is unique to 2b. but a lot of it appears to be things that are not position specific. bodes ill for SS.

you don't think he's a net gain at second?

which things are not position specific?

the general boneheadedness? anything else?

not getting groundballs for starters.

there are some things that are different for a 2b than a SS but it’s pretty much the same, just from a different spot. i’ll allow that it takes some adjustment but he’s really not good.

I've thought the same thing

but it could just be that he gets poor jumps, because he has the speed to get to balls, but he just doesn’t get to as many as you’d think..

My other thought was that he didn’t really know how to “get his butt down” to help him get the glove on the ball and/or he doesn’t really know how to dive for a ball with confidence.

haha

i mean it would be a good reason to stop hanging out with him

by Jbasic89 on Aug 19, 2008 5:06 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

what is the formula for determining RZR?

I’ve looked it up on HT, but it seems a bit arbitrary to me.
