Los Angeles Dodgers 2025

I can see both sides. His defense has been outstanding, sure Freddy over there helps a lot, but he is a good SS.

I really think he turns in on down the stretch., Might not be till Aug or September but hes gonna find it.

I sure hope he does. I think we need his bat more than his defense. He's a great outfielder and infielder. I just don't think a few errors a season is a good trade off for losing that bat. If you go through stats of different positions, SS as a whole has the worst offensive numbers of any position now that pitchers have been taken out of the equation if I recall right. SS is the most active position on the field next to pitching. They don't generally just get over that fact and start being offensive juggernauts.

On the plus side, you have a catcher doing way better than catchers normally do. Hell, hitting way better than he normally hits. He doesn't look like the kind of guy who wears down either, like most catchers.

That was my fear. How many SS have batting titles? None? There’s a reason for it. I just don’t think it was a good move.

You might be on to something. All that lateral movement and body torque can really exhaust the muscles and throw off the swing

I am surprised Honus Wagner never won a batting title.
