So because Blalock has few errors and high FPCT he's a gold glove 3B? Errors are a very unaccurate stat, how many times have you seen a guy get a cheap error on a play he shouldn't have or make an error and the hitter gets credited with a single? Errors are a judgement call and thus inaccurate. Chavez has 4 more errors than Blalock, and as someone who watched a ton of Oakland games I can tell you alot of them were unfairly credited. Early in the season before Dan Johnson was called up Oakland had an awful defensive 1B in Scott Hatteberg who missed at least 4 Chavez throws that Mark Teixiera or any decent 1B would've dug out. I've seen alot of Oakland and Texas games and Chavez > Blalock.
One again VEL you don't understand stats. I like how you just took the top 3 guys in fielding % as your candidates though. Watch the games sometime. |

Really, we should all have your life, where you get to watch every game of every team. First) I brought up other names, didn't say one deserved more then another, just gave some names, names that clearly qualify if you know 1/2 of what you claim. Second) I do watch games, I also understand stats you don't. It's called a gold glove, it's based of fielding, not "how you think the player looks". Error's and f%, that's defense. Of course can't blame you for watching Oakland v. Texas, anything's better then a Mariners game. |
