I would be fine if he were a .2 70 hitter. Just because he makes errors doesn't make him a bad shortstop.

Maybe I'm mistaking you for someone else, but...
Then why all the bashing on Ryan Theriot?...

OK...
I put my two cents worth in on that, too...
Did Starlin Castro's hitting decline when he was put in the three hole?...
His BA hitting third wasn't up to what he was doing, prior to that...
Still not sure where you come up with that I have tied his hitting in, with his fielding woes...

Why not? He was a poor defender and a poor hitter. What's not to bash?

You mentioned errors when you were talking about the choices to hit third.

I guess you are going to here...
"Starlin Castro's hitting is causing him to lack in defense"...

I am not going there at all. I am going by what YOU said. YOU were the one who brought up errors as a part of hitting, not me.

But you would give a pass to a .270 hitter that has made the second most "E's" on all of MLB...You got me there...

There is a lot more to defense than errors. Even with those errors Castro converted over 50 more outs last year than Theriot did in his best season(rationalized out to the same number of innings)

I will be willing to give up 15 more errors if it means my SS is getting to 70 more balls

If he is a good young defender, why not?

Time will tell...

It told us that I was right about theriot. You still haven't explained what errors have to do with hitting third.....

Perhaps you could find my post where I blame hitting third causes "E's"...

I never made the claim that you said that. So I am not sure why that would matter.

<goopygeer waves the white towel>...
I surrender, Tommy...

I am not sure what you are even talking about now.
