You don't get that almost all first baseman in all of baseball will always have a negative grade, I don't know what to tell you.
I think they need a bat. My point was to do that you need a little bit stronger defense and a little bit better offense.
It doesn't mean I feel their defense is awful as a team, it's not, or great as a team, it's not.
But I don't think it's good enough for them to win a WS on pitching and defense.
Even if you want to stick to what your saying he's just below average then. I said just about everyone has been about average or better from the beginning.
There is zero case you can make that even with his slightly negative rating he has been BAD. Zero.

Isn't a single position we are weak at defensively right now except RF and that's only because of Granderson's arm. Murphy and Cuddyer are completely exceeding expectations.
Granderson and Cuddyer are in the 15 worst defensive outfielders in the NL (bottom 3rd of all defensive OFers). Flores has a negative grade, Duda is negative. all according to Fangraphs.
Who is positive? Lagares like I said, and Murphy, barely. Didn't check, but pretty sure neither catcher is a defensive stalwart, 3b is incomplete.
there is rose colored glasses which I can appreciate and then there's delusion.
This is the post I took offense to and where this all started. There is a ton of wrong in there and I was simply pointing it out.
Lol. Ok. Im sorry man. You're right.
If that's who it is he may be their coach of the year because it's astounding to me how good their advanced numbers are compared to the rest of the league. Lagares is the only true + defender in the lineup right now and yet across the board they are at worst average.
Also without one of our best gloves(Wright). Our third base defense has been abysmal (Cambell).
