Abreu-Jeter or Jeter-Abreu would be a killer 1-2. Instead, we put the guy projected to have the second-lowest OBP of all the original starters to leadoff.

Good thinking.

Dude, have you not been watching the yankees? They've always worked completely backwards. Johnny Damon had the lowest OBP of all the starters last year and he led off. OBVIOUSLY you put the guy who had the second lowest OBP on the team in his spot. It's only logical.

That's because their defense is terrible.

werent they fourth in AL FRAR last year?

either way, Jeter was the problem tonight

he had 2 errors and I counted three bouncing singles up the middle which a major league shortsop should at least be making contact with that he didn't even touch

add in 3 wild pitches and 1 passed ball...

ugly, ugly game

No idea, but I find that rather impossible. I know 2 seasons ago The Fielding Bible had Cano, Jeter, and Matsui(and Bernie) all bottom 2 at their position.

Dial's ratings have almost all of their players well below average :

Well, I think we can all agree that Matsui and Jeter aren't the best at their position... not even close.

Cano is still developing, I'm not ready to write him off yet.

That said, we should be careful when using defensive metrics, for the obvious reasons we all know.

Found it.

Not FRAR, but team defensive efficiency.

Yanks were number four in baseball:
