| Hanley At Work |
Thanks to Matthew Kory of the authoritative
FanGraphs.com, we can definitively state that
Hanley Ramirez's defense in left field is
still awful. It's not just the "eyeball test", either. Hanley's UZR rating so far this season is -15.2. He's making Manny's left-field play look positively
Jackie Bradley, Jr.-like. As Kory succinctly puts it,
"Ramirez has done as much damage to the Red Sox in left field as the second-worst left fielder and fourth-worst left fielder combined." Oooh, that's
really bad. The article concludes that Hanley is bad at defense
period—no matter
where he plays in the field. Let's face it, folks: The man was
made to DH.
