This is for the people that have mentioned the defense is overrated, under achieving, and was "predicted" to be sub par.
There is only one position that can be improved. After that, I dont see how it can be better. Here is a breakdown.
C - Matheny - Gold Glover
1B - Pujols - Soon to be Gold Glover
2B - Womack/Hart - Both can get the job done. Womack struggles a bit to turn every DP that we expect, though we may have been spoiled from Vina's above average ability to turn the dp in the blink of an eye. Who could we have gotten to be a better defender? Alomar?
SS - Edgar - Gold Glover, struggles early
3B - Rolen - As good as it gets
RF - Reggie, aint JD Drew, but that isnt a bad thing in terms of games played
CF - Jimmy - gets it done, less flare this season and might be healthy enough to play the year out
LF - Marlon - this is the main problem. So is a very good defender, who else should we have gotten to play here? The loss of Cairo is a killer, considering he can do it all. Also, we may miss Orlando a bit. He was solid out there. The biggest thing is bringing up Hart and leaving down very capable outfielders in AAA.
What should have been done or more importantly, what should be done?
