Are Mets’ Nick Evans and Ruben Tejada “all that” as fielders?

By Tangotiger, 05:24 PM

The Fans see Tejada as an average-fielding SS and a bit above average at 2B (something Dewan and UZR would also suggest).  Mark lays out the case that his “extreme” plays, his out of zone plays, or otherwise stand-out kind of plays, elevates him into a higher category.

Similarly, Fans are not impressed with Evans, but Mark suggests otherwise.

Nick Evans is now a Pittsburgh Pirate.


#2    Tangotiger      (see all posts) 2011/12/05 (Mon) @ 18:20

First line in Mark’s article:

“You probably didn’t notice that the Pittsburgh Pirates recently signed first baseman and outfielder Nick Evans to a minor league contract within the past two weeks. There wasn’t much reason to do so. “
