Jason Bartlett

By Tangotiger, 01:31 PM

Poz takes the Tampa writers to task about Bartlett. I noted the following:

From 2003-07, among the 45 SS with the most games, Bartlett’s UZR puts him 5th overall. #1 by far is Adam Everett, and then it’s a tight race between #2 through #7.

From 2006-08, he is #5 in Dewan’s Plus/Minus. #1 by far is Everett.

In the 2008 Fans’ Scouting Report, among the 30 SS with the most games, Bartlett ranks 3rd.

Whatever misgivings you can rightfully have of Bartlett should not carry over to his fielding.
