WOWY: Firstbasemen

By Tangotiger, 11:20 AM

Well, Rally beat me to it, which is fine. He applies my With Or Without You approach to infielders’ errors, with and without their firstbasemen. That is, how did each infielder’s errors change, with and without JT Snow on the field. And with and without Tino Martinez on the field, etc.

As Rally points out with Tino, Chuck Knoblauchead should be treated specially. We know that Chuck was a completely different player at the end. I’d separate him into two players: Chuck Knoblauch, and Chuck Blauchead.
