"I couldn’t tell you if Derek Jeter is a plus player because I don’t know where their spray charts tell him to play. We understand it when Aybar doesn’t get to a slow roller up the middle because he was shaded so far toward third base. No shortstop would get to that ball, but if you’re grading it, it’s a minus."
Mike Scioscia’s hatred of defensive stats.
I’ll readily admit that defensive statistics aren’t an exact science yet, but I really hope Scioscia added an off the record, “You only have to watch Derek Jeter to know he’s not a plus defender.”
