ThurmanMunster Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I heard a stat the other day that he had the 2nd highest fielding % on the team since his call up. so i looked up a few other stats to see cuz i didnt want to go thru and count boxscores for errors. -The Reds are currently 15th in all of baseball in fielding percentage (fact). -99% sure, but i cant find a site to confirm it but i believe the reds are # 1 (fielding percentage) in the NL since the allstar break. -Edwin played 111 games last year 931 innings and had 25 errors (.916 fielding percentage and .741 zone rating). -This year 106 games 907 innings and 11 errors (.958 fielding percentage and .768 zone rating). -Edwin currently ranks 14th in all of MLB in fielding percentage for 3B. He ranks 6th in the NL at 3B. And for more support for Edwin. Aramis Ramirez used to play a pretty crappy 3B (in Pitt) and now is one of the best and leads all of MLB in fielding percentage. Edwin is 24 years old. He has fixed his defensive problem (big time) and has turned it into a positive. He is also hitting 321 in August with 2 HRs and 12 RBis. Up to 274 avg on the year. And is hitting 327 on the year with RISP for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you also said was that EE was better than Kepp at 3b; and I want to know what you had based that on when Kepp had a 1.000 fielding pct. With that said, EE at 3B/1B and Kepp at 1B/3b, with Gonzalez and Phillips up the middle. The problem I HAD with EE was that his hitting (at the time)was not sufficient enough tocover his merely adequate D.[/i] [i]Any/All improvements are a good thing.[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i see him make a lot of good plays along the LF line that i dont see Kepp make (altho EE has had more time there). EE is also a lot younger and that helps too.

I would tell my players that Rose could hit a ball closer to a spot in the outfield than I could throw to the same spot; even if I was standing only 10 feet away.[/i] [i]His approach at the plate was so businesslike and very intense. Pete would not get cheated; if he got called out on strikes Pete would argue that the ball was a 1/4 inch off the plate[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
