It doesn't seem like Tejada is an everyday SS anymore, and Cabrera is hitting worse than most of the starting rotation. Wouldn't you be able to bring up a minor league SS and get AT LEAST the same output as Cabrera? Zawadzki looked good in the games he started, though most of his ABs came in PH roles so it's hard to get in a groove.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01599290529283093064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-72413996522862823042010-08-05T07:13:14.981-07:002010-08-05T07:13:14.981-07:00Really would like to see another quality arm for t...Really would like to see another quality arm for the playoffs.<br /><br />Latos, Richard and Garland is pretty shaky.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05107604543551483908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-41449951239214145912010-08-04T22:39:38.475-07:002010-08-04T22:39:38.475-07:00Hmmm...

That lower ranking tells me Paul's metric is looking at something other than linear weights to judge offense.<br /><br />Of course, adjusting for park differences gives a much more accurate picture. The Padres' .328 wOBA* provided by StatCorner puts them around 8th in the league in offense.Melvin Nieveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997273985932834875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3031950757212286354.post-55001893005636395392010-08-04T09:53:18.156-07:002010-08-04T09:53:18.156-07:00Melvin,
