I feel like the default answer for most people when a SS is bad is to suggest a move to 2B. Lowrie is a really bad 2B too.

 

Well, being fair, he has played only 34 games as 2B through 4 seasons, and his defense is just above the average.(His Rdrs is 1)

McDonald is a joke he shouldnt even be in the big leagues period. I bet the guy couldnt even play in little league.....not joking.

for any defensive metric to say anything accurate you need more than a full seasons worth of data. so statistics on 34 games worth of defense means absolutely nothing at all. the eye test is all you need and the dude turns a double play like a statue at 2B and has bad range everywhere on the diamond.

Furbush been lucky as f***. Like 5-6 hits taken away.

 

He made us look bad the other day in Detriot as well... I'm not sure if it is just lucky anymore. :(

why can't this team ever play well in seatle?

 

A long flight at the end of a long road trip, with a three hour time difference? It gets exhausting.

Yoooouuuukkk! Damn it why couldnt Ellsbury or Gonzo been on base too? It might be too little too late now with the crap we have coming up in the 9th....

yup, and that's why we can't judge his defense at that position IMO...

well, by statistics maybe, but when somebody obviously lacks the skills to play a position, its pretty apparent if you watch them struggle for even a week straight at the position. Lowrie is that bad I think. I have hope he could play 3rd at some point in the majors.
