Could have done with the last sentence. Blatant flame attempt.
Regardless, my point is, Theo made a commitment to "pitching and defense" yet he has an average to below average SS and a terrible catcher. You build a run preventing defense UP THE MIDDLE. He sold sox fans on defense in 3B and LF.
And in terms of Ellsbury, he is the better CFer on the Red Sox imo. He knows the wall, he's younger, he's faster, ETC. Most people who actually claim to know UZR, know that it is not a good stat when taken over one season. For example, Ellsbury was a 3 in 2008, then dropped to -18 in 2009? Ridiculous. Also, your boy Cameron, was essentially at 0 in 2005 and 2006 and was a -10 in 2007. Are we to assume that he is gaining range in his late 30s? Its a better stat to average over a 3-4 yr period. Also, Cameron's is gonna be incredibly low this season
