In all fairness I am being emotional with my lack of faith in Crawford contributing to this team. By the numbers you are probably making more sense. I have not seen many games this year where one defensive outfield play cost us that much. I will however always remember Crawford dropping the pop fly at the end of last season. Its not just that he had a bad year..... Its that I remember that deer in the headlight look durring his at bats, I remember his awful hacks like he was not at all comfortable. Given his best years were with a club that had low expectation and over performed.......I worry how things will continue in a high pressure,high expectation and under performing club in the midst of changes, drama, and recovering from an injury.
I will say by common sense your view makes me sense. I am admittingly being more of an emotional fan that probably placed to much hope in Crawford and Gonzalez righting all the wrongs with past free agent signings and have been very let down.
I hope you are right. From what the media presents I really like the type of person and player Crawford is. I guess its just 5 times bitten, six times shy with me.
