You really have to watch ALOT of games to get a feel for who is effective and who is less effective.

Errors are just a part of it, a small part of it. But unfortunately, unlike offensive advanced metrics, the defensive metrics as a tool, to this point pretty much suck IMO. Especially over the short term or even a whole season.

Our defense is hands down better overall and the only part that may not have improved much over 2012 is the corner outfielders.

The shifts have been very successful and this current group of Rays infielders play it much better than the past few years of increased shifting. I think a healthy everyday Longo and the addition of an everyday Escobar has led to the exceptional infield play in 2013

If you want to know how successful our radical shifting has been. Just look at other teams. In 2010 most teams did little or no radical shifting except to like a Papi.

Now fast forward to 2013 and most clubs are shifting as much as the Rays did in 2010 and 20111

One teammate sticking up for another AND simultaneously giving the knuckleheads in Toronto the figurative middle finger.

Just what the doctor ordered. I am glad they got Escobar back. A team has to stick together and let everyone else criticize the minutae thats irrelevant.

Pitching is a work in progress but it still ha s time to gel

If Ordorizzi has a second decent start and Hernandez continues to scuffle, do you think the Rays keep JO in the rotation and moved Hernandez to be the 6th inning/long guy. He seems well suited for that at this point in his career — getting some strikeouts and a ground ball pitcher. It also helps the Rays biggest weakness — the 6th inning, where pitching disasters have been all over the place.
