Re: Worst position player defensively

Garret Anderson a couple years ago with the Braves. If anyone watched a Braves game that year and he was in LF you would know what im talking about.

I'd go Alfonso Soriano.

Pat Burrell was atrocious in LF for Philadelphia for many years.

Julio Lugo?

Re: Worst position player defensively

Probably not the worst overall but Ryan Theriot really seems to routinely botch up plays at SS for the Cards.

Lance Berkman isn't very good defensively either, hes a statue out there and any ball hit his way can be problematic if he has to run for it.

Theriot just needs to give up SS and start playing 2B permanently and he'd be okay.

Agree, I really wish he would do that.

Re: Worst position player defensively

Here are some guys that stand out to me:

Catcher- Ryan Doumit (Couldn't throw out a runner stealing second to save his life)
Shortstop- Ronny Cedeno (He just can't do anything right)
Left Field- Alfonso Soriano (Watched him against my pirates on a game during Father's Day. The Cubs were up in the 9th with a guy on second or third. He just completely dropped an easy fly ball. The runner scored tying it up. Later on he just didn't give much effort on a different fly ball that should have been easy if tried. The Pirates won cause Soriano is absolutely horrible.)

Edwin Encarnacion, The guys nickname is E5 you cant beat that hes atrocious

Re: Worst position player defensively

have to agree, Soriano and Dunn are pretty laughable on Def as well as Encarnacion, think half of Sorianos problem though is just lazyness, never seems like he tries overly hard to make the play.

[DieHardYankee26]

He's now a DH, but watching Posada catch last year was painful.

Re: Worst position player defensively

If were talking about retired players, I'm surprised no one mentioned Manny. You can put Boston catchers on the list too, since they can't throw anyone out.

Re: Worst position player defensively

based on throwing arms i would have to say the two worst are Johnny Damon and Carlos Lee. Honestly I have no idea how someone as big as Carlos Lee can have such a bad arm. He plays in the smallest left field in baseball and he can barely make it to his cutoff men on plays at the plate. Its truly embarrassing that a big leaguer can have that bad of an arm

Add Nate McLouth to this list. Aaron Rowand is close to being just as slow, and is very inaccurate to boot.

"The Sheriff" Mark Reynolds

Leads the league in fraudulence at the hot corner. But I don't care, I love The Sheriff.

Re: Worst position player defensively

Edgar Renteria

leads all active shortstops in errors and already has 8 this year while playing backup
