Who is better defensively at 3rd base Miguel or Mike Lowell? I want to know if Miguel is an upgrade from Mike Lowell not just offensively but defensively. I mean Miguel has got a canon at third base.

Miggy's defense is good at third, but Lowell is a gold glover.

This is true but Miguel can become a gold glover very soon.

Not with Rolen in St. Louis.

Lowell may be a Gold Glover, but Cabs range is more impressive. Cabs moves to his left very well, while Lowell looked like he was wearing cement boots most of the time.

 

Let's see just how consistent Cabs can be this year.

what? :blink: lowell was a great third-basemen..cabs has looked decent so far. miguel's arm is an upgrade..but not many runners beat out a throw from lowell. we've seen a lot of lowell over at third base-gold glove winners don't look like they're "wearing cement boots"-but we haven't seen much of miguel at all. maybe, hopefully he will be a lowell over there but don't count on the goldglove while rolen is healthy

mikey had very limited range at third.

 

 

he made the plays he was able to get to...but his range was mediocore at best.

 

Miguel is a big time upgrade in terms of range.

 

As long as Miguel makes the plays he shoudl be making, we upgrade big time.

And if he doesn't but turns a couple doubles down the line or into the gap into a single or one-base error or knocks down a ball to prevent a runner from second or third from scoring, that's still an improvement.

lowell has the best fielding percentage in the history of the national league..

 

This isnt even close

 

 

This is why fielding statistics are the most flawed statistic in baseball.

 

Anyone who has seen Miguel and Lowell play 3rd will tell you Cabrera is a lot better.
