September 6, 200620 yr This is what I call a Milwaukee question. It's the best of the wurst. I rate Willy worst by far, that's the only clear thing. Then in order of wurstness? I say Jacobs, Hanley, Cabrera, Amazega, Olivo, Hermida, Uggla. So I guess Uggla gets the nod amongst the everyday starters for most of the season as best of the wurst. I give props to Borchard, notwithstanding his Canseco-like play last night, and to Treanor. And I think Dontrelle could probably play better than any of them if he dedicated himself solely to that position. . . .Looking into the future I don't see much reason to hope for improvement, except from Ramirez.
September 6, 200620 yr I would say Uggla is our best defensive position player but our best defensive plays every 5 days...The D-Train by far is the closest thing to a GG contender we have. Shadez in a year or 2 will be unbelievable, Cabs needs a little more maturity. He has awesome tools he appears to lose focus at times. Ross is our best defensive Outfielder by far Cody also has a canon for an arm. Pasta is pretty bad but as far as a utility player goes he is pretty good as an infielder he very good but terrible as an outfielder. I like Olivo he will greatly improve. he has already

Oh come on now. Jacobs is by far the worst defensive player, and the infield is bad by our standards (Lowell, Lee, Gonzo, Castillo and CJ/Pudge/Redmond will do that) but it's far from the worst in the majors or even the league.
September 7, 200620 yr Abercrombie and Ramirez frustrate me (especially the former) but they have the talent and get it done most of the time. Uggla is very dependable and can turn in a great play often.
September 7, 200620 yr man, Hammer has played some real good d over the past few months I agree. He made a nice one tonight. He also hasn't trucked a teammate in weeks. Abercrombie and Ramirez frustrate me (especially the former) but they have the talent and get it done most of the time. Uggla is very dependable and can turn in a great play often. Reggie doesn't have the talent to be a MLB player.

Jake is not that bad of a 1st baseman, considering he has bad wheels from the beginning of the season almost
September 7, 200620 yr This team is nothing special when it comes to defense, but a number of players (Hanley, Uggla and Olivo being tops in theis department) can pull off some spectacular plays at times. If I was forced to name the best, I would have to say Miggy is brings the most reliable glove to the field day in and day out.
