Nolasco really isn't bad. He had a terrible year, yes he did, but I think some of you guys are going overboard and forgetting how good hes been in the past

He pitches to contact for ground balls, I think what people tend to forget is our defense in the infield is garbage. It's what explains Nolasco's stats to an extent too (what was his BABIP?). If Hanely can man 3b well and with Reyes at short, maybe there numbers start to pick up. Im not saying they become solid over one signing, but you can only hope for the best if we really are sticking with them next year.

 

The infield defense should be fine next year, outside of the indecision regarding Hanley at 3B. Infante and Gaby were both several runs above average last year, while Reyes has been a few runs below average defensively. So, it's an above-average defensive infield based on last year's stats, not counting Hanley. Where he'll land, I don't know.

My eye balls tell me that Gaby is no good at 1st :shifty
