There is a number for how many poor throws there are to first, and than for how many a good defensive 1B gets, an average one gets, and a bad one gets. Even EE will still get every good throw and probably half of the bouncers. Over the course of a year it might be 4 or 5 more errors than Lind would make. How many more runs can a 750 OPS player give you than what Lind is currently giving you?
