E5 makes the big plays...no question about it.... problem with this guy is he has mental lapses... he will bugger up a easy play that should be made.

There is a reason why he is used as a DH 99% of the time this season.

As for 1st, he is below average.

Lind is a better 1st baseman than E5 .... which does not say allot for either of them defensively...
