So? Home runs don't come in even distribution. He's hit well all season and you were fraudulently trying to say that he hasn't.

He does have good offense... very good offense. His D hasn't been good this year but it's been pretty decent in the past.

Career wise Carrera and Saunders grade out as basically equivalent fielders as measured by dWAR (but I'll grant that he's been a better fielder over the first half this year) and Saunders has a significantly better bat. I'll grant that Carrera is a better baserunner but that's the only thing he has over Saunders.
