A small bit of negativity! League Brick Glove Awards!
AL Right Fielder: Jose Bautista
Defensive Runs Above Average: -19.3
Errors: 3
Since coming out of nowhere and bashing 54 home runs in 2010, Bautista has been one of the most feared right-handed hitters in all of baseball. He's clubbed 226 home runs in the past six seasons and has shown no signs of slowing down, even as he nears his 35th birthday.
There's a
reason he's known as
Joey Bats and not Joey Gloves, though. Bautista's -19.3 Def rating is the lowest among full-time AL right fielders. As long as he continues to do things like
this, the Blue Jays will not care one bit about his defensive play.
