I enjoyed his non-answer on Adam Jones's defense.

 

"I haven’t researched it, although I have heard occasionally that metrics don’t favor him.... His offense undoubtedly helps him win Gold Gloves, as has been the case as long as I can remember... he gathers awards because he’s a gamer and very skilled.”

 

IOW the metrics might be onto something but I can't say that in public.
