During the off-season, when FA starting pitchers were going off the market and it looked like we were going with trades, youngsters and/or reclamation projects, many of us were then focussed on, ‘Okay, then, they’d better get a stellar defense in place.’ While the pitching has been so much better than expected, not enough can be said of the defense. That play of Correa’s last night, and Urshela’s the night before … wow. Even the pitchers, in interviews, have commented how much a boost it is to them to have that defense behind them. While Correa’s bat needs to finally show itself, his defense is a difference maker. And I thought we were going to miss Donaldson. As much as I was upset they traded him, and as much as I like Donaldson as a player, I’m saying to myself, ‘Donaldson who?’ Defense matters … right, @nicksaviking? ??
