That's hard to do. It's essentially the same as if he were batting .100 after 34 games--it doesn't mean he's actually that bad, but what has actually happened on the field has hurt his team nonetheless.<br /><br />That's if you believe in the stat itself. I don't think it's perfect, but I think if it reads -6.2 after 34 games, it means he's been pretty awful.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840958382433052735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8650264859764006366.post-21679807932721113102009-09-10T11:19:16.280-05:002009-09-10T11:19:16.280-05:00I wouldn't make to much of the Cabrera UZR. Sa...I wouldn't make to much of the Cabrera UZR. Sample size is small.<br /><br />Same with McLouth and McCutchen. Although, McLouth is an aweful fielder.Zach Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008120148742607293noreply@blogger.com
