I can take that he's defensively meh if youve never seen him play on a constant basis..

You do realize when you hit 7th in a line up you get better pitches to hit than if you were higher in the order..theyre not going to pitch around you in anyway hitting 7th

Utley and Zobrist are beast defensive 2nd basemen... oh, and they're beast offensive 2nd basemen, too. In Zobrist's case, you're probably dealing with a smaller sample size b/c he only really has 1.5 years worth of data, and it's allllll good.

When they were pitching around Hill, why is his OBP so poor?

Certainly looks like they've changed up that weird bouncy batting stance for Ian Kinsler.

I've never watched Hill on a consistent basis, but the numbers indicate that he's slightly below average. Not BAD, but not good or great.

It's crazy to see his OPS that low after launching 36 bombs.

He strikes out a fair bit..I didnt say he was the best over all in hitting..I said he is a little less than Cano..but much better fielder..not worth arguing we have our opinions..But Hill faces the Yankees..Cano doesnt..lol besides cano is probably 10th
