If there's a threshold that needs to be hit for a (-) to register, this may throw a wrench into Mike's DH to RF idea as well?
My "Positive Plays Per Season" formula should take care of that. My C/RF generally fall 50 plays short of the norm.
Here's your boy over the last three seasons:

So, to me, he's only costing you 13 outs of a full 162 game, 9 inning season. That's assuming those others are typical 3B.
Thanks, Mike.
Hentgen did lose 4 points of range and 3 points of arm strength in the offseason. So there's that. Shouldn't be enough for that much of a difference, though.
Also, Buss is clearly a better defender than Hentgen was. Across the board...it's why I switched the 2 from 3B and 2B in the first place. So it's interesting to see them playing similarly in your formula. Maybe Hentgen overachieved last year.
This helps some. I was kinda shocked to see all the infield singles to 3B. I'm going to be paying more attention the rest of the year, maybe I'll end up changing something up. And maybe look at defense a little differently moving forward.
