NL Central Pissing Match - 2010

[shiloh26]

Do the Brewers have the worst infield in all of baseball?

1B Fielder
2B Weeks
SS Betancourt
3B Casey McGehee

Defensively, maybe.  Offensively, that is 2 100 RBI guys, a 25+ HR, 100+ R leadoff hitter, and.... well, and Betancourt.

Worst infield in all of baseball?  What?  Fielder, Weeks, and McGehee all rake offensively.  McGehee is a good but not great defender.  Fielder is a completely underrated defender...not saying he is a great defender but I think people think that he's a bad defender just because he's a big boy.  Not true at all.  He's actually a solid defender.  And Weeks's defense improved a TON last year.  Became a very good defensive 2nd baseman.  Betancourt sucks.

This is a very above average infield overall.

Defensively, yes.  Fielder, Betancourt, and McGehee are among the worst at their position. Weeks is a little better than average.

Offensively, no.  Fielder and Weeks are among the best at their position, McGehee is above average, and Betancourt is among the worst.

If Betancourt gets more than 200 plate appearances this year, that is a major problem. The guy is replacement level at best. Even at this late stage in his career, Counsell is a better option. Maybe they'll give Cruz a shot there.

The Brewers are pretty solid overall but have major problems up the middle (SS, CF, C).  If they are in it at the trade deadline, those are 3 positions I would definitely try to upgrade if I was Melvin.
