Aviles never seems comfortable to me...like...he's trying to make up the talent gap with effort, and ends up being frantic instead. Good numbers, Munson. Aviles never seems comfortable to me…like…he’s trying to make up the talent gap with effort, and ends up being frantic instead.

Thanks. I've been meaning to study up more on sabermetrics, but every time I try and dive in, I feel like I'm back in junior high school trying to learn algebra again, minus the hot teacher (thanks Miss Current - I didn't learn anything...but thanks, anyway).

Yuni is -6 runs on defense this year, Aviles only -2.9. But, if you correct for playing time (i.e., if Aviles had played as much as Yuni), Aviles is at -4.5. Then, if you correct for position (a 5 run difference between SS and 2B), Aviles would be at -7 runs, so a run worse than Yuni. Score one for the eye test.

Robert Ford (http://twitter.com/raford3) also shares this feeling with us... Not to mention my buddy Ryan... I can barely stomach watching a Royals game with him... Always screaming at Mike Aviles...
