Saying his glove is the inverse of his bat is probably an overstatement considering how terrible his bat is, but his defensive stats have always been good. It sounds like he won't even be on the team most the time. Good guy to stash in Kentucky if, God forbid, Cozart goes down for an extended stretch.
