"Slightly above average." I can agree with that. But remember that next time someone tries to tell you that Stubbs is some defensive asset in CF for the Reds. He's about average. He's fast and has a good arm, but is bad at several things (bad around the wall, bad at ground balls/one-hoppers, etc).
Solid AB from Phillips after swinging at a pretty terrible pitch to go down 0-2.
Stubbs' defense may not be perfect, but it is the LEAST of this team's concerns.
One hit through 4. One.

I think he's very good out there. He makes plays look routine that other guys make diving acrobatic plays on. He does, however, avoid contact...with the wall and the ground. I rarely see him dive or make the acrobatic play. I'll take him out there every day of the week. If there's any OF defender on here who's overrated, it's Heisey.
Bruce with a pop up to right field. Guy swings straight up much of the time.
BTW, we're fine in this game. Plenty of time left, only down 2 runs. Let's do this.
Stubbs is a LOT better than Heisey on defense in centerfield.
