I may be forgetting a good play he made, but really all I remember is 2 errors, tagging the base instead of the runner on a stolen base attempt, and making routine plays adventures to this point. I'm never going to be a big fan of his, his appearance just rubs me the wrong way. Acts like he just doesn't give a damn about anything, if Lyons didn't have a brain fart and throw him a fastball his batting avg would be below .100 and he'd have zero rbi's.
