I'm sold on the importance of defense and the general math of saving runs and producing runs. What can you tell me about defensive metrics to increase me belief in their reliability? It just seems so subjective to me. Isn't it all just an eye test? What are we really measuring with defensive metrics if it's not just someone's subjective opinion on whether the outfielder should have gotten to that ball.

This is the argument I have been presenting for Senzel to SS ever since the Akiyama signing. Fangraphs ran this article when Nick spent the spring of 2018 working on it https://blogs.fangraphs.com/paul-dej...ly-shortstops/.
Doug posted this article this morning https://redlegnation.com/2020/01/27/...-at-shortstop/
My feel is that Senzel will supersub at the beginning of the year and then once he feels 100%, he will wrestle away the SS job from Galvis because he is a vastly superior hitter and because range matters less and less in the age of shifting.
Could start Senzel in AAA to get him SS reps- question is whether his shoulder is up to it.

Great news - helluva off-season for the Reds !!!
I like your take on this. I love the depth it provides to the offense. I'm thinking it would not be a smart move to trade 4 years of Winker for 1 year of Semien. If Winker plus gets us a SS with multiple years of control, then ok. But I don't think the Dodgers have any use for Winker. The Indians aren't trading Lindor. Not sure I want Correa at this point with his injuries and his cheating. Colorado just extended Story which tells me they aren't trading him. Who does that leave?
