Nyjer Morgan: Best Outfielder Ever!!!
It turns out Morgan not only has been the best defensive left fielder in the majors through the first two months of the season but the best defender at ANY position with 11.8 runs saved. Second on the list is Seattle third baseman Adrian Beltre, the player once invented by Jim Tracy, at 9.3.
Morgan is nearly lapping the rest of the left fielders as the Los Angeles Angels' Juan Rivera is second with a 4.7 mark.
Ironically, UZR claims center fielder Nate McLouth, who won a National League Gold Glove for fielding excellence last season, is the weak link in the Pirates' outfield. He ranks 13th among in the majors at his position at minus-0.9. (Pirates Report)Pure stud.
That is an amazing statistic.
The guy can run like a deer, and seems to run great routes to get in position to make the out.
That only bodes well for the future of the Pirates outfield.
See, you guys might be only a short distance away from shaking up the division.
Just stay consistent and try and win series, and good thing happen.
So far the pitching is above expectations..right?
