I'll cut the Yanks slack on this one...Headley is/was a known DECENT quantity and could be looked upon as a place holder for two years (minimum) until, or if/when Jagielo was ready....and I don't think his 2015 error issue was something which was suspected or expected...,Headley is still, imo, not a bad guy to have at 3b, his errors are NOT the reason the Yanks are currently not rolling along in first place....imo.
...would have been better off with Prado at 3B...less years, less dollars. ARod too, as it turns out. ...and no one is blaming Headley for anything...not sure where that came from...that's not what this is about...not at all.
Calm down, I was responding to mrmel29's reply (#19), regarding HEADLEY and Jagielo. Rick...are you listening?.....reading?.....wow, you sure jump in quick when you see a joint opportunity to attack me. It's okay, I understand, I now know how "it" is. Lol. Make sure you re-read my reply to mrmel29 so you know where I was coming from. Okay, glad I nipped this one in the bud. Jeez
...I already knew exactly what/who you were responding to. ..."calm down"?...lol...I'm as cool as the center seed of a cucumber. Not sure what you think you "nipped".
Yeah there you go flattering yourself again, I live to attack you, Please, I'm as cool as the other side of the pillow. Okay, NOW! consider things nipped.
Headley 16 Errors, a .914 Fldg Pctg.............sick..... IF Headley were to continue on this horrid error streak of 015, and continue to screw up fielding, one would have to go back to the Dead Ball Era, to find a 3rd baseman with as worse a Fldg Pctg.
At the rate he's going he'll end up with over 30 errors. And to think, this guy won a gold glove in 2012.
Steve, Knoblach's problem was his arm while I believe most of Headley's errors have been on his fielding of the ball. But if you're talking about it being a mental thing then yeah.
...of his 16 errors this year, 9 are fielding errors and 7 are throwing errors. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/headlch01-field.shtml#advanced_fielding_3b::none
in 1999, Knobby had 26 errors, 25 fielding, 1 catching at 2B (150 games at 2B)... in 2000 (82 games at 2B), he had 15 errors total at 2B, 5 fielding, 10 throwing... so his throwing kicked in at 2000 or late 1999, but he still had a hell of a lot of errors in 1999...
I didn't realize that many were throwing. And then you don't know how many errors Teixeira saved him.
It looks like Tex is capable so far this year in being amongst league leaders in Fldg Pctg. for 1st basemen......; and/or THE Gold Glove...... I'd love to see Him win another GG, especially this year.....! It would be a nice touch; or highlight for the Team itself....as- - having a Multiple Gold Glove Infielder, can enable a team; of other players to strive for the same perfection; intensity and focus, to play while slowing time down to almost slow motion in a players head.....but ya'll know that..... Jerry Rice said those athletes who excel, always are the ones who time slows down for, and everything seems like its in slow motion....a few other great athletes have said the same..... No doubt, Tex has that intense focus on the field, as a defensive position player, and I hope He can do the same and bring his .259 B'Avg up 20 points, he'd be a bit over his Lifetime Batting Avg.....and his B'avg has been rising slowly, but surely...
