SnakePit Round Table: Defense

Related Topics: Lourdes Gurriel Jr.

General topic this week: defense. The D-backs were nominated for five Gold Gloves. Any surprises? How many do you think will be won? Did you think our defense was worse this year? Who improved or declined? Who are the best and worst fielders in team history?

Preston: Regarding this year, I was a bit surprised to see Gurriel nominated. While his outfield defense has shown substantial improvement over last year, he still looked like he was lost sometimes. But the results were good, and he has the athletic ability to make catches even when getting himself into a difficult position.
