CLEVELAND -- While rookie Miguel Andujar's bat has proven potent and his defense often looks adequate enough, that might not be the whole story for the Yankees' third baseman.
His glove actually rates among the worst in the league, according to various advanced defensive metrics.
Fangraphs' defensive stat ranks him 21st in the league out of qualified third baseman -- or dead last. Same when it comes to UZR, or ultimate zone rating, which Fangraphs says tries to "quantify how many runs a player saved or gave up" defensively.
Manager Aaron Boone said he hadn't seen the defensive metrics in comparison to the rest of the league and that the Yankees use their own evaluating tools.
