When speaking to the media on the newest Rays players and the first trade of the offseason, Erik Neander called Guillermo Heredia a “top of the line defender”. Now, obviously GMs hyping the players they acquired is a time honored tradition. But this got me thinking: is Neander right?
#Rays GM Erik Neander with some nice things to say about Guillermo Heredia. Called him a "wonderful human being" and a "top of the line defender."

Guillermo Heredia comes to the Rays as one of the auxiliary pieces of the Mike Zunino-Mallex Smith swap.
