Also, Middlebrooks is terrible. Not because of this bad luck play obviously. But I'm continuously surprised by how many balls he fails to get to that many other third basemen would. Oh, and the .271 OBP doesn't help his cause much.
We won't quite though if AA (or his replacement) knows he needs to start slowy dealing away guys like Reyes, Bautista and Buerhle after or during the 2014/2015 seasons.
