Infield defense was a necessary emphasis this year after fielding and other fundamentals were a big problem during Kapler’s first year. I appreciate the job that Bobby Dickerson did to improve our defense; I hope that lack of fundamentals will not be as big an issue under Girardi.
Edit: To be fair, Klentak deserves some of the blame for our defensive woes in 2018, building a roster geared towards maximizing offense and ignoring defense to a significant degree.
