inefficiency experts
after 10 games, the cardinals stand dead last in the national league in defensive efficiency rating.
small sample size, yes, but let me repeat: they’re dead last. behind the fossilized giants, the talentless rockies (who have coors to contend with), the patchwork d-backs. on a team this old, lately shorn of two gold gloves, that’s real cause for concern.
on t’other hand . . . david eckstein thru 10 games has been flawless in the field, with no errors and a 5.34 range factor/9. again, small sample size — but the early returns do not suggest he is the gaping hole some commentators (espec’ly your humble correspondent) feared he might be.
also to the good: cards have yielded just 6 hr so far. but to the bad: only 11 doubles, and only 27 extra-base hits overall, next to last in the league. that makes a nice balance with the team's league-worst 27 walks . . . . . .
