At Least Michael Cuddyer isn't Hunter Pence

We always nag on how bad a fielder Michael Cuddyer is in our estimation. Granted some of this is limited to first and second base, but people have been complaining about his outfield play as well. Granted this isn't a Twins highlight, but Jason Bay has suffered similar ailments as Justin Morneau (Concussion) and Delmon Young (bruised ribs). What happened is that Bay scored on a four base error when Hunter Pence dropped an easy fly ball and let it roll to the warning track.

That was pretty aweful

Not the catch as much as the hustle he showed getting after the ball.
If you are going to lose the ball like that, I expect a full-out sprint!

Would that he were. Hunter Pence has been worth 3-4 WAR each of the past 4 seasons.

He’s been worth a total of 30 runs above average in the field, including 5 runs this year, that play notwithstanding. He’s much better at baseball than Michael Cuddyer is at this point.
