Comments on: White Sox Season in Review: Adam Engel http://southside.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2018/10/11/white-sox-season-in-review-adam-engel/ Just another Baseball Prospectus Local Sites site Wed, 05 Dec 2018 22:40:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1 By: Nick Schaefer http://southside.locals.baseballprospectus.com/2018/10/11/white-sox-season-in-review-adam-engel/#comment-12528 Mon, 15 Oct 2018 20:03:27 +0000 http://southside.locals.baseballprospectus.com/?p=17066#comment-12528 First, the article does mention his defense.

Second, Defensive metrics are notoriously unreliable. By DRS, Manny Machado was one of the worst shortstops of all time with Baltimore this year…until he was traded to the Dodgers and became an above average shortstop.

By FRAA this year, the following CFs were ahead of Engel:
-Leonys Martin
-Kevin Kiermaier
-Harrison Bader
-Delino DeShields

It’s good to be 5th in the majors in this statistic, you’re probably doing something right, but let’s not act like he’s Eric Davis or Andruw Jones all of a sudden.

His Outs Above Average in the AL for 2016 – 2018 was 1st, 2nd and 1st; and his OOA in all of MLB was 3rd, 3rd and 4th.
