Interestingly, here's each def value per according to fangraphs...

Simmons 7.1 in 55 game = .129 per game
Swanson 5.0 in 41 games = .122 per game

Pretty comparable. Swanson pretty damn good with the glove

The problem is that Simmons seemed to get to balls that Dansby can't touch and Simmons appeared to have a much stronger arm. As an example, when was the last time Dansby threw out anyone from the left field grass? My impression was that defensive metrics aren't currently as advanced as those for offense. However, I'd be happy to be wrong in undervaluing Dansby's defense as compared to Andrelton's.

Holy Folty. So far, so really good.

[msstate7]

Simmons is better. I'm not trying to say that. Swanson is pretty damn good though

Andrelton isn't the same this year as when he first came up. That Simmons is among the best to ever play the position. So far this year he's just among the best in the league.

Stras ended up being better than his absurd hype

finishing off the cheap bottle of white wine I used for the Beurre blanc, eating Salmon and Scallops... watching Folty roll... good night..

that right there's a good dinner

Dansby sucks as a hitter. Just awful.

Over .700 ops. Not good, but hardly sucking. Stras is a decent pitcher

He’ll be fine.

50 Ks for Swanson.

it was really good. I over salted the asparagus/spinach blend by a bit, but nailed everything else.

Dansby's in the unenviable position of competing in our our memories with that "among the best to ever play the position" guy.

[CyYoung31]

Surprised Folty didn’t hurt himself after that display at the plate.

[bravesfanMatt]

Soroka 3ip.. 37 pitches 22 strikes.. not fair..

I was holding my breath. Some Happy Gilmore cuts.

Danny's in the unenviable position of competing in our our memories with that "among the best to ever play the position" guy.

That's why I prefer cold hard facts. **** feelings and memories. :)

Wow folty wow

[thewupk]

nats are all pulling an ender

[nsacpi]

Folty has thrown a lot of off-speed pitches for the first strike. I think its kept them off his fastball.

[Freshmaker]

6 pitch inning...very nice! Folty getting a CG win tonight
