    Is SS play up across the league? 1.2 fWAR still seems pretty good at this time of the year. I certainly wouldn't think there would be 18 SS with at least 1.2 fWAR before the end of June.

    The pen has not been as bad in the past month or so. But a good deal of that "improvement" is luck. I'm confident the front office will understand there is still a need for an upgrade or two.

    The short answer is yes. But Swanson actually ranks 16th among all SS. The 18 ranking is for the Braves as a whole at the position.

    Teams getting more fWAR than us at SS in descending order: Twins, Padres, Red Sox, Cardinals, A's, Cubs, Rockies, Royals, Rangers, Dodgers, Yankees, Astros, White Sox, Phillies, Tigers, Dbacks, Angels.

    Can't get actual numbers but he's 20th in defense rating among SS since the 1st.

    It is almost entirely Dansby.

    Right. But that's not the case for other teams. Not that it really matters.

    Who knew moving Newk and Touki to the BP would help that unit tremendously?

    Oh wait...
