GDT 5/14 Cubs Hosting Braves 2:20 EST

AA is right to like having a back-up at short that is a plus defender at short and probably other positions too. Plus before today he had been hitting a lot better.

Problem is that Culberson isn't a plus defender. He's light hitting which makes people think he's got a great glove. Hes looked very average defensively.

Culberson has a track record of plus defense at short. He is no Simmons, not even close. But he is very good, esp. if you watch him play regularly.

Culberson has a 7 DRS, 0.1 1.7 0.8 2.6 15.2 in 241.2 innings at short.
