<t>Honestly, Bell didn't have a good season last year. He put up an OPS+ of 108. It wasn't terrible, but it's not what you're wanting from your poor fielding first baseman either.

<t>I thought I would point out that, as of today, every starter other than Dickerson is putting up negative defensive runs saved under BIS measurements (used by Baseball Reference).

<t>There are a number of things I agree with in your post, but the problem with the post and, I suspect, about 94% of the posts that will follow is that Polanco wasn't hurting the team until about a week ago.
