Playing SS is one of the hardest things to do in all of sports.

I’m not denying that, but I’m comparing him to other SS, not some 1B that isn’t expected to be good defensively. Braswell has made a bunch of errors this year and he doesn’t have the physical tools to make up for it like Thompson did. Even when Thompson was making errors, every once in a while he would make a great play that would somewhat make up for it. Braswell doesn’t get that because he doesn’t have the physical abilities to make those plays.

I’m not calling for him to be benched, but I think this year up to this point he has been pretty bad defensively relative to other shortstops. Hopefully he improves.

Braswell is getting to more balls on average than Thompson did either of the last two seasons.

I’m not really worried about flash. Tho there are several plays Braswell makes look easy that a casual fan may take due granted, esp charging the ball & turning DPs.
