He had a .944 fld % last season in the minors. Olt's was .929


Derek Jeter's career fielding % was .976

Ozzie Smith's was .978

Fielding % is just one stat, and unfortunately I can't give you others due to SSS, but the consensus is that Olt is the better defender at 3rd.

But that doesn't really matter anyways. He needs to get time in 3rd & now LF.




ETA: I'd still be cool with him at 3rd. His offensive stats would surpass his defensive shortcomings.

And he won 5 Gold Gloves on that stat. Right or wrong, it's a prevelant defensive measurement in the game. If the MLBPA has to argue that Olt/LaStalla are better defensive options at 3B, the first number they are turning to is Olt's FLD % and the fact that LaStalla hasnt played an inning at 3B. That's all I was getting at.

Olt is also the only other 1B on the roster outside of Rizzo. That could come in to play if a grievance is filed.
