quote:
Derek Jeter's career fielding % was .976
Ozzie Smith's was .978
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.

i see what you're saying, but the day an arbitrator starts siding with the MLBPA about what a team should do with it's players in roster construction will will be the day baseball ends. That is to say it'll never happen.
Also i don't have any stats to back it up, but i'm pretty confident in saying, defensively, Olt is the better 3b.
And until bryant is placed on the 40 man the MLBPA doesn't even have jurisdiction over him...I don't know what standing rules apply in MLB arbitration cases, but it sure feels like any grievance filed by the MLBPA is just lip service complaining about a CBA they agreed to and would ultimately fail spectacularly.

Derek Jeter grenade successful 
Anyways, The argument will not be if Olt is a better defender. They will have no argument because Bryant:
1. Is not on the 40 man roster
2. Has less than 300 AB's in MILB
3. Needs to get more reps at 3rd due to his shoulder ailment
4. Needs to see time in LF because he will be playing there eventually
5. He has no triples
