re: Official Cubs Playoff Discussion Thread---NOT GAME THREAD convo only

Of anybody who played even one inning at second base in the big leagues in 2016, Baez was responsible for 11 Defensive Runs Saved, tied for third and just one run behind Boston's Dustin Pedroia and Detroit's Ian Kinsler.

Here's the thing, though: Baez only played 383 innings at second in the regular season. Pedroia and Kinsler both played more than 1,292 innings. If you extrapolate out Baez's Defensive Runs Saved to 1,292 innings, he would've been at more than 37 DRS. That's insane.

For good measure, Baez also saved one run while playing 370.2 innings at third base and four runs while appearing at 194 innings at shortstop.
