Ozuna may project as the worst defender in the game based on what we saw of him last year. Remember the mess he made of the inning that Soroka got hurt in? If we had had a 162 game season with no DH like we were planning on when we signed him I think we could have seen some historically bad defensive metrics from him. We knew the shoulder was bad but it went far beyond that. The bat was so good that he still would have been valuable but having to put him in the outfield for 150 games would certainly take him out of play for a lot of NL teams I imagine.

Yeah, his defense was shite, but LF defensive metrics don't matter as much, especially when he was putting up that kind of production at the plate.

If you're going to shite on what he would've done in the field over a 162 game season, then you can't cherry pick. You have to acknowledge that he was on pace for a 50+ hr, 100+ RBI season as well.

I think most would gladly make that trade for his deficiencies in the field.
