Congrats to the ALC two-timer Nativists. I know it may seem Erie. 

A full season (next year) of what we've seen since June for Anderson would make him a top 5 defensive shortstop in baseball.

But still a poor hitter.

Tim Anderson is a 2.8 war, 2.4 fWAR shortstop,  today.

Seems pretty clear he has improved and will likely finish with 20 HR.

His numbers have gradually gotten worse during the year though. He had a .781 OPS on June 1, since then he's put up a .664 OPS, and it's not obviously bad luck over that stretch (.309 BABIP since June 1 is entirely reasonable). He had 11 HR the first 2 months and 8 in the last 3.5 months. He's going the wrong way.

Will be one of 4 or 5 guys in baseball who finish with 25 SB, 20 HR, and 30 doubles. People keep forgetting that he was EXTREMELY raw, yet he continues to gain confidence year after year & his defense has been tremendous.

Atta boy Lopez!!

Reynaldo has been absolutely pitching his ass off.

I think he is showing a lot of promise 

Great game for Reynaldo!

That Lopez kid is pretty good 

FWIW, Anderson somewhat recently emerged from a rather deep slump and is now hitting pretty much like his typical self...which isn't great, but is good enough for someone playing shortstop and doing it quite well defensively.

In plain English what does that mean?

That he's a tiny bit above league average as a shortstop this year.

Avi HR # 18 Solo shot

Avi Garcia with a blast. A little breathing room 

Minaya gets an out from a liner and gives up a hit on a liner. Let’s hope he can get out of this without giving up s liner out of the park 

Juan Minaya does it again.  Now we're within range of losing it all despite an insurance run from Avi.

A. Harp fly ball out and then the walk. Two on and two out 

Minaya making it interesting 2 on 2out winning run at the plate
