I believe him and renteria have same number of errors right now. Eckstein had best fielding percentage in the league last year. Eckstein will and has cost them a couple games already but hardly anything to concern me

royalfan said:I have seen his arm many many times and you are lying to yourself if you honestly believe that. What you might mean, is that it hasn't cost them yet which I cannot comment on really as I haven't watched more than a dozen cardinal games.
viking611 said:what i mean is exactly what i said, that his arm is not a problem one bit and will not cost them any games either...never cost the angels as well. I'm actually quite suprised by his arm strength...everybody wants to say he bounces every ball to 1st base ...i have been disappointed with his errors but definitely not his arm strength.

royalfan said:Again the fielding percentage is vastly overrated. Eckstein doesn't play near as many balls as the Wizard of Oz. Name one shortstop in the majors that Eckstein has a better arm than.
Yeah, that is what I thought.
