The point is

There are outfielders whose defense is bad enough it hurts the team. Fred Lewis, for his foibles, is not one of those outfielders.

I think when you drop popups that has a worse effect on the team than not getting to a ball. Does that also factor in the awful angles he takes to balls?

I’m not saying range is irrelevant but clearly he’s in his own head this year. I just want Nate to get a chance. What is the problem with that?
