Still, nearly anyone has to be an upgrade over the players they ran out there last season... The fielding percentage is nice, but does anyone know how his range looks at this point in his career? Fielding percentage shows he gets the job done when he gets to the ball, but that's only half the story. Izturis has the "defensive specialist" tag, but I'm not sure to what degree that is still true today? Anyone know? (Plus/Minus rating, etc?)
