Dyson had an FRAA of 9.0 last year according to Baseball Prospectus. His defense is pretty damn good.

Fever - He should get a pretty good round of applause.

Philly fans - ......

Well **** me. It always seems he takes the weirdest jumps towards balls and miss plays the deep ones more consistently than our other outfielders. Could be wrong though?

His speed definitely makes up for some shaky reads, but he had a good D rep in the minors and when he first came up. The beginning of last year he was bad, which was mysteriously out of character, but by the end of the season I think he was a plus OF defensively. Not GG caliber, but good.

Holland needs to produce or be gone. There is no time for coddling the psyche to the point of losing when it didn't need to take place ESPECIALLY for a very weak ego team that needs all the confidence early on it can get. The Royals don't have that 'winner's moxy' ego yet to afford and endure 1 player pissing it all away just for the sake of learning what he needs to work on ? Seriously ??

Yost is not reading the psychological context of his team correctly here and 'thinks' he has the team ego that can afford to go 1-4. WRONG !!!

Dyson is better than Frenchy at baserunning batting and defense. Frenchy is just good because he has a strong arm.
