Is Aoki really so bad on defense? He had two errors all season. Dyson had 4. It's a harder position, but it's not like Dyson's a Gold Glover.
Aoki is much better at the plate than Dyson. He may be hitting .206, but he's obvisouly a better hitter overall, and Dyson is 0-7 in the playoffs. Alex Gordon's hitting about .170 in the playoffs. We're not going to be benching him. Aoki's not at Dyson's level stealing bases, but he's not slow either. He had 17 SBs.
