Uggla struck Martina McBride out three times and committed

Uggla struck expresses Martina McBride out three martina mcbridge shows times and committed three errors in the 4-3 National League loss.Uggla hasn’t been the same since that night.Since that night, Uggla has hit only .235 with a .774 OPS. I don’t think we can attribute all of Uggla’s struggles to that fateful night in the Bronx, but I don’t think it is just a coincidence either.Uggla was embarrassed on a national stage, and you never know how that will affect someone in the long-term.Not only has Uggla dipped offensively since that night, but Uggla is a terrible defensive second baseman. Uggla consistently ranks towards the bottom amongst all second baseman in fielding.2009 was no exception.In 2009, Uggla made 16 errors, which was the second most by second baseman and had a -10.1 UZR. His -10.1 UZR ranked him second to last amongst second baseman, only ahead of Luis Castillo.Uggla will probably have to move to third base, first base, or even DH However, Uggla and his agent don’t see it that way. Here is what Uggla’s agent told Yahoo! Sports:“Danny Uggla’s been a full-time second baseman for the last four years,” agent Jeff Borris said.

“He’s performed exceptionally well at that position martina mcbride album . Although he has the athleticism to play other positions, he’s performed remarkably over these four years at second base and there should be no reason to consider a position change at this time.”Uggla’s resistance to changing positions could be ahindrance for the Marlins in trading Uggla.The last con with Uggla, is perhaps his contract martina macbride . Uggla made $5.3 million in 2009 and has two more arbitration eligible years ahead of him.Are teams going to pay $9 million-$10 million in arbitration to a defensively challenged second baseman?Now that we have looked at the pros and cons of Uggla, let’s look at what teams might be interested in the former University of Memphis Tiger martina . Atlanta Braves: Normally teams don’t trade within the division, but I don’t think that matters to the Marlins martinamcbride . The Braves need a right-handed bat, and if the Adam LaRoche doesn’t re-sign with the Braves to first base, Uggla could be an option.

Los Angeles Dodgers: Orlando Hudson and Ronnie Belliard are free agents for the Dodgers, so therefore, they have a need at second base.Though, if they are going to go the Uggla route, they should just re-sign Hudson . Uggla and Hudson were of equal value in 2009 according to Fangraphs, and Hudson wouldn’t cost the Dodgers any players my valentine martina . San Francisco Giants: The Giants just re-signed Freddie Sanchez to play second base, but the Giants could look at Uggla as a first baseman Oakland A’s martina anyway . Though GM Billy Beane has tried to build a more athletic A’s team recently, Uggla is a classic “Moneyball” type player—low average, high OBP, can’t play defense.Uggla would be a nice DH option for the A’s . Seattle Mariners: The Mariners need a third baseman and a DH. If Uggla is willing to shift over to third, he could be a good fit in Seattle. Texas Rangers: The Rangers are a little bit of a stretch, but Uggla could serve as the Rangers’ DH and insurance at second when Ian Kinsler makes his annual trip to the DL in 2010.You can follow The Ghost of Moonlight Graham on Twitter theghostofmlg This article is also featured on The Ghost of Moonlight Graham.
