You gotta take the good with the bad with Javy, and he makes routine errors sometimes, but his ability to create magic out of thin air knows few peers in today’s game. I think the better question is whether a Russell / Baez combo works better with Russell @ 2B or SS and vice versa. I know Russell’s defensive metrics have him as a top 5-7 SS, but both players make good arguments for playing there.
