Why Kris Bryant may not be the defender we think he is

from Cubs Talk Podcast · host Chicago Sports Network

By all accounts, Kris Bryant seemed to be one of the best defending 3rd basemen in the league, but could we be wrong? To discuss this, David Kaplan is joined by NBCS Chicago's number cruncher Chris Kamka, and Mark Simon of Sports Info Solutions to discuss how to measure the defensive play in baseball. And don't worry, Javy Baez is still the best shortstop in baseball. (1:45) - Why were the Cubs so bad at defense last season (7:20) - Should the defensive metrics change along with the game (12:55) - What does defensive runs saved (DSR) mean? (17:40) - Is Kris Bryant a good or bad defender? (23:35) - Does the eye test still tell you what a baseball player is (29:55) - Where can fans keep up with DSR during the season?
