So no, despite what some might say (looking at you here), Dye is NOT a quality rightfielder. And that vaunted great arm of his? Not true. Negative runs above average. And his range? Consistently nonexistant.

Over the last four years, Dye has averaged a -22.2 UZR/150. AWFUL.

Maybe he can still hit. Let him DH some, platoon with Nick, if need be. But this isn’t about Dye’s ability to rebound from a bad 2nd half of 2009; it’s about his inability to field an outfield position and the laughable idea that he’d bump someone out of a starting outfield spot.
