Looking at the season stats, Kuhn has committed 18 errors, and Reida 12 this season. That is 30 errors thru 36 games from our left side of the infield, 3b and ss. That is atrocious fielding in a league as tough as the SEC.Originally posted by Gabewcat:
The facts are that we have no third basemen, Why does Henderson continue to play Kuhn at third. He should be at DH.
Reida is the other hole on this team. Does not field in the clutch, I can count about 4 games lost in the late innings due to miscues at third or shortstop. This team will not win half their SEC games because they just can't stand prosperity and continuely cough up games to inferior teams.

I observed the same thing when I got the chance to watch them at ODU earlier this year. And I posted my thoughts on here FWIW. Two years ago when we had that awesome season it was due a lot to the fact that our combination up the middle had great range and took so many hits away. Not so this year.
Reida has never really impressed me at short. He seems more like a second baseman to me. He has a decent arm, but he really has to put a lot of effort into his throw to get it across the diamond.Originally posted by jhammons:
