Victor Scott Does Not Equal Edmonds

[cardsrmyteam]

More propaganda from the Post Dispatch.

Absolute garbage to say that Winn = Ozzie and Scott = Edmonds.

Not even close, Not even if they are combined. Pure Propaganda.

Just a standard Hochman puff piece.

Absolute nonsense. Scott isn't even Curt Ford. Embarrassing headline.

Ok...are you Ok?

Actually I don't care

I assume the comparison was defensively only? If so, based on last season, it's an apt comparison.

Why are we comparing two players based on chances?

If he was that would make him one of the 5 best CFers of all time. Curt is in the 1 or 2 best category.

Is this a serious question?

So you are telling me one player is better than the other based upon the number of ground balls hit to them each season? Yes, it's a serious question.

Trevor Story led all MLB SS's in total chances in 2025? I'll assume that makes him the best defensive SS in the league according to Goldfan?

Grasshopper, Ozzie Smith had over 800 CH per season his first 6 seasons only interrupted by the strike shortened ‘81 season. To somehow write a sentence and come close to comparing Winn to Ozzie defensively takes some great balls OR perhaps one never watched Ozzie. The RANGE and talent to reach that many CH in season at SS is magical. Winn has shown neither the RANGE nor ability to stay on the field every game like Ozzie.

He said Ford, not Flood

On one hand it’s true Ozzie got to more balls because of his range but he also got more chances because it was pre launch angle craze and pre it’s okay to strike out 100 plus times a season and pre no need to choke up and try to put the ball in the play with two strikes just swing away like the count is 3-0 craze. But Ozzie was a lot better than Winn no question. Victor Scott catches up to balls that Edmonds wouldn’t get to though and he catches balls on the run Edmonds would have had to dive for
