This seems like a strange result to me, RchW. I would think that any player with the ability to play 2B professionally would handle himself better than that at SS. I know short is considered the more demanding position, but I bet if you asked 20 major league second basemen if they'd ever played some shortstop, they'd tell you they had, possibly even as recently in college or in the low minors. Wouldn't you think a 2B would handle better than 9 of 10 chances cleanly at SS?
Of course, if the guy fielded .910 at second, then I retract my statement.
