His 2B position rating is a 8 (on a 20er scale, or 2/5 which in both cases means just below average). Let's take a look at his real accomplishments during the 1976 season:
He has a RF/9 of 5.41 (league average at 2B: 5.48). Just below league average. Even better: Rtot (Total Fielding Runs above average) has him as -1 for 1976, so his defense was 1 run below an average 2B player.
I don't think you can call our ratings for him bad (for the 1976 season).

don't understand what any of that means so I cannot argue the point. would love to know who you figure was better at 2b in 1976.
