Agree for sure on Freddie. As for Mookie at SS, while he's made a few errors, he's also made some pretty nice plays there. I'd say that 3 errors in 16 games is too small of a sample size to judge, just as I'd say that 0 errors there would be too small. Regardless, I think the point is that out of (what was then but is no longer) a necessity, he stepped in and played SS semi-adequately, and certainly better than any other All-Star RF could have. And is doing very good as the parttime 2B.
