It’s really not fair how good the Seattle Mariners’ defense is.
Mariners Will Define Defense In 2010
↵Stat guru John Dewan projects the top five defensive teams in baseball for 2010 according to runs saved. And seriously, it’s not even close:
↵↵Team ⇥ ⇥Projected Runs Saved
Mariners ⇥103
Phillies 49
Rays ⇥⇥48
Cardinals ⇥38
Astros ⇥⇥37
↵↵Dewan also projects the league’s best individual defenders, with the Nos. 1 and 2 spots going to, who else, Mariners. Centerfielder Franklin Gutierrez is projected to save 24 runs while shortstop Jack Wilson is projected to save 22 runs. Chase Utley (21), Albert Pujols (20) and Ryan Zimmerman (19) round out the top five.
↵The AL West should be frightened by the Mariners’ defensive ninja skills.
