No, because it's meaningless. That's like us saying that Ortiz and Manny can't field or run for shit. It's not their game. Jeter has never been touted as an excellent fielder. His Gold Glove was a joke. So what? Only morons and idiots care that Ortiz is just a DH and Manny doesn't steal 50 bases a season. It's no different. Wakefield only throws 5 mph. Who cares as long as he wins?

The point is, I watch a lot of games at the Stadium, and I'll take the one extra hit that MIGHT have been stopped and thrown out by a Gold Glove caliber every week to two weeks as long as he hits the way he does. Would you rather have Coco Crisp in left or Manny? Both in the field and at the plate. Silly argument.
