Well a certian writer seems to think that the Angels have "exceptional defense".
While the Angeles have a couple exceptional defensive players: Molina's and Erstad, on a whole thier defense is average at best.
Evidence:
1. Baseball Prospectus Defensive Efficeny stats have them better than 18 teams. (good not excpetional)
2.OF Assists---Dead last in the AL West.
3. 2 most important defensive positions: CF and SS. Cabrera ranks 11 of 25 in Elias' Zone Rating and CF Finley ranks 20 of 21 qualified.
The Angeles defense is solid, but exceptional I think not.
