First, the good news: Chipper Jones is back in the starting lineup after missing one game following a sore groin. Expect Chipper to continue to rake as long as he is healthy. That being said, expect him to have a few more instances of these muscle strains throughout the rest of the season.

Now DH’ing...our own Chris Dial. Chipper Jones is a great third baseman. He’s always been a top tier hitter and a solid fielder. While Chipper’s prowess with the bat is never questioned, his rank among great third basemen has. The problem is traditional metrics have shown Chipper to be a poor fielder. His Range Factor (Assists plus putouts per game) has routinely been below league norms. In ...Brought to You by the Letter W
