That his error rate, in 133 games (one short season) should cause concern, I can understand.
We're referring to the consensus (elsewhere) that this guy was a lost cause, that putting him at 3B was a bad joke.  Those reports, and the guy I watched at 3B the last two days, come from different universes.
.........
Over the course of only 133 games, I'm not going to compare 90% to 92% to 94%.  That's just the first few games of his career, and players evolve.
Ramirez had 413 games at 3B in the minors, with a fielding % of .900 - then went to the majors and bam, it's .950.

Catricala could turn out not to be a 3B, but this stuff about his being a joke, that there's no point in giving him a chance, that was way off the mark.  As Zduriencik and Wedge fortunately realized.
