The Oakland A’s are going to finish in last place this season. As they play out the string for the rest of September it’s important for us to find little things to enjoy, because there won’t be a lot of wins. At the top of that list of positives is Matt Chapman’s defense, which is already as good as any you’ll find in the league.
We covered this topic once already in late July, and over at FanGraphs Dave Cameron is similarly impressed. Over the ensuing six weeks since my last post, I’ve been saving highlights of great plays he’s made when I see them on Twitter, so that I’ll have them handy if I want them later.
