For Better Or Worse Skip Schumaker Left To Field At Second Base

The transition from corner outfielder to second base isn't going as smooth as the Cardinals or Skip Schumaker wanted. I know this is shocking news, but after making the switch less than three months ago, Schumaker ranks amongst the worst defensive second basemen in the major leagues. His UZR of -5.1 ties Dan Uggla of the Marlins for worst in the league and his -5.6 RngR is dead last. Surprisingly, he only has one error and a .990 fielding percentage, but I'll save that stuff for Ruben Amaro Jr. to build his team off of.
