If ever a player was fortunate, it is unlucky Chucky. The guy loses his mental faculties, specifically, in the ability to get the ball out of his glove to his throwing hand, and then to project the ball to the fielder at the target base. It is purely a mental thing - the guy was a Gold Glove second baseman for years. But he suffers from that brainfart, the malady that strikes some players. Steve Sax went through this as a Dodger.
Some pitchers lose the ability to find the strike zone.
This is Chucky's lot, since last year. Seems he came up as a shortstop, but when Minnesota was ready to bring him to the majors, he saw limited action there, as they moved him over to second base. Last year's starting left fielder for the Yankees, Shane Spencer, suffered a severe knee injury halfway into the season. He may join the team after the season starts, but it is really hit and miss with him. Last year in the Spring Soriano showed hands of concrete.
