Joe Maddon thinks David Fletcher is great, but shouldn’t be throwing others under the bus about it
David Fletcher is a nice, solid ballplayer. Since debuting with the Angels in 2018, he’s played all over the field and been above-average defensively wherever he goes, while posting a .292/.346/.386 line with 10 homers and 13 steals in 283 games....
