It helps your pitching staff so much when you can catch the ball, especially when you can catch the ball in the middle of the diamond. The Rays have a duo that does a pretty solid job in that area with Shortstop J.J. Hardy and Second baseman Ben Zobrist. J.J.'s fielding percentage placed him second in the league at the Shortstop position, committing just six errors on the season. Meanwhile, Ben Zobrist matched that error total while covering a lot of ground at second base. Together the duo combined for 50 home runs in 2011, so the Rays feel comfortable with that foundation backing up the pitching staff.
