Hak-Ju Lee and Starlin Castro are both SS, correct? It's a shame that Lee is so error-prone: I had heard that he was a plus fielder, but I guess that observation was based entirely on his arm (which is supposed to be a Dunston-like cannon).

I've recently heard explanations on why players in the minors, especially the lower levels, tend to make lots of errors. In many cases, they are correcting some sort of flaw in their mechanics and it hasn't become clockwork to field correctly. Also, I've heard the fields in the lower levels are complete shit and fielders have to deal with terrible bounces all the time.
From what I know, you put almost no stock into errors in the lower minors.
