These are their stories. Dum dum! Is that a picture of John Ellis or Sam Waterson?

That means he made NINETEEN errors between May 7th and July 8th, a span of 58 games. That's one error every three games. That's bad shortstopping. Of course, during part of that errorfest (May 20th to June 9th) Yuni had a 20-game hitting streak. Interesting note on Yuniesky Betancourt:
