Crede's defense nothing to worry about

Joe Crede made a handful of standout defensive plays against the Indians Tuesday night.
There's really no news there, considering Crede has long been one of the best third basemen in baseball.
It's shocking that Crede has committed 16 errors so far _ 2 more than he's ever made in a full season _ but there is no need to panic, Sox fans.
"I think Crede can make 100 errors,'' manager Ozzie Guillen said. "He could make 20 errors, but he's going to save 100 runs.''
The high error count means Crede is highly unlikely to win a Gold Glove this season. Big deal, Guillen said.
"Crede is the best (defensive) third baseman in the American League,'' Guillen said. "I don't care what people say.''
