The post says Durbin played primarily second and short.

Yeah that's a weird obvious typo. @Matthew Lenz?

None of those stats are Durbin's either so not sure who the player is.

Players with +5 OAA at 2B in 2025...
Tommy Edman, Ernie Clement, Max Schuemann, Daniel Schneemann
(are those last two even real dudes?)

Players with 22 SB in 2025...
Cedric Mullins, Lawrence Butler, David Hamilton, Wyatt Langford

Looks like the stats cited in the article do not belong to any 2025 player.

I saw the 785 OPS and thought... Wow, he did a lot better than I remembered! Oh, it was 721...

Durbin appeared in 105 games

136, but who’s counting?

Not the author of this article, apparently. Gonna guess AI contributed heavily to this.

I added a spoiler just in case people have no interest in considering AI's impact on BrewerFanatic.

Spoiler

I hope that those in power at the lower-levels of the internet (i.e. where the vast majority of employers, consumers, and citizens reside), understand that while AI errors are mostly innocuous when talking about baseball, those errors have a much greater effect on those seeing those errors. It (A) breeds distrust in AI/information, and/or (B), convinces an unwitting public that AI proficiency is so far away that there is nothing to be concerned about its rapid development.

Big Tech has no interest in policing itself, and governments struggle to react and enforce in an appropriate timeframe to make an impact at securing the internet. I realize adding a button to "flag" material as AI-inspired/AI-originated on a baseball fansite seems like overkill, or that it could backfire, but at this point in time, AI is inherently "falsely" generated. Making sveumrules do all of our fact-checking seems unfair. Putting in a "flag-button" might at least help others dig in, and do some fact-checking to help dig out of this pile of slop.

edit to add... I don't think a single baseball-related AI response I've seen this season has been correct, aside from the most basic information (which is simply statistical good fortune on AI's part).
