From the BFan interview with Kevin Goldstein earlier this year: BF: Okay, last guy—holding out any hope for Cutter Dykstra? KG: Zero. Easily the most disappointing guy on the team. Just horrible at third base with both mental and physical errors, bad footwork, not much of a hitter, and he's not a runner anymore, that's the real concern. Scout had him at 4.25 [seconds] to first base last night, and he was booking it trying to beat out a ground ball. So max effort and he's average. I just don't see anything there, and I can't find a scout who does either. So he's either hurt, lost a step, or was dogging it.
