Another concern is his defensive range, I'd know that there are stats that measure range and at some point I'll get around to looking them up, but to my eye he's not getting to as many balls as he used to.  Once he catches the ball he's as spectacular as ever in turning and throwing to first, but there are too many balls getting by up the line.

Ryan is currently 5th among NL 3B as far as range per game.

He's also 4th in fielding percentage at his position.
