Robinson Cano's Defensive WAR?

Hi everyone,

I'm an avid reader of LL but I don't frequently comment or post. But I just have a question regarding Cano's DWAR numbers. From what I saw on ESPN, he's rated as having a -0.3 DWAR at the moment. I know DWAR accounts for UZR and other sabr stats, but just based on what I've seen, Robbie plays pretty darn good defense at 2B. Maybe I'm missing something, but can someone please explain why he rates this low? I'm trying to understand sabremetrics a little better so any info would be appreciated. Go M's!
