3B who can't throw Topic

Had to do 4 season for kcdumb's high range/glove, weak arm guy in order to get similar innings.   He's doing just fine.

For the discussion, I think you need to take out PO because it's irrelevant.
Unless he throws it to himself for the putout. And even then, he could do that with a 1 arm strength.

PO are removed for IF.   Learn your PPPS!!!!!!

If there's a threshold that needs to be hit for a (-) to register, this may throw a wrench into Mike's DH to RF idea as well?

My "Positive Plays Per Season" formula should take care of that.    My C/RF generally fall 50 plays short of the norm.

Here's your boy over the last three seasons:

So, to me, he's only costing you 13 outs of a full 162 game, 9 inning season.    That's assuming those others are typical 3B.

Thanks, Mike.

Hentgen did lose 4 points of range and 3 points of arm strength in the offseason.  So there's that.  Shouldn't be enough for that much of a difference, though.

Also, Buss is clearly a better defender than Hentgen was.  Across the board...it's why I switched the 2 from 3B and 2B in the first place.  So it's interesting to see them playing similarly in your formula.  Maybe Hentgen overachieved last year.

This helps some.  I was kinda shocked to see all the infield singles to 3B.  I'm going to be paying more attention the rest of the year, maybe I'll end up changing something up.  And maybe look at defense a little differently moving forward.

Yeah. Looking back on that thread:



Quote post by tufft on 6/6/2012 2:36:00 PM:
Has anyone done any sort of analysis to test if ALL fielding differences are reflected in +/- plays and errors?

It seems that my pitchers have much better stats when I have a team has above average (by HBD recommendations) fielders at every position than when I don't. And that the +/- plays & errors don't come close to having enough of an impact to explain that.

I suspect that much of the impact of fielding is not shown in the box score or play-by-play.  Which means balls are caught or drop in for hits based on fielding and there is no way for us to know if any particular play had anything to do with fielding ratings.

Before I buy into the Rock In RF Theory, I'd want to see a lot of data that includes putouts, assists, and how many times a runner went 1st-3rd or scored from 2nd on balls hit to RF.   Not that I'm going to gather the data. But it would be cool if someone did. And shared it with me.  And nobody else.




tufft raised the issue, but I think someone confused this with overlapping ranges, so it got sidetracked without really being addressed

9/17/2013 2:31 PM
I addressed it, but I only shared it with Tufft and nobody else.
9/17/2013 3:19 PM
Well that's not nice.

It's the difference between one assist every 3-3.5 innings for at or above recs (not much difference once you hit them) or one assist every 4 ish innings when you have a guy with 2b recs.
In other words, you are giving up a free hit every 1 to 1 1/2 games.

Intuitively, this seems right, but if you look at the stats this doesn't play out.
Find a team that platoons these guys - if this is the case, the range factor would be considerably lower for these low arm strength guys.
It doesn't work out like that.
