Maybe you guys should take that to PM, or challenge each other to a duel. Either way, quit bitching.Comment

Tulowitzki had a FRAA of 30 last season. Vizquel's highest ever was 27. People need to stop looking just at errors and fielding percentage and realize how many balls TT plays out of the usual shortstop zone.Comment

Again, using errors and fielding percentage is the same as saying that batting average is the best way to measure a hitter. It's just wrong.Comment

Re: Top 10 shortstops in MLB?
Well if you feel so confident in the FRAA, then explain to me why it's a better measure than a percentage of how many times a player correctly plays a ball hit to them? Cause when I look at the Baseball Prospectus site, FRAA is listed as a batting statistic (you were thinking of RAA2 I believe), and I have yet to find a decent explanation of how the hell its figured outLast edited by bjf1377; 02-11-2008, 11:43 PM.Comment

I'm not a fan of these random statistics....
That said, it's quite amazing to see just how much great SS talent we have in the league nowadays....Comment

Then again, that was two years ago so I don't know if they let that info out especially for RF or ZR... I can't remember which it was, or they've come out with more.Comment

Re: Top 10 shortstops in MLB?
You kinda do cause a lot of us have not a damn clue what the hell it measures or how it measures it. I mean I know a lot of the batting and pitching measures, but I have never heard of RAA2. Consider this your chance to make me like Tulowitzki as much as you do
(If it makes you feel any better, I do feel that RBIs and batting average are stupid measures as well, but I honestly don't know how many different way's you can measure catching and throwing a ball)Comment
