How good are the Fans in evaluating fielding?

By Tangotiger

Rally takes a look at his TotalZone forecast and the Fans’ Scouting Report, and compares to DER, and they both perform roughly the same.

Also don’t forget that Justin showed that the correlation between the Fans, UZR, and Pinto’s PMR are all very similar. There really ought to not be any more question as to how reliable the Fans are. They are as reliable as anything else out there.
