Pinto’s PMR

The Yankees led the league with making 62 more plays than expected, given their context of pitchers and park and whatever else David includes.  According to The Fans, that was probably the result of their 1B, 3B, and CF fielding, and not having a big hole anywhere else.  It’s easy to see how you can be +20 plays at three positions, and overall average in the other 5 (or 6), and end up with the best fielding team in the league.  It’s alot easier to believe the Cubs according to The Fans.

I look forward to one of you hardworkers out there to summarize the team-level fielding of PMR, Plus/Minus, UZR, Hardball Times, STATS ZR, BIS ZR, and The Fans.
