Hey Jeter, I’ve got your back!

By Tangotiger, 04:19 PM

How various SS do compared to their teammates over various years.

Note that I did not weight on a year-by-year basis, so the teammates of Jeter were mostly from one season (Wilson, Amonte).

Everett is a huge standout here, with 0.33 more assists per game (that’s 50 more assists per 150 games!).  Jeter is fairly ordinary.

“G” is innings divided by 9.  The little “g” means it’s “per game”.  So, Everett has 3.11 assists per game.

first	last	player	G	gPO	gA	gE	gDP

2000 2006 Jeter 999 1.58 2.56 0.11 0.54
2000 2006 mate 124 1.67 2.60 0.21 0.54

2002 2006 Everett 520 1.52 3.11 0.10 0.67
2002 2006 mate 286 1.36 2.78 0.13 0.53

2005 2006 Vizquel 286 1.53 2.85 0.04 0.58
2005 2006 mate 33 1.76 3.00 0.18 0.61

UPDATE #1
2000 2006 Erstad 388 3.06 0.06 0.01 0.02
2000 2006 mate 738 2.71 0.05 0.04 0.02

That's +0.35 putouts per game. (Includes years where he didn't play CF)

2001 2006 Suzuki 869 2.30 0.07 0.01 0.01
2001 2006 mate 96 1.69 0.05 0.05 0.02

Yeesh… what kind of dead weights plays in RF in Seattle when Ichiro isn't there?
That's +0.61 putouts per game for him.

And this is CF:

2006 2006 Suzuki 38 3.00 0.03 0.03 0.00
2006 2006 mate 123 2.56 0.10 0.04 0.01
2004 2005 mate 321 2.93 0.05 0.03 0.01

UPDATE #2:

2000 2004 mate 183 2.51 0.03 0.03 0.02

Bernie really dropped here.

2001 2006 Junior 459 2.32 0.05 0.03 0.01
2001 2006 mate 504 2.84 0.08 0.04 0.01

Yowza, Junior. 0.52 less putouts per game than his backups.
Yeesh, is that the worst possible ever?
