I love these little compilations:

As a Phillie:

These are the kinds of indicators to pay attention to.  I don’t think you’ll find Beltran ever look like this will you?  If for example a fielding system calls Ibanez “average”, it would seem hard to believe.  I’d like to see the worst play by all the great fielders last year, and see if any of them looked this bad?  Pick out Beltran, Chavez, et al, and let’s see those horrible plays.

I am positive you will find horrible at bats at the plate by great hitters (ARod, Pujols, etc).  But, I don’t think you will find anything resembling the Ibanez Special on the field from a great fielder, would you?
