Colin gives us his fielding system.  One thing I’d like to see is to have this data (plus the OF and C ones) normalized so that the plays made adds up to the total number of outs made:

1B:
.85*A + .08*PO
2B:
.85*A
SS:
.85*A
3B:
.90*A+.06*PO

That is, perhaps some team should have .86 or .83, etc.

If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
