The best defenders (according to UZR) of the decade

By , 04:30 AM

Rob Neyer asked me to send him a list of the best fielders of the decade, according to the UZR numbers. I thought I would share them with you guys. I don’t think Rob is going to publish the data (I am not trying to scoop him with my own data) - I think he just wanted to compare the list with the players he thinks are the best.

Anyway, here are the top 5 players at each position who saved the most total runs in 2000-2009. The numbers include arm ratings for outfielders. The columns are name, position, defensive games, total runs, runs per 150.

Edit: My previous list was all screwed up. This is the correct version. Sorry.
