WARNING STAT HEAD THREAD
For those interested in the discussion and analysis of defense and how it can be measured:
Baseball Primer has started its series on Ulitmate Zone Ratings (UZR).
I think, however flawed it may be, that this is the best defensive metric "out on the market" right now and I'm very thankful for Mitchel to show the in's and out's of it.
Since this isn't really a DBacks discussion I'll make a vein attempt to tie them into it:
Tony Womack was rated the worst defensive SS in the NL costing us around 22(!) runs more than a league average SS. The 2nd worst SS was Alex Gonzalez of CHN who cost his team 10 runs more than a league average SS.
