Defensive Rankings by Position- American League

The following data represent the defensive rankings for the American League players by position, with a minimum of 200 innings played. RSpt is Runs Saved for the playing time of the player above average for that much playing time. RS/150 is how many runs that would be in 150 games played. This is explained in the methodology here.

For outfielders, there is presently no added bonus for throwing runners out. At this point in the season, there are very few outside of +/- 1.1 runs. Most are less than that. The exceptions are: Melky Cabrera (+1.4) and Frank Catalanotto (+1.3).

These are runs above average, which means you can add them to offensive runs above average to get total value.

Ya gotta figure Hendry traded Corey Patterson right when his trade value was at its peak...

Smart move, ghost-buster. Now go and get another reliever.

4. Trevor Crowe T. Robot (Dan Lee) Posted: July 12, 2006 at 01:59 AM (#2096505)

Funny that Jhonny Peralta, who most Indians fans are just convinced is a horrible defensive shortstop, is the third-best defensive player on the team according to this system.

I've always thought he was halfway decent, and it appears the numbers back me up.

5. Slide-Piece Posted: July 12, 2006 at 02:31 AM (#2096515)

It's funny how the rankings mostly conform to expectations...and then you see something like Russ Adams rated higher than Yuniesky Betancourt at shortstop.

6. Mike Green Posted: July 12, 2006 at 09:48 AM (#2096670)

The Adams numbers are a bit unusual. He's +2 per 150 games at short, and -42 per 150 games at second base. Subjectively, he has looked a lot better at second where his lack of arm strength has been less of an issue. BP has him at 94 at short and 100 at second, for what that's worth.

He's only been at second for 22 games, so we'll have a better handle on this at the end of the year.

While Betancourt has a rep as a defensive whiz, his UZR this year and last are negative. You never know. A guy can look real flashy, but for whatever reason, not have great range. We'll see how his numbers play out over the next couple of years.

R. Adams has been the worst (he and M. Young) defensive SS in baseball for several years now, according to UZR. I also have him as better at SS this year than 2B, but in such a small sample, it doesn't mean anything (48 chances at 2B and 83 at SS). I haven't seen him play much over the years, but given his UZR numbers, I would think that he is a statue at any IF position. 3B may be better suited to him, although I don't know what his arm is like.

9. Kyle S Posted: July 12, 2006 at 01:36 PM (#2096927)

Looks like Alex Rios is where y'all disagree most. Why would that be? Both systems like Wells, so that's not a reason.

BTW, what do Manny's supporters think about his defense these days? Have y'all accepted that he's probably a true -25 yet?

10. PJ Martinez Posted: July 12, 2006 at 01:38 PM (#2096929)

It's funny how Mike Lowell and Alex Gonzalez (plus few errors at the positions that generally have few errors, and 2B) have convinced people in Boston that our defense is great. Coco doesn't seem to get good reads, but those numbers are even worse than I expected. And Trot's declined.

Where can I get gb/fb numbers for pitchers? If I'm not mistaken, Boston's staff has more fb guys than gbs. Not a great combination with our OF defense.

11. PJ Martinez Posted: July 12, 2006 at 01:41 PM (#2096930)

"BTW, what do Manny's supporters think about his defense these days? Have y'all accepted that he's probably a true -25 yet?"

Does anyone actually support Manny's defense? I think the real debate was whether any player could be -40, if I remember correctly. I think the consensus was that he's probably more around -25... and lo and behold.

From Hardball Times (hopefully the formatting works)

R/G    ERA   FIP   DER   LD%   GB%  IF/Fly  K/G  BB/G  HR/G HR/Fly  SLG    LOB%
BOS     4.80  4.54  4.62  .701   18%   42%    12%   6.9   3.1   1.3   13%  .436     72%

They appear to be about average in GB%, allow a fairly low LD% and a lot of IF%.

13. You Forgot Walewander Posted: July 12, 2006 at 01:47 PM (#2096939)

I hope this explains to people why the Tigers are playing so well... although is Johnny Damon really playing better D than Granderson??

Thanks for this, Chris.

Oh, yeah, I guess that wasn't the argument. IMHO, it's possible for someone as bad as manny to be a true talent -25 and also put up a -40 season (which at 10 runs per SD is only 1.5 SDs below his true talent - equivalent to a hitter stinking a la paul konerko 2003). but that's neither here nor there. I also recall being frustrated that my position was ridiculed as if I believed he was a true talent -40, which no one that I'm aware of has ever said.

I think the true question is whether it's possible to be -40 in left field. Given that Bernie and Griffey frequently grade out that poorly or worse while playing outfield, and no one questions those rankings, seems possible to me. If its possible to do, Manny's the guy to do it :)

15. Srul Itza Posted: July 12, 2006 at 02:09 PM (#2096956)

Remarkably similar to my 06 UZR!

Is the same true for his NL rankings? Any disagreement between the systems that stands out there?

Again, thanks to both Chris and mgl for the work.

yeah i remember it pretty much the same way, but i would add that part of the debate was whether manny's "impossible" -40 uzr was a reason to throw uzr out the window entirely.

Thanks for the link, Dan. They seems pretty average on gb/fb-- and their FIP is higher than their ERA, so that IF defense (on the left side) does seem to be helping. Amazing (though not surprising, I guess) how much Detroit's D seems to be helping their pitching numbers at this point.

Paul Konerko 2003 seems like a good analogy for Manny's defense that year. I think if people saw it that way-- he's a very bad fielder who had a terrible year-- they might be less resistant to the idea. It's just hard to get one's head around the idea that a leftfielder could cost his team 40 runs in a season, especially with half his games in Fenway. Not saying it's wrong at all, just that it's a little counter-intuitive.

Thanks for the info, mgl. I appreciate your input.

3B may be better suited to [Adams], although I don't know what his arm is like.

His arm is awful. It's the reason he moved to 2B from SS in the first place. The minor leagues may be better suited to him.

I'll checkout the NL numbers later today. On a quick perusal, they look very similar to mine as well, which I expect given the AL numbers.

Everyone must keep in mind that a half year of UZR or Dial ratings can easily (10-20% of the players?) be far from their true defensive talent (such as Bonds and Crisp). In 50 or 100 chances, only 5 or 10 really make a difference. One player could have 5 easy to catch balls in any one zone and another player could have 5 hard to catch balls in that same zone.

From my understanding of what people smarter than me have said in the past, looking at defensive numbers halfway through a season is like looking at offensive numbers halfway through May; in many cases you'll be right, but there's still a lot of noise in your way.

how are you doing catchers - I didn't think ZR was done for catchers.

23. Chris Dial Posted: July 25, 2006 at 04:33 PM (#2111812)

mtag,
catchers are based on CS, SBA, E, PB.

You are correct - it isn't a ZR-based rating.

Just as a reality check...Shelton is the leading 1B with 12 runs saved. Wells is the leading CF with 8 runs saved.

Is it really possible that a 1Bman could be that much more valuable than the best defensive CF in the league?

25. Chris Dial Posted: August 15, 2006 at 12:39 PM (#2141660)

bigseries,
yes. It says that teams are more willing to have a poor fielder at first base than they are in CF. So the overall talent in CF is closer than the talent is at 1B wrt fielding the position.

In general, I think 3B has the widest range of talent. Some teams believe it is a sluggers spot, defense be damned. Some teams believe it's a glove spot; some teams balance it.

Why not? Erstad hasn't played much, he's as good as Shelton on a per-game basis. And there are some real butchers -- Giambi, Konerko -- pulling the 1B average down. Throw in some random noise and we shouldn't be surprised.

Konerko's not that bad of a fielder. He doesn't have much range, but he makes the plays he needs to.

28. Chris Dial Posted: August 15, 2006 at 09:51 PM (#2142590)

Konerko is a butcher. One of the worst over the last 20 years.

29. Hello Rusty Kuntz, Goodbye Rusty Cars Posted: August 15, 2006 at 11:09 PM (#2142643)

Konerko's got to be the best fielding White Sox 1B over the last 15 years.

30. Vaux, A.B.D. Posted: August 16, 2006 at 12:07 AM (#2142661)

What a huge loss Polanco is.

31. Chris Dial Posted: August 16, 2006 at 06:52 AM (#2142730)

You'll find out very shortly.
