1. Mike Webber Posted: November 11, 2013 at 12:25 PM (#4598046)The Baltimore winners the biggest outliers
Center fielders
Player Team SDI
Lorenzo Cain KC 12.1
Jacoby Ellsbury BOS 10.4
Leonys Martin TEX 9.4
Colby Rasmus TOR 5.1
Brandon Barnes HOU 4.1
Desmond Jennings TB 0.5
Michael Bourn CLE -1.8
Mike Trout LAA -1.8
Austin Jackson DET -2.3
Brett Gardner NYY -2.3
Alejandro De Aza CHW -3.1
Michael Saunders SEA -7.5
Adam Jones BAL -9.8
Jones plays a shallow CF, which is going to (a) make him look bad in the defensive metrics and (b) make him look good in the eyes of the GG voters because he's going to make a lot of running catches. (See another Jones - Andruw.)
-- MWE
Edit: nope didn't miss it, just was busy that week...
He was in the news for a defensive highlight just about every week, and the guy who had been winning it before (Tulo) missed a significant chunk of the season (again). I suspect that if Simmons wasn't at the top before the SDI vote he was very close to Tulo.
-- MWE
We can't realy "know" this, because we don't know how the voters were influenced or swayed by the SDI information they received prior to voting.
I think ideally voters would have noticed Jones at the bottom of the SDI list and though "I was going to vote for Jones, but maybe he was just off in his fielding this year, so I'm going to vote for XXXXXXX that I like almost as well as Jones."
Doesn't seem to have happened that way this year, but maybe it will as the voters become more comfortable with the metrics.
