David Pinto and fielding (November 10, 2003)

Posted 2:15 p.m., November 14, 2003 (#15) - David Pinto(e-mail) (homepage)
I wanted to respond to Danny's comment about the A's at third base. The A's are turning out to be a very interesting case which will need a great deal of study. With the parameters I've used so far, the A's pitchers look like they set up easy chances for their fielders. So any fielder on the A's is going to get less credit in this system. Also, remember, this system is not measuring runs at the moment, but outs. It could very well be that Chavez is trading stopping doubles for letting singles go by, which might hurt his DER but help his overall runs saved. Chavez does very well in 2003 in defensive win shares. He's going to be a case to examine very closely, as will the Scott Hatteberg/Travis Lee extremes at first base.
