Baseball Prospectus - : Evaluating Defense (March 1, 2004)

Posted 1:53 p.m., March 2, 2004 (#27) - Dotterer
After reading the piece, I don't think Click was trying to discuss the state of defense evaluation. I think they're just shooting to put something up for people who are total sabermetric newbies. I dont think it's anything sinister. I've seen Huckabay speak twice, and I know he knows about UZR because he mentions it as a defensive measurement he likes and uses.

I think the piece would have been stronger without any mention of alternative defensive measurement at all. But the whole series reads like an intro to sabermetrics. This piece is no different.
