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

  Please provide a link to the UZR derivation/methodology. Those of us who are new to the stats part of the game would benefit sometime if the conversation weren't only in code to those who already seem to know what's going on.

Thanks.

  Nod Narb,

Thanks regarding UZR.

Actually the basic UZR methods explanation doesn't appear to be in the Primate Studies index, at least not that I could see. But I searched the Baseball Primer Archive and found two references that are apparently to the latest methods statements.

  Thanks. Now I really have my reading cut out for me. Might I suggest that if all the defense stuff has been on a single index instead of every author's own stuff being on separate pages, that would help people like me.
