new defensive metric

[tomwopat]

there's a new PBP-based range metric named BBARF

 

interesting suprises: clark atop RF, jenkins near the bottom in LF when UZR has historically rated him well. most of our usual suspects didn't play enough innings to be rated.

This sounds encouraging. Heck, research that yields this is always appreciated:

 

In 2004, Yankees pitchers allowed 2,027 ground balls. Based on the amount of balls put into play by left-handed and right-handed batters against the Yankees, I expected Yankee shortstops to make 450 assists. Derek Jeter played 93% of defensive innings played by the Yankees, so I expected him to have 419 assists. Jeter actually had 392 assists, which puts him at -27 assists above average. Converted to runs, he's -16.

Wow, it took me a while to get that. But I laughed my butt off when I did. Excellent job Brian.
