Bottom line: right now, Omaha has the leageu's best defense, having made 19 plays more than they would have had they been fielding an average defense. San Antonia, New Mexico, and a Vancouver are a tick behind. The three on the top are doing it heavily with their infield, Vancouver is more of an "around the horn" kind of approach.
On the bottom side, we've got four teams having made 30 fewer plays than if they'd fielded an average club.
Ultimately, these are really early data, and of course, they'll change as personnel moves him and out of each roster.
Still, I thought you all might find it interesting to glance at this stuff again, Maybe compare it to ZR and Eff, and think about what it means--if anything.
