2039 - BBA PAA

[RonCo]

Since I was working on the UMEBA, I've got an early posting for defense in the BBA. Same deal as before--here's how our teams are performing in the field based on actual balls in play...relative to the average team.

More updates to follow, of course...

[jleddy]

Is this PAA per game? Or a percentage total thru the first two weeks?

[RonCo]

Total plays for all games across the two weeks.

[7teen]

So what we're saying here is when you play a 2B at SS and a 3B at 2B with no 2B rating, your defense won't be that good?

Madison should REALLY look at trading some guys....

[recte44]

Man my defense sucks lately

[udlb58]

Huh. With no Rutledge, Arbizo, or Wareham (and above average to good replacements defensively), I was expecting our infield/GB defense to be better than just 0

[RonCo]

It's early.

[Spiccoli]

Love seeing the early season success from Hawaii

[nerfHerder]

Hey thanks! I’m all about defense. I saw some internal corrections to be made and so far they’re paying off. Super early, but still fun to see.

[Rubaboo]

Good. Back where we belong.

[usnspecialist]

my outfield defense will take a small hit trading harsnett, but other than that im pleased.

[JimBob2232]

Wow. What a change from last year.

[7teen]

If you’re not first, you’re last. Or something like that.

[HoosierVic]

Geez. Neither of the defensive "upgrades" at shortstop (Navarro and Ngowa) seem to have worked out ... I think my defense is worse than last year, and it flat out sucked last year. And since neither of those guys hit worth a damn, well, good quick work on my part.

I might as well go with Morales full time. He's an elite defender, at least, and doesn't hit much worse than those two jokers ...

[jleddy]

Okay, that looks more like more my style. Chalking up the results of the first report to small sample size.

[indiansfan]

So I guess I have the worst outfield in the league. Good thing they hit homers.

[RonCo]

That is a pretty ugly OF...but if they hit enough of those homers, who cares.

Right now that defense is 35 plays worse than Boise's though. 27 worse than Seattle.

[7teen]

So I guess I have the worst outfield in the league. Good thing they hit homers.

Kind of like my Infield except they get on base instead of hitting homers.
