The Brewster

Thanks, as usual, for doing this!

Putting Benavidez at 3B in place of Duran (who had a -9 ZR last season) has made a major difference. I have a feeling that’s a contributing factor to the improvement in our pitching numbers this season, too.

Jacksonville Hurricanes 13.6 -15.6 0.6 -6.8 -8.3

I assume I am reading this correctly ...

Infield is +14.2, outfield is - 22.4. And that is with Dijkstra at +3.1 in centerfield.

Here is the JAX breakout by zone ...

Is anyone playing the corners ?

Wow Madison shot up there. A change on +28 over the last update. No one is even close to that kind of bump. Nice job!

Is there a way to figure out which players are doing the worst? We jumped to a huge negative number on ground balls, but none of my infielders have terrible ratings. Up the middle both guys are 9's.

here are CLG's numbers for GB by zone.

PLAYS	3L	3	34	4	4M	6M	6	56	5	5L
SHALLOW	0.00	2.10	1.91	-0.01	-0.71	-0.98	1.31	0.33	0.74	0.00
MID	-0.88	-0.68	-0.76	-0.47	0.34	-2.76	-2.10	-4.60	0.77	1.11
DEEP	0.00	-0.35	0.20	-2.37	-4.72	-3.47	-2.91	-2.63	-0.30	0.00

Bell and Kibasila are good exhibits for why I worry about overall defensive ratings. That said, two months is not a huge sample size for defense.

Yeah and Rice is at like -5 ZR in CF. So much for my up the middle defense.

Note that I've made a small adjustment to the numbers for fly balls because I wasn't always handling home runs properly.

Well, in a month and a half I’ve gone from 0.5 on fly balls to -8.9 lol, I’ve also swapped things around and added a decent CF but that fly ball rating has really knocked my overall figure

Looking good Madison! Helps make up for so-so staff

...at least we are good at something now

I dont know why I worry about my OF defense when apparently its my IF that is only slightly above average. At least we are 1 of the only 6 teams that have a positive number for each category.

I can't even beat Madison in this. We're a disgrace.

An 8 point jump for Groubdballs for the Cougars. I like it. And a 5 point jump for flyballs.

Defense?

....now if i could just get some pitching...
