defensive metrics are still iffy imo. dont think it is close to the eye test.

@JeffPassan: Jeff Francoeur threw out Victor Martinez by so much at home -- about 25 feet -- that Victor didn't bother going home. Just ran to dugout.


Lol

Please leave this discussion to the peasants my dude. We're not worth of discussing baseball with such an astute student of the game such as you with all your advanced scouting experience.

Ppreciate it.

not being a dick but i don't think that has an effect. i've never looked into it too too deeply. i'd have to see examples of what counts as what, explained to me in person by the dudes doing it, to realize the differences in some plays. i was a slave to defensive metrics for a good bit and have backed off considerably.

Screwing around the Fielding Bible website, they have that for catchers, so I'm assuming that they factor this into defense too.

fun little snippet from DRS | FanGraphs Sabermetrics Library

“…as I understand it, the numbers determines (using film study and computer comparisons) how many more or fewer successful plays a defensive player will make than league average. For instance, if a shortstop makes a play that only 24% of shortstops make, he will get .76 of a point (1 full point minus .24). If a shortstop BLOWS a play that 82% of shortstops make, then you subtract .82 of a point. And at the end, you add it all up and get a plus/minus.” (Joe Posnanski, Sports Illustrated)

that ^^^ is really tricky territory. which is why metrics are eh/still growing.

In defensive metrics to gauge catchers, they use adjusted ERA for pitchers as a way to evaluate catchers

We had this during the CarGo debate. I don't completely trust defensive metrics (look at Freeman) but they are useful tools IMO.
