Found this thread by trying to answer a question. I found it frustrating to try to edit player error ratings. I really prefer the 6.5 system of entering a fielding %. Now that this has been replaced by Error Ratings, is there any equivalent? This might explain the problem I've found with 1B fielding. It's nearly impossible to have a poor fielding 1B because practically any range/error rating you provide the player will make them a '10' (on the 1-10 scale). I now wonder if it is tied to the fact that the average 1B often has a fielding % well over .990. So then I wonder...if a player has a certain error rating does that translate based on position? i.e. will that error rating result in a .995 F% at 1B while just a .950 at 2B? I mean, a .950 F% for a 1B would be very poor while it would be decent for any other infielder.
