In my original post I mentioned that we used a method to determine Estimated Defensive Innings for all players where real life data did not exist. The method we used is based on Bill James Win Shares pg 155-160. We took he extra step of creating the discrete estimated defensive inningouts for each of the 3 OF positions for every player.

The estimated data is very solid and it is the best that can be done. When we were creating the DB for the game, we even compared how close results from the estimated method were to actual known data for some seasons. The results were very good for a very large portion of the players in the DB - the method was less accurate for players who only had a handful of games played in a season.
