It is based on historical data, but I don't know that the data's really worth much as there's no real agreement on how to measure historical fielding data.
Imo, having seen him play many times, Evans was an incredible Right Fielder and while I'm typically a data oriented kind of guy, it'd take a boatload of data to convince me that Evans wasn't a great fielder. Same with Hernandez for that matter.
