Adding one more piece into this. What about range factor? I know very little about all of the so-called Sabrmetric stats but always thought range factor was important for defense. In looking at the starting second baseman in the Continental Association last year (some teams used more than 1) I can see that Rodding is just awful by both ZR and EFF but his range factor is actually pretty good.

An old stats guy like me can tell he is crap just by looking at his fielding percentage. He has been below average but followed up a semi-acceptable in 1924 with just an awful season last year.

Something else that until I played stats only I never even really thought about.
