Question on Win Shares Excel Template by Evan Wetstone v5

Me again.

I just ran this utility to get raw Win Shares totals so that I could adjust them later for park effects (or those that you'd expect based on the OOTP park factors).

Looking at the numbers, the pitching and hitting WS totals appear to be where they should, however the defensive WS appear to be way off.

Top 5 in defensive WS at various positions:

1B: 15.9, 6.4, 6.2, 4.5, 3.3

2B: 7.6, 7.0, 6.7, 6.4, 6.2

3B: 8.9, 6.0, 5.6, 5.5, 5.5

SS: 11.6, 8.4, 8.4, 8.2, 8.0

C: 11.1, 11.1, 10.2, 8.4, 7.7

OF: 7.8, 6.9, 6.4, 6.0, 5.9

In Cato's utility, the 15.9 and 6.4 are 3.3 and 1.2, respectively, which seems a lot more realistic. Neither 1Bman is known for their defensive prowess. The other IF WS totals seem low, as well, most likely due to the high numbers at 1B.

Has anyone figured out a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
