*Fielding DRS Stats*

This is great. It seems to prove the established wisdom. There are a couple that surprise me if I'm reading this correctly. Often, you see a player that has a great infield profile except for a weak arm almost always shoehorned into 2B. It appears here that arm is far more significant to 2B than SS? Of course, assuming I had the range and error ratings, I'd still make more of an impact at SS, but arm isn't that impactful. It's as impactful as 3B from 2B! This literally makes me wonder if there's something wrong in the engine?

Is throwing out runners from C related to the relatively low amount of SB in a modern environment?
