Since wins go up 12.4 from 0 to 100, can we say that 37.2 more win shares are to be given to the defense of the excellent team versus the defense of the terrible team? Using a standard distribution, over seven positions because the catcher seemed to remain constant, 2.4 of those should go to the first baseman, 8.9 to the second baseman, 6.2 to the third baseman, 9.0 to the shortstop, 2.9 to the leftfielder, 4.5 to the centerfielder, and 3.3 to the rightfielder. All of these numbers point to the conclusion that the difference between a perfect defensive team and a terrible one is still a VERY GOOD defensive team.
