Which seems like it's gotta be wrong. The most interesting thing I’ve found so far is that EVERY major league team is within 10 runs/150 of being average. Which seems like it’s gotta be wrong.

And Bay was -7 runs with the Pirates (-10 per 150) this year. And -11 overall last year. He was average the year before and +8 runs the year before that. All from BIS UZR.

Also, is the Green Monster messing with Bay’s stats? Because that’s a really serious downgrade from even Manny.

It's not the players, it's the evaluation. I wonder if UZR just has problems with the Green Monster, period. It’s not the players, it’s the evaluation.

Lopez isn't actually that bad at second. With as many problems as the Mariners have, and as long as he's hitting - it's not really an issue. Fukudome's D is better than I thought (I've not seen a lot of him). And Bill James projects some offensive improvement in 2009. A 'bad contract' swap for him would certainly get my vote. with my glass half full…

Also, is the Green Monster messing with Bay's stats? Because that's a really serious downgrade from even Manny. And I am surprised with Granderson's poor showing, a guy with his speed should in theory be good in centre. Why is Brad Hawpe allowed to wear a glove on a baseball field?
