In order to make it easier to discuss fielding ratings, I did a quick check of all players by their set position, and worked out the approximate median value in Cubby/hb's set for each rating.
_______IF rng__ IF arm_Turn DP_IF error
P______23_____38_____27_____23
1B_____32_____43_____43_____53
2B_____58_____53_____73_____63
SS_____72_____76_____77_____76
3B_____52_____72_____62_____66
_______OF rng__OF arm_OF error
LF_____53_____62_____59
CF_____82_____58_____72
RF_____52_____72_____58
_______C arm__C abil__ IF error
C______62_____62_____7
[EDITED many times; man it's hard to get tables to look right!]
I post this so we can discuss fielding ratings more intelligently; if you think, say, Pujols should have well above average range at 1st (he has a 51/100), well, he does- 3rd best in the set, in fact, and way above the 32/100 median for 1B. I'm a bit concerned the IF error ratings for catchers are so low; it's my understanding that this affects a catcher's fielding PCT. I can now make concrete numerical suggestions for the fielding suggestions made so far (ratings out of 200 now), by comparing with the average at each position:
ryan zimmerman
if range --> 166
turn dp --> 120
robert fick
c arm --> 66
c abil --> 60
dmitri young
if error --> 35
tony batista
if range --> 70
felipe lopez
if range --> all ok here, actually
if error --> 120
ryan langerhans
of arm --> 130
of rng --> 170
josh barfield
if rng --> 125
if error --> 110
aaron hill
if rng --> 131
edgar renteria
if rng --> 132
ramon santiago
if rng --> 165
turn dp --> 160
if error --> 155
carlos guillen
is below avg already, for a SS, so all ok here
jeff francoeur
of rng --> 128
matt diaz
of rng --> 80
