Fan Fielding Survey Results - 2007
Tiger Tales: A Detroit Tigers Blog —
... He then tabulated the results which can be seen in detail on his site. I’ll summarize the results for the Tigers below. Note that the sample size for the Tigers was about 53 which is a pretty good size. Not every fan rated every player so some player's ratings are based on fewer than 53 ballots. However, most of the regulars were rated by at least 50 fans and every player was rated by enough fans so that all the results should be relevant. Tango explains that the league average rating for each of the 7 categories is 50 and that a player with a rating of 70 or better is in top 16% in the league. ...

No, the Tigers did not just make a trade involving Wily Mo Pena and Jerry Hairston Jr. I'm in the process of collecting fielding data from around the internet - The Hardball Times , Baseball Musings , Tangotiger.net , Fielding Bible and ESPN . I'm almost done merging everything but Wily Mo Pena and Jerry Hairston Jr. are messing things up because of their names, multiple positions and in Pena's case multiple teams. Anybody who has merged databases before probably understands what I mean. Once I'm done, I'll be talking about fielding data for the ...

... (look near the very top of the graph) who threw out more than twice the number of expected runners (eight killed, three expected), but suffered from a below-average hold rate. I'll be looking forward to see if runners get more cautious against Amezaga in the future. Final Thought Do these outfield arm evaluations make sense? I am not an impartial observer, of course, but I think they do. It's interesting to compare these ranking with the results from Tom Tango's Fans' Scouting Report 2007 (a fabulous resource, by the way). The fans seem to be in agreement on most of our ...
Fan Fielding Survey versus range measures

... , fans were asked to scout players on reaction/instincts, acceleration/first few steps, speed, hands, release/footwork, throwing strength and throwing accuracy. He then tabulated the results which can be seen in detail on his site. Each player ends up with a score between 0 and 100 on each of the 7 skills. Tango explains that the league average rating for each of the 7 categories is 50 and that a player with a rating of 70 or better is in top 16% in the league. Tango also came up with an idea on how to turn these ratings into runs scored above average. First, weighted ...

The Fans' Scouting Report Basically, Tom asked fans, anybody who wanted to contribute, to rate the defensive abilities of major league players. He wanted people who had seen the player in question in at least 10 games during the 2007 season and asked for a judgment in seven different defensive categories, which I list here: The fan/scout was asked to give a score of one to five for each category. Tom then tabulated the ...
