Fielding Forecast
Ranking the Fielders
By David Welch - Editor-at-Large
11/12/2007
Do you have love for the glove? You should. And Stratogists will tell you which players can sling the best leather. Welcome to the 2007 Fielding Forecast. This year, we’re doing things a bit differently. Rather than forecast every player in the deck, including a multitude of utility infielders you don’t care about, we’re forecasting Strat-O-Matic’s ratings for the top 30 or so fielders at every position. Basically, we’re taking the 30 starters and adding a few hot rookies or super subs whom you may find interesting.
This tells managers drafting in new leagues who the best glove men are and will be a useful guide as keeper leaguers make trades for the next Strat season. Here’s how we rank them. We take the range rating and e-number and cross that with the OPS a hitter enjoys every time Strat tests the fielder.
Out first installment will be the first basemen. Say you love Ryan Howard’s bat, and with good reason. But we think he’ll get a 4 e14 at first, which means the hitter effectively has a 1.039 OPS every time someone hits a gb 1B (x) to Howard. Who’s a better fielder, Derek Lee with a 1 e8 or Todd Helton with a 2 e2. Helton, bust just barely. His OPS against in an (x) situation is .270, versus .279 for Lee.
The catchers won’t be ranked by opposing OPS since these are results besides outs are single-base miscues.
For highlights, we think there will be five 1-rated first basemen this year. Maybe we’re going out on a limb, but we’re forecasting seven 1-rated centerfielders. There are that many great gloves out there. But there will likely be only two catchers with a numero uno.
All of the positions have been posted below, we hope you enjoy browsing through them.
