True, but the already mediocre 3.4 bb/9 rate that goes with it could very well get worse. I laugh now, but I'm prepared to cry when it actually happens.
I thought the stuff that I read from Fast last offseason had the reasonable range for full-time catchers as something like +/- 15. Are these figures coming out of the same methodology or from someone else?
Drew's career hitting line puts him among the top 10 worst all-time for players with as many plate appearances as he has. He doesn't belong on a major league roster.
Drew Butera has hit incredibly well over short stretches of time, but given a large enough sample, it inevitably regresses to his true level of putridity. It's no different for something like UZR, odd things can happen in small samples.
Mauer saw the lowest percentage of 4-seam fastballs in his career this past season. If you combine 4 and 2-seam it was the same as the previous two seasons.
No, it says more about the misuse of a small sample than it does about UZR. And he was +6, not 13, in said sample (roughly the equivalent of one month's worth of PA's).
My favorite moment was a guy that never appear in a game for the Twins organization received multiple threads. http://www.twinsdaily.com/showthread.php?4217-Field-Claimed-by-Angels
