First, UZR/150:
Next, TotalZone (provided by Baseball-Reference)
Observations: Yankee beatwriters can now sleep at night because UZR finally casts a positive light on Mark Teixeira — although now they’ll probably protest TotalZone. Nick Swisher continues his outstanding defensive season. Both systems think Granderson has been terrible in CF – UZR/150 pegs him as the 2nd-worst CF in the AL (has him with the worst range in the league). Cano may make it look smooth, but both systems say he’s all style with no substance. Arod was the best fielding 3B in baseball before he folded.

Total Zone is complete BS that only takes in account the play by play.
Why even publish that nonsense?

Wheres the sabermatric love for catchers ?

surely Gardner’s huge range takes catches away from Granderson’s ‘zone’.
If Gardys zone is bigger than ave it makes Grandys smaller by default

Yeah, Granderson is really the worst CF in the league. He looks so lost out there!
These ratings are pretty crap, bro.

RE the “why not Gardner in CF?” posts, you have to remember that Gardner is being compared to other LFs and Granderson is being compared to other CFs.
So Gardner is compared to the worst defensive outfielders in baseball and Granderson is compared to the best. I’m sure Gardner would have better range than Granderson, but the difference would not be nearly as acute as it seems.
