Questionable UZR values?
We've had occasional discussions about Raul Ibanez's bad defense, particularly in light of his especially horrible UZR rating. Not too long ago, taco pal posted the also bad UZRs for the other players who have played leftfield this season, perhaps suggesting that there is something fishy about how UZR handles leftfield at Citizens Bank Park. In the link above, Marc Normandin makes a similar point with respect to leftfield at Fenway, taking issue with Carl Crawford's poor UZR score this year, versus his superlative scores in previous years, also noting the huge differences between Manny Ramirez's road UZR and his epically horrible Fenway UZR. Worth a look.
