Defensive projections

There's still two games left in the season, but the final numbers aren't going to change anyone's projection by more than a fraction. Here are the defensive projections for 2007 for all players who were active in 2006 and met my playing time criteria.

Aramis Ramirez is a below average 3B at -6, but then Maicer Izturis (-5) isn't that great either. Some of the other free agents talked about, Soriano is +1 after one year in left, and Carlos Lee is -4. Barry Bonds is only at -1. Somehow the old fart still catches most of what's hit to him.

Red Sox fans will be less up in arms on Manny Ramirez's rating. He's at the bottom at -16 after a park adjustment. That may still be unfair to him since zone rating doesn't say "STOP" when a ball hits high off the green monster, but if its off its probably by 5 runs instead of by 20.

Que? "sat"? Do you mean "if it is off"?

"sat" should be "say"

It looks like Coco Crisp also needs some park adjustment for CF in Fenway. The 2006 data I've assembled is here.
