[HHR]

I dont get how that dont make sense,he dont have great foot speed in the OF but i rarely see him make mistakes,alot of assists,he doesnt make mistakes or miss many balls...I dont see where the negative figure comes from...youre now focused on something else.

Balls In Zone....Total Plays made.....and then compared to other RF. That's how it's calculated.

And his arm is factored in as well.

 

[HHR]

Hows that dumb? I said i didnt understand how its calculated,based strictly on range or varying other factors...So outfield assists,his ability to hold runners accounts for zero ? Why is it dumb to suggest it might..

Yall try too hard...
