I like that stat PG and it does tell quite a bit. Still think it's a little arbitrary because Judge A thinks a player can get to a ball while Judge B thinks he couldn't (at least the way I interpret what you put). But overall still seems to be a pretty good indicator of good / bad defense.

Ran across this article on PED's and history of baseball.

By no means do I intend for it to be gospel but gets you to thinking. We put guys like Mantle, Ruth, Gherig, Cobb and so on on these pedastals while we look for anything on today's players.

The media has changed and in all honesty not for the good. Back in the "good old days" the media protected celebrities / athletes. How many times do you read / hear / see stories of how the media wouldn't print all the stuff the they did. Today they will do anything to "report" (create) a story even if it means the facts get skewed a little.
