Scoops aren't just chips anymore
The Fielding Bible's John Dewan takes a look at first baseman "scoops" the last two years. Guess who ranks highly this season?

that's only because we have a shortstop who happens to be cuban (and lazy, not that smart in the head)

Must've tallied it before the Spanks' series.
Didn’t PK muff a couple?

they are only counting "scoops" so it wouldn't matter
Sox win, cubs lose.....what a wonderful world!
Aren't they missing sort of an important variable here?
"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."

I was thinking actual scoop attempts?
I mean I don’t know if they are so consistent that it doesn’t matter, but it would seem a count rate stat would need to be taken with a grain of salt without including actual number of attempts. Maybe the reason Konerko is ‘suddenly’ so good this year is that Ramirez throws a lot more balls into the dirt than OCab did. I don’t know, just saying it seems to be a big leap in my opinion to start saying someone is better than someone else without that piece of info.

That's what I thought you meant.
Like % of successful scoops vs. total scoops.

you mean so that there was some sort of relevance? surely you jest. how could opportunity play into this counting stat?
Cashing checks and having sex.
This?
The true difference between Gold Glover Mark Teixeira and Jason Giambi is in handling grounders. In the last two years Teixeira has saved his teams 18 runs fielding grounders, while Giambi has cost his team 18, a 36-run difference in Defensive Runs Saved. (Defensive Runs Saved is a statistic developed in The Fielding Bible—Volume II.)

i was one of the best scoopers in little league :)

I think its really funny that Alexei wants a gold glove at short stop when its
probably Paulie that will get one (or more likely to get one) from scooping up all of Alexei’s lazy tosses
i'll delete your SSS existence in a second. there is nothing that allows SSS posters, at any one moment, to keep posting, but the mere pleasure of larry.
