What were their range factors? I just simmed a season and none of my guys won the awards. My third baseman, left fielder, center fielder all had range factors of under one.
Right fielder had a 1.29 RF .884 fld pct. 13 errors.
C with 6.17 RF 1.00 fld pct 0 errors.
1B with 4.46 RF 1.00 fld pct. 0 errors.
2B with 2.98 RF .998 fld pct. 1 error.
SS with 3.27 RF .994 fld pct 3 errors.
3B with .87 RF 1.00 fld pct. 0 errors.
LF with .84 RF 1.00 fld pct. 0 errors.
CF with 1.29 RF 1.00 fld pct 0 errors.
The winners were C 7.67 RF 0 PB .998 fld pct. 2 errors in 131 games.
1B 6.89 RF 1.00 fld pct 0 errors
2B 5.52 RF .999 fld pct 1 error
3B 1.29 RF 1.00 fld pct 0 errors
SS 5.58 RF .994 fld pct 5 errors
OF 2.4 RF 1.00 fld pct 0 errors (CF)
OF 2.3 RF 1.00 fld pct 0 errors (CF)
OF 1.42 RF 1.00 fld pct 0 errors. (RF)
My C did better in everything except for range factor. 1.5 difference.
My 1B did worse by 2.43 in RF equal elsewhere.
My 2B 2.54 worse in RF .001 worse in fld pct. equal elsewhere
My 3B .42 worse in RF equal elsewhere
My SS 2.31 worse in RF 2 less errors equal elsewhere
My LF .58 worse in RF from worse OF
My CF .13 worse in RF from worse OF
Right fielder is no contest.
After looking at this, RF is obviously the stat that separates my guys from the winners. My vastly superior pitching has cost my guys fielder of the year awards!
On the bright side, all my guys won silver slugger awards. My C had a .470 avg. 40 HR and 313 RBI.
