It only deals with the balls the player gets to and the less range a player has the less balls he gets to and the balls he does get to are easier than ones better fielders reach. Holliday is a real good left fielder, has good range doesn't make a ton of errors, and his arm is about average. He's one of the better left fielder in baseball and would be a spectacular pick up. Bay, on the other hand is a terrible fielder with horrific range. He was bad in Boston, imagine how bad he'll be in Citi. Fielding PErcentage is an extremely flawed way at looking at a player.

Three good pitchers + two out of Maine, Pelfrey and the rest. I'll take this team for 2010. Pops I agree about them not being difference-makers. I say go after pitching.
