The 2006 Scouting Report by the Fans for the Fans

[SirKodiak]

Tangotiger, one of the authors of The Book, is asking people to vote on various aspects of each fielder's fielding ability. I think it is fun, as it is based off what you have seen, not numbers (which really don't say a lot about defense), and the information could be useful for those that make rosters for Baseball Mogul. Here is the link:

You can also look at previous polls on defense at this link:

ive always thought this was a fun look at the psychology of people who think they are more 'in-tune' than the average fan, ie. even if Ozzie Smith is having a down year, he still winds up with lots of 'good' and 'great' votes but nobody stands up and says they voted that way (its always the other guy is the jackass).
