Ultimate Zone Rating
April 8, 2010
tags: Ultimate Zone Rating, UZR
It was my understanding there would be no math, but the Ultimate Zone Rating (or “UZR” as the kids are calling it) seems to be all the rage recently. In case you missed the memo, it’s basically a newer and quite complicated method of measuring a baseball player’s defensive prowess. It’s not about just counting errors, though that’s one small part of the formula. I’ll stop there and let this helpful video from the Boston Globe explain it far better than I ever could. Tip of the hat to Rob Neyer of ESPN for sharing this find via Twitter.
And for those of you fantasy baseball owners trying to figure out a way to incorporate UZR into your fantasy league next season…just stop already.

Bo, any chance that you can do a monthly ranking update on your cheat sheet and include any up an coming minor leaguers. thanks
John,
I have moved this site to blogger. Check out BoKnowz.com and I have an “in-season” fantasy baseball rankings page set up there.
Bo
Bo, I saw your original list but have you or will you do a updated list. I couldn.t find it if you already have done so. John
Yep, go to BoKnowz.com (http://boknowz.com/), NOT boknowz.wordpress.com. There you will find a link at the top of the page that says “Fantasy Baseball Rankings.” Click on that and it will take you to my rankings updated as of yesterday.
Thanks!
