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.
