the 'range factor leaders by position' tables are actually only for the national league. i edited the headline to indicate this. i'll try to get around to either adding tables for the american league as well or just editing the current ones to include both leagues, but it may be awhile...sooo, if someone else would like to do it, i wouldn't complain.

also, what's the qualifiers for inclusion in this table - games played, total chances, innings, what? last year, freddy sanchez
played 99 games at third base in the national league, had a way better range factor than rolen, but rolen is listed as having the
best range factor. rolen had 43 more games and nearly 400 more innings than sanchez, but not even 100 more chances. since the
formula uses innings, i'd go with that, but what's the minimum needed to qualify? setting it at 1000 means only 18 guys would be
eligible, barely representing half the teams in baseball! i like the tables, but they need work.... Felixjones :02:59, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
