I'm thinking that Sheehan realized that the Davenport Translations aren't very accurate in measuring fielders, because he just went ahead and sited Dewan's +/- system. So, for fun, I checked out BP's own fielding numbers for Ibanez... and to my shock, he graded out as an above average fielder in 2008.

Now, I have a great deal of affection for BP - they got me interested in the power of statistical analysis when I bought their annual publication in 2005. At this point though, I have to agree with some of the recent discussion and beg them to update their metrics.
