A post I was going to write explaining FIP very briefly for my audience over at RFB turned into this analysis of UZR vs. (ERA-FIP) runs. Larger version here: http://img.imgcake.com/defenseandfip.jpg

pretty strong correlation there
Which I guess is to be expected.
Which are the teams in quadrants II and IV (I think?) which don’t fit what with the other 25 teams?
Can't get enough of the Oakland A's? Visit Oaktown Awesomer's. For further statistical analysis, Beyond the Box Score.
on the bottom right (+20 ERA-FIP, -28.6 UZR) is Minnesota
in quadrant II on the far left is KC (-46, +7), then SF (-22, +16), CLE (-21, +19), and FLA (-11.16, 6.1)
I think what would be real nice is to do a multi-variable regression based on the UZR values from each position. I’m sure it also depends on the handedness of the pitchers as well (LHPs would need better right side defense and vice versa?)

Would it make sense to use team UZR/150 instead?
To account for extra inning games, rain-shortened games, etc.

I used the actual IP numbers for each team to figure out the run differences between ERA and FIP
so I think straight UZR works better here
