Note: I posted a spreadsheet on 11/14/09 that was not age adjusted. I would prefer for people to used the new age-adjusted spreadsheet. I posted it at 9:30 MST on 11/15/09, but will be leaving the non-age-adjusted one available. Sorry for this inconvenience. --Jeff
I created UZR projections for the 2010 season and the values are available on Google Documents Spreadsheet (original non age adjusted spreadsheet). I got 4 years worth of UZR numbers from Fangraphs. Then I did a 5-4-3-2 yearly weighting regressed to 125 games with a -0.7UZR aging factor (article where the math is explained).
I selected for the worksheet any players that played in at least 63 games at the position over the last 4 years. Some retired players are included, but I don't want to make any judgment on whether they will come back and play. Also, for players who played in less than 63 games, I added their UZR value if it was greater than 1 or less than -1. Sorry for the lack of team-wide charts, but I might add them near the beginning of the season once rosters are more finalized. Please let me know if you have any questions about the data. Here are a couple charts of the projected leaders and laggards at each position (players that played that position in 2009).
Leaders
| Position | Name | Projected UZR |
| 1B | Albert Pujols | 5.5 |
| 2B | Chase Utley | 11.0 |
| 3B | Evan Longoria | 11.0 |
| SS | Adam Everett | 8.6 |
| RF | Austin Kearns | 8.3 |
| CF | Franklin Gutierrez | 14.8 |
| LF | Carl Crawford | 9.8 |
Laggards (glad my Royals keep trading for such great glove men)
| Position | Name | Projected UZR |
| 1B | Mike Jacobs | -5.6 |
| 2B | Kelly Johnson | -5.2 |
| 3B | Ryan Braun | -12.4 |
| SS | Yuniesky Betancourt | -9.7 |
| RF | Brad Hawpe | -19.3 |
| CF | Jacoby Ellsbury | -9.0 |
| LF | Adam Dunn | -13.4 |
Help with downloading the file after the Jump
A couple of people have asked, so the spreadsheet can be downloaded by going to "File" -> "Download as" and then selecting desired file type.
