Here's an example of the top and bottom 3 teams in DPs in HR last season:

Team DP     FPCT +/-       GB/FB OAV
Seattle 460 .984 65/17 1.09 .245
Minnesota 448 .986 58/23 1.27 .253
San Francisco 445 .982 43/32 1.20 .265
Oklahoma City 329 .989 88/20 1.18 .253
Fargo 322 .989 38/54 1.30 .281
Helena 287 .981 68/48 1.23 .280

Seattle ahas a worse OAV and worse GB/FB than OKC, but far, far more DPs than OKC. Seattle's SS/2B/1B accounted for 14/4/9 plus plays while OKC's SS/2B/1B accounted for 25/2/12 plus plays. Seattle's main 2B was 84/72/53/62 and SS was 91/88/85/82. OKC had a 2B with 75/78/55/58 and a SS with 82/91/94/90 (with a 91/93/95/89 backup that played nearly 500 innings).

I'd love to take Hartman, but I just don't have anything to give up for him. Pretty much the only guy I'm willing to move is a top SS prospect (Al Gonzales); I definitely don't have any pitching to trade.

I don't really think the update was supposed to make it more exciting.

Damn, I wish my deal with Dubbs yesterday had gotten done 2 minutes earlier.  I could use the money this cycle.

Yeah, but it's easier now with the rehiring process. And cheaper.

I find it helpful. Plus I think I spent more on a fielding coach than any other coach.

I won't be.  Does anyone in Cleveland think LBJ is staying?

Fielding is the one area Id seek to overpay for top coaching

What's the difference in salary from staying in Cleveland to going to Miami, compared to what he'd save for lack of taxation in Florida?

It's a little nicer now that they won't take the cheapest bench job instead of something paying five times the amount as a fielding instructor.

There just aren't many great ones available.

Glenn Black resigned for 4 seasons in HR, complete with 10M signing bonus.  Will earn 3.25M when he's 37 and 38

As it'd been pointed out before, within a particular category one or two points don't mean a whole lot. An 85 pitch coaching dude isn't that much better than an 80 in that category.
