I've always seen the plus/minus system as a more acurate zone rating more than an interpretation of a player's overall defensive skill. It's why, like I said earlier, plus/minus for 1B is almost worthless. While it is important for a first baseman to have good range, it's much more important he have good hands and ability to judge throw trajectory. If you can find it, go look at Derrek Lee's plus/minus.
