Ace, I'd read through the basics of The Fielding Bible. They basically do what Ruby suggests...they "watch the game." Only instead of watching, say, 80 Cub games, they watch 162 games, every inning, every pitch, <b>of all 30 teams</b>. Then they meticulously go through every fielding play, and compare its' level of difficulty to other players across MLB.
It's a nice combo: 75% Ruby (using their eyes) and 25% serious tabulation to put what they see in the proper context.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
