Baseball's fans are very perceptive. Take a large group of them, and they can pick out the final standings with the best of them. They can forecast the performance of players as well as those guys with rather sophisticated forecasting engines. Bill James, in one of his later Abstracts, had the fans vote in for the ranking of the best to worst players by position. And they did a darn good job.
Every year, Tom Tango asks for some fan-based defensive analysis for every team in the MLB. It doesn't matter if you're not a stathead, since the entire survey is subjective. Go give Omar and Pedro what they deserve. For all their offensive woes, they make a mean left-infield tandem.
