Jeter Fielding Update.
Over on Baseball Primer, they did a ranking of all players by position for their UZR for the last 4 seasons with the more recent years weighted more strongly.

Jeter ranks last amongst shortstops at 31 runs below average per 162 games. That's a lot. Bernie apparently cost the team even more, 32 runs.

By the way, Jay Payton ranks well (in LF & CF), but I've always thought of him as having a bad arm, which would be a problem in RF. Maybe I'm wrong.

Here are the #s.
