I think Assists should be worth slightly more than putouts as catching a ball compared with catching at throwing multiplies the chance of error by double.
Or maybe we normalize the assists like you have shown and then lessen the putouts by a certain percentage?
Nice work!
I view them as equal. A good defensive first baseman saves a lot of errors from the other infielders with his ability to make difficult picks, in those cases the putout is often the more difficult part of that play, same goes for catchers who are above average at catching foul tip 3rd strikes. This goes for outfielders too, the guys who get better reads on balls and have better speed catch more balls than those who don't thus giving them more putouts and less chance of throwing out someone trying to stretch a single into a double. Most above average fielders will get to more balls thus giving them more chances for either putouts or assists.

Here are my recommendations to make assists and putouts equal and to normalize for position.
First to equalize assists to putouts you would need to multiply .2 by 2.67 this gives you .534.
Theoretically every position would get 11.1% of the chances, to normalize this to position you divide 11.1 by the assist and putout percentage. When you do this you get with the pitchers as an example the assist ratio is 1.00 and putout ratio is 5.54 (numbers are rounded to 2 decimal points for final numbers only). The next step is to multiply the ratio to the points per, again for pitchers this would give you .53 points per assist and 1.11 per putout. To check you multiply the points per by the total and you come up with an equal amount of points available for all positions for both assists and putouts.
So here goes. PPA = Points per assist PPP = Points per putout
Position PPA PPP
Pitcher .531 1.109
Catcher 1.124 0.086
First Base 0.903 0.070
Second Base 0.210 0.316
Third Base 0.316 0.890
Shortstop 0.209 0.405
Left Field 10.463 0.317
Center Field 12.306 0.235
Right Field 9.500 0.299

Here are the raw numbers of putouts and assists for seasons 2009-2013.
I couldn't find by position stats for the other five years, 5 seasons does give a solid sample size.
Recommendations will follow in a separate post.
There were 2.67 times as many putouts as assists
Position Assists % Putout %
Pitcher 11.2% 2.0%
Catcher 5.3% 25.8%
First 6.6% 31.8%
Second 28.2% 7.0%
Third 18.8% 2.5%
Short 28.3% 5.5%
Left 0.6% 7.0%
Center 0.5% 9.4%
Right 0.6% 7.4%

Later today I am planning on doing a 10 year statistical analysis of where putouts and assists come from and normalizing to position. I will post results here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

I'm not sure how I messed that one up. I will give him one more chance at that price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Uh....you already voiced your opinion on this one. Boston didn't even like the trade after he dug further into it. Let it go. I approved your trade by the way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
