And your numbers do jibe with Fangraphs' site ... 
... then I need an explanation as to how Ichiro had a +14 runs score in 2010, and a -7 runs score in 2011.
If he got to 94% of balls in zone last year, vs. 92% the year before ... and if his Out Of Zone (OOZ) count was higher (proportionally) in 2011 than in 2010 ... how could the UZR be worse?
..............
I don't understand the UZR calculations, obviously.  In 2004, he got to only 71% of balls in zone, and had only 35 OOZ plays.  Yet his UZR was +19 runs.
