UZR proponents would tell you that the system mostly captures park differences.  Ibanez isn't playing in a uniquely small park, compared to all the -8 to -14 gloves in the league.

But:  assuming that you're correct, and a baseball park gives a player -23 in one year and another baseball park gives him +7 in the next ... well, that's my argument.
UZR isn't an absolute:  it's warped radically by playing conditions.

I agree with Blengino that UZR is a good starting point.  What I argue is that it isn't the ending point for a dogmatic evaluation.
