No idea, but I find that rather impossible. I know 2 seasons ago The Fielding Bible had Cano, Jeter, and Matsui(and Bernie) all bottom 2 at their position.
Dial's ratings have almost all of their players well below average :

Well, I think we can all agree that Matsui and Jeter aren't the best at their position... not even close.
Cano is still developing, I'm not ready to write him off yet.
That said, we should be careful when using defensive metrics, for the obvious reasons we all know.
