In this podcast mini, I discuss why the player making more errors may actually be the better defender.

• Errors are actually a pretty poor way to look at defense
• What you should be looking at instead of errors alone
• Why UZR, a stat used in Major League Baseball, probably isn't very effective for amateur teams
• How you can create your own "UZR" chart
