I know what you're talking about, but can't fine it either.

Just use Dean's (charts towards the bottom) and get more accurate count

I think these are the droids you're looking for...

UPDATE: After reading the follow-up posts, I guess I should change my opening remark to:

These aren't the droids you're looking for...

Take Dean's. Baseball factory chart is loaded of mistakes and doesn't consider double-plays, which are so important. Only mistake from Dean's is ss e4 and ss e5 are set as equal when they should not.

Also, Dean's chart doesn't consider arm rating for outfielders. A rule of thumb I suggest:

for LF: add arm rating*0.25
for RF: add arm rating*0.4
for CF: add arm rating*0.75

(thus, when arm rating is negative, you substract)

Arm modifiers are a nice add on, borrowing that Marc!

Looking at the chart below--looks like its about 16 errors with super advanced chart at 2B--though better range fielders will turn a few more DP.

http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/btf ... dg.htm#top

A 3e10 2B allows 27.7 OPS card chances per game, a 2e26 allows 27.8---if you have the strategy guide, add the OB and Total bases of a player (which gives OPS in card chances), subtract the fielding OPS allowed, to compare players.

The think factory ratings are good for the infield--but the OF ratings are off in my opinion, they are correct for 1 outfielders with any error rating, and across the top for 2 through 5 with no errors, but are worse than they should be for the 2 trough 5 guys with errors.
