My first impression is positive, but if I'm seeing things correctly, outfield assists are absolutely crazy. There are guys getting 50+ in a season?! Wth?! Can someone verify my eyes and brain are not deceiving me about this? Alex Gordon is about as good as anyone has been the last couple decades I think and 20 is his max (and will probably never approach that again because he's tested far less now). Before him Jesse Barfield had a cannon and didn't nail more than 22, and even Roberto Clemente only had a max of 27 for a season.

Makes me think there was an issue or an adjustment that was made. Its something that's probably a little tough to control. Managers can choose kamikaze base running settings. If a few do that in the same league, numbers might be abnormal. Stadium size also has an influence I think.
