Russell Martin Is No Longer Like Bobby Grich

In November I wrote a story on the similarity scores for Dodger players as listed by baseball-reference.com.  In the comments, Phil Gurnee thought it odd that Russell Martin had non-catchers in his list and when I double-checked the formula, it didn't make sense to me either, so I filed a bug report with baseball-reference.  They agreed that there was a bug and fixed it; score one for Phil.

I finally got around to checking the new lists and the only changes are to the lists of similar players for Russell Martin, Casey Blake, and Rafael Furcal.  The corrected lists appear below.  The first link above is to the original article, which now contains the corrected tables as well as the original incorrect ones.  I just couldn't bear to erase something linking Russell Martin to Bobby Grich.
