The good news.  At least you haven't changed your position of zone
ratings.
Now the bad news.  Your contention that Roberto Alomar's zone rating
would increase and the fact that it did increase hardly constitutes proof
that the increase was due to the factors you cited.  I believe that
somebody mentioned early in the season that Alomar had moved two steps
to his right.
The increase in Alomar's zone rating also supports the contention that
he was mispositioned while while playing in Toronto.
Happy Modeming -- David
