PMR, 3B
Here's Pinto. David is now giving us the data utilizing distance exclusively, so what we see here is only what I called the "Alternative Method" for past positions.

Per a comment I received, I'm also reducing the decimals. I used to have it carried out to four -- no real reason, I just figured more info was better, and if anyone wanted to use this, they could round it off any way they wanted. But I do agree that carrying it out to less looks better, and given the fact that this is all an estimate, anyway, I don't believe that any accuracy is lost.
                  Alternative Method
Player Runs Above Average
Total Per 350 Opp
Joe Crede 30.8 27.1
Pedro Feliz 22.5 20.1
Brandon Inge 21.0 15.3
Adrian Beltre 17.9 15.9
Freddy Sanchez 15.3 20.1
Scott Rolen 14.6 13.7
Mike Lowell 13.6 11.6
Ryan Zimmerman 13.6 13.0
David Bell 10.3 10.8
Morgan Ensberg 9.6 12.2
Maicer Izturis 8.4 17.2
Eric Chavez 7.0 6.9
Corey Koskie 5.6 10.7
Miguel Cabrera 5.2 5.3
Andy Marte 4.2 10.7
Nick Punto 3.8 6.3
Willy Aybar 2.7 9.3
Vinny Castilla 1.9 4.3
Chad Tracy 1.0 1.0
Hank Blalock 0.7 0.9
Melvin Mora -0.5 -0.4
B.J. Upton -1.4 -4.3
Mark DeRosa -1.7 -6.1
Abraham Nunez -1.9 -3.6
Troy Glaus -2.3 -2.5
David Wright -2.4 -2.3
Chipper Jones -2.4 -3.4
Mark Teahen -2.6 -3.1
Aramis Ramirez -2.9 -3.0
Wilson Betemit -3.7 -8.9
Alex Rodriguez -7.0 -7.2
Tony Batista -8.0 -22.6
Aubrey Huff -8.6 -14.8
Rich Aurilia -8.9 -27.7
E. Encarnacion -10.8 -14.2
Aaron Boone -11.4 -17.0
Garrett Atkins -14.3 -13.3
Again, I'll compare this to runs derived from zone rating, despite the fact that zone rating does not count balls in the air for infielders:
Player            ZR-R   PMR-2   Diff
Aaron Boone -4 -11 7
Adrian Beltre 11 18 7
Alex Rodriguez -8 -7 1
Aramis Ramirez -4 -3 1
Brandon Inge 20 21 1
Chad Tracy 0 1 1
Chipper Jones -4 -2 2
David Wright -10 -2 8
David Bell 0 10 10
E. Encarnacion -10 -11 1
Eric Chavez 0 7 7
Freddy Sanchez 5 15 10
Garrett Atkins -5 -14 9
Hank Blalock 1 1 0
Joe Crede 8 31 23
Maicer Izturis -3 8 11
Mark Teahen -7 -3 4
Melvin Mora -4 -1 4
Miguel Cabrera -12 5 17
Mike Lowell 14 14 0
Morgan Ensberg 9 10 1
Nick Punto 8 4 4
Pedro Feliz 11 23 12
Ryan Zimmerman 1 14 13
Scott Rolen 5 15 10
Troy Glaus -7 -2 5
The correlation between the two methods for these players is .76, which is surpsingly high (to me, anyway).
