Well, I'm still lost. Bank's "official" OOTP career infield ratings (range-error-arm-dp) are:
77-98-71-69. This equals a bad (red) 5 rating at SS on the 1-100 scale. Not just bad, but basically unplayable at SS.
But if you take the average of each of Bank's infield ratings for each season, you get:
86-130-99-83. This results in a poor (orange) 26 rating at SS.
The root mean square (rms) for those same values is:
99-135-106-92. This results in a mediocre (yellow) 34 rating at SS.
If you weight each season's infield ratings by his actual infield innings played for those seasons (which makes sense), the average becomes:
90-130-101-84. The poor (orange) rating improves slightly to 28 at SS.
If you weight the rms by innings played, you get:
102-136-108-93. Still mediocre (yellow) 36 rating at SS.
All of these are poor ratings at SS for someone who played regularly at the position, but I guess it's understandable since his career ratings would be dragged down by his many years at 1B.
But even so, all of them are vastly better defensively than the OOTP calculated career ratings for Banks, so my conclusion is that I am way off the mark in deciphering how they are calculated.
