Peter Gammons is citing range factor in every other sentence on Baseball Tonight. Hmmm. He's the one who said all the sabermetric criticism of Derek Jeter's defense was hogwash just a year ago, and now he's lauding players like Orlando Cabrera for having a great range factor.
Well, at least he's a learner, albeit slow. Someone with his visibility (rhymes with senility, often noticeable in his sentence structure) can only help illuminate the masses even if it's reflected wisdom. He has jumped on the OPS bandwagon--perhaps he'll be onto zone rating next.
