Offense/Defense Number (Part Two)

Last installment, we looked at infielders who were the most balanced two-way players in a season, using the idea behind Bill James' Power/Speed Number (taking the harmonic mean of homers and steals, which weights the lesser number significantly) to make an Offense/Defense number (harmonic mean of Batting and Fielding Win Shares). It generated a fair bit of discussion about who would make the outfield lists, and so I'm proud to give the outfielders and catchers this time around.
