Is The Year Of The Great Fielder?

Below are the current top 18, through yesterday. The four from this year are in red. But at Baseball Reference, the league average, if I understand things correctly, has to be zero. That would mean that someone else has to be especially negative for these guys to be so high. Should they still have the high rank see here? I am not sure.
