• Ladies and stat nerds unite: in celebration of F-Gut!

  
  Ladies... — Authority: 435
  Stat-nerds have been falling all over themselves in adoration of Franklin Gutierrez’s astounding CF defense , which is so stunningly awesome that the Mariners are hanging on to him for four more years . But don’t leave the F-Gut lovin’ to the statheads* – he’s someone the Ladies… can appreciate as well. ...

  THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball — Authority: 491
  This is a numbers/toy-driven post.  There is no insight here other than seeing how you can play with numbers in a meaningful way.  That is, I show that when you add and multiply and divide numbers, there’s a reason for it.  I also talk about a new Bill James stat.

• Park factors: Yankee3 v Citi

  
  THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball — Authority: 491
  In a great article in Hardball Times annual, Greg looks at the batted balls at the new Yankee Stadium and Citi.  The interesting finding is that while Yankee Stadium turns long flyballs into HR, it also turns almost-long flyballs into outs.  Citi field however turns almost-long flyballs into hits.  So, this would ...

• Hall of Merit

  
  THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball — Authority: 491
  What Sky proposes has pretty much been established by Hall of Merit.  While HoM operates on elect-2 and elect-3, Sky is going with elect-1 and elect-2.  Otherwise, it’s pretty much the same framework (unless I’m missing something).Personally, I would go for eligibility by birth year: once you turn 45, you are ...

  THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball — Authority: 491
  BtB is launching sabermetric awards.  For those of you old enough to remember “The Primeys”, Baseball Primer did the same thing for 2 or 3 years.  A catchy name would be nice.  Anyway, Reds’ Justin seems to be in charge.Upcoming threads will be launched where you can submit your nominations.

  Steven in the BPro comments wrote:Two things at work in the player comments as far as the fielding metrics: Christina and I encourage the writers to debate with the stats (all the stats) where appropriate. Second, I’m not really satisfied with any one fielding metric and consult a range of them, and I know the ...

• BDD: Red Sox, Beltre Can Thank Phillies

  
  crashburnalley.com — Authority: 124
  At Baseball Daily Digest, I explain why both the Boston Red Sox and recent signee Adrian Beltre can thank the Phillies for the pact:Due to the Phillies quickly signing Polanco to a below-market deal (and Seattle’s signing of Chone Figgins coming shortly thereafter), the price tag on Beltre was effectively lowered ...

• Non-stathead Chronicles - Bleed Cubbie Blue

  
  THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball — Authority: 491
  (Note: I quite enjoy these.  I encourage all non-statheads to send me tough questions.  Give me at least five questions, and preferably at least 10.  The tougher the better.  Whatever it is that drives you batty.  I’ll try to make some sense so we can move forward.  These questions from Cubbie-Tim seem pretty ...

  The post:We’ve added some of the best minds out there to meet these goals. You’ve already seen their work in the past month here at BP, and their names should already be familiar to many of you.

  THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball — Authority: 491
  have your teams squeak into the playoffs and win the World Series, or destroy all comers in the regular season and get bounced in the first round?  This is what RJ is asking regarding the Mariners’ 116 win season.In the NHL, I had the fortune of being at game 2 and game 5 (the clincher) of the Canadiens’ 1993 Cup ...

• Vazquez Most Likely to Throw No-No

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 146
  Back in October John Dewan’s “Stat of the Week” listed the 10 most likely pitchers to throw a no hitter, courtesy of the Bill James 2010 Handbook. Basically the stat factors in career strikeout and double- play rate. Three pitchers, Jon Lester, Jonathan Sanchez, and Justin Verlander already have thrown a ...

• Changng “stuff” by number of pitches thrown

  
  THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball — Authority: 491
  Good job by Jeremy.  I’d like to see it by “times through the order” rather than “number of pitches thrown”, as The Book seems to indicate a fairly sharp change on that basis, rather than the smooth one we’d expect.

• Neyer on Raines

  
  THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball — Authority: 491
  Neyer:By the existing standards of the Hall of Fame, 4,000 times on base is a lot of times on base. Granted, Raines did not reach base 4,000 times; he reached base 3,977 times. According to Baseball-Reference.com, Raines SAFELY reached base on error 99 times, while Retrosheet.org reports it as 103.  In either case, ...

  THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball — Authority: 491
  Where do you see advanced metrics in 10 years? Fad? Major part of a front office operation? Replace traditional scouting? Fad?  You haven’t seen anything yet.  Wait until PITCHf/x, FIELDf/x, and HITf/x take shape.  You will wish and pray to get back to the simpler times of 2000s.  The 2010s will bring an ...

  THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball — Authority: 491
  Do you think advanced metrics real value is creating better Fantasy Game Products.  I personally think it would be the best way to monetize the industry on a higher level. Their “real” value?  They have real value to the front offices of MLB.  They also have real value to Gamers as well.  They have value to ...
