FYI all

Prob don’t care, but Aceves came from Mexican League (like Jake, he couldn’t cut it there), signed as FA in offseason, pitched at A, AA, AAA this season before recent callup.

Pretty effective in the minors, could he be worse than Rasner or Ponson?

Did we ever figure out if the use of Regression on this site is appropriate?

I.E. Aybar regressing to the mean indicates that he’ll improve his stats?

by kericr on Sep 4, 2008 9:32 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Mean is the middle

If you regress towards the mean, it just means you move closer to the middle.

Vogt early, Vogt often.

by Brickhaus on Sep 4, 2008 9:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

how is it correct?

you could think of it as from “regression to the mean”, which means moving the measure of data closer to the mean, thereby removing noise and reducing sample error. you can move data that’s above the mean or below the mean towards the mean.

you could also define regression as movement towards expectation.

by Sky Kalkman on Sep 4, 2008 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I am either confused, or see confusion in the use of that term within that scope.

Regression in statistical analysis is a measurement of the relationship between a set of values when compared to appropriate independent variables, but having your stats balance towards the mean indicates movement, which if you’re moving towards the mean in a positive fashion, the term ‘regression’ seems inappropriate, as that is a backwards movement from the initial visual outcome. To me, when talking about a shift in statistical balance forward in relation to the mean, ‘progression’ seems more appropriate.

by kericr on Sep 4, 2008 9:42 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Also

‘negative regression’ also seems like an appropriate use of a double-negative here.

However

in this case, it gives a pretty good history of the term. It’s easier than pulling out my college statistics books. In any case, the term regression makes complete sense.

by Brickhaus on Sep 4, 2008 9:54 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

i agree that regression commonly implies getting worse

how about this dumb analogy — a regression equation takes input data and spits out an expectation. when you say a player is going to regress, their input data spits out a future expectation that their results will tend towards.

Hughes isn't really a failure

he had broken ribs. i agree Kennedy was overhyped as a prospect, but should still be a decent 4th or 5th

by Sky Kalkman on Sep 4, 2008 9:48 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Plus Kennedy's tRA is better than Edwin's.

Hughes is high, but one bad season doesn’t make him a failure.

by R.J. Anderson on Sep 4, 2008 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I never claimed either was a success.

But to be a Rays fan and call a young pitcher a failure at this point in their career seems pretty ridiculous.

by R.J. Anderson on Sep 4, 2008 9:53 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I agree

But there just seems to be an excessive amount of enthusiasm for the guy. I’ve seen 1/3 a year of pretty good pitching followed by a year of not so much. My contention is that the Yankees made a dire mistake trying to count on him with Kennedy to handle the #2 and #3 spots in their rotation.

by kericr on Sep 4, 2008 9:57 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

#3 and #4 spots, with Joba

and it would have been for one year of Santana. when they sign CC this off-season (which they wouldn’t have done if Santana was signed long term) they’ll have a Santana-like pitcher AND Hughes and Kennedy.

by Sky Kalkman on Sep 4, 2008 10:04 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

that's not the question

assuming the Yankees sign CC, he fills their Santana-type for 2009 through 2015.

so the question is Santana for 2008 or Hughes/Kennedy for 2008-2013

by Sky Kalkman on Sep 4, 2008 10:08 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I would say they made the right decision in not pulling the trigger on that trade

But then they went and traded prospects for Nady, so my answer would be no, Sanatana for 2008 would have been better than Hughes/Kennedy for 2008-2013 because the Yanks are solely and exclusively consumed with a win now at any cost mentality.

by kericr on Sep 4, 2008 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Way late so this won't be seen

but you are completely incorrect. Letting your anti-NYY feelings rule over analysis.

Look at what NY did in their pen this season – Veras, Ramirez, have important roles. Bruney didn’t start with NY but was picked up on waivers. Britton was acquired by trading a castoff (Jaret Wright). Hawkins was signed but dumped. Main FA acquisition of recent past (resigning Mo doesn’t count – we keep our own we like) Farnsworth was dished. Have seen guys like trade acquisition Albaladejo (hurt like every other pitcher), and promos Robertson and Coke. Yes they signed or traded for guys (Marte) to fill holes. But that’s exactly what the Rays have done.

And your point about Santana directly contradicts the win now at all costs point. As RJ suggests, the jury is still out.

Yanks AA club went up 2-0 against Sox affilate. Buchholz started, went 6, 3ER, ND.

In AAA, Pawtucket squared series at 1. Kennedy went 7, 2ER, lost for Yanks. They released Jason Lane (from Astros) 2 weeks ago, he signed with Sox, drove in 2 of 3 runs tonight. Guess he was pissed.

Oof

He was safe by quite a bit, I’m suprised he beat the tag that bad; that was a really good throw.

I'm still pissed about that Bradford deal

Shame on us and the Sox. Any speculation on the PTBNL.

What pissed me off was McPhail’s comment about needing to see some other pitchers. I knew Rocky Cherry sucked, why doesn’t he?

How fat does Britton look today?

He’s never gotten a fair shot in NY this season or last. Think he reminded Torre and Girardi of their former less svelte physiques

Whoa holy shit

What's depressing you about his "speech"?

Aikman and Bradshaw?

Please. They are in the same league as Trent Dilfer and Jim McMahon as QBs who were taken to the SB by great Defenses and great Running Games.

Just giving the guy his wish and asking what has deal was.

Don’t really give a damn about talking about it.

Aikman and Bradshaw?

Bedard is having another surgery on his throwing shoulder, all but ending his season and perhaps his time with Seattle. Manager Don Wakamatsu said Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2009, that Bedard will have exploratory surgery on Friday in Los Angeles with Dr. Lewis Yocum, who removed a cyst from Bedard's shoulder in September.
