.265/.395/.520

Anyway, as I was lying in the puddle, I think I may have found a way for us to get Bonds and Griffey, and we wouldn't have to give up that much.

I posted this once before but the thread dropped off the front page very quickly

Can we do this for pitchers? With the triple crown stats? Well, wins don’t really prove anything so maybe we can do K’s, ERA and……something

Maybe for pitchers

IP, Ks, BBs? I guess I wouldn’t mind guessing ERAs, even though they’re flukey.

IP and ERA (or FIP).

Those are enough to project value.

Please not wins.

You're KO'ing position players

and doing pitchers. Something is wrong with you Tommy. Seek help.

Is anyone coming up with a community average of these things?

I imagine the means come back pretty nice looking.

I was thinking the same thing

Not only that, but if there is a way to distribute at bats among all the projections and possibly get a rough estimate of how many runs our projections would result in. That would be cool. I think we should do projections for anyone who stands a good chance of contributing this year, ditribute the at bats among them appropriately, and see how many runs our projections would result in.

Yeah, I am.

I have Aki, B.J.,and Evan done. I had a pretty graph too.

Sweet

Would you be able, as Bossman suggested, derive WAR out of that. If not we could always go back and put how many HR’s and RBI’s we think they will have.

This is essentially what I did in my two posts

It can be done by just taking 1.75*OBP+SLG/3 and using that instead of OBA.

by rglass44 on Jan 8, 2009 3:02 PM EST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yes, we should be.

Using a rather rough method of pulling wOBA out of OPS.

.268/.396/.555

Just your average .950 OPS season.

Giving Aybar some time at first on days when lefties are pitching might not be a bad idea. Pena still had basically a 1.000 OPS against RHP in 08, lefties were the problem. Although looking at the splits he had a .250BABIP against lefties in 08’, so maybe he’s do for some positive regression.

by twenty5psi on Jan 8, 2009 2:58 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

.280/.400/.600

I think he gets 135 starts and a lot of rest against lefties, hence the improved numbers.

The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.

.260/.380/.530

Basically last year with a bump for no injury. Which matches his Marcel pretty closely.

Does anyone think Pena might be a second-half player?

2007 Pre-allstar: .287/.395/.609
2007 Post-allstar: .277/.424/.642

2008 Pre-allstar: .236/.340/.438
2008 Post-allstar: .260/.418/.561

Career Pre-allstar: .241/.337/.451
Career Post-alstar: .260/.370/.534

Further, August has always been his best month(.283/.400/.603), hitting 26% of his career home runs that month and over 50% of his career home runs the last two months of the season. However, he has also recieved the most at bats those months (42% of career at bats).

Just a thought.

by BossmanJunior333 on Jan 8, 2009 7:10 PM EST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well his first half in 07 wasn't exactly slump-like.

Carlos is at his best when he is taking pitches and seeing the ball well, I think part of it was he was feeling the pressure of his new contract and was being to aggressive at the plate and his hand injury didn’t help matters. Just lead to an under-performing first half. If he sticks to his hitting approach and stays healthy, his 08’ second half is probably a good measure of what he could do over the couse of 2009.
