OTTOTD 11/12: I'll keep it simple edition



Seriously:

1) The Magic got beat bad yesterday, Discuss

2) Jamaal Charles or Lesean Mccoy

3) Here's a fun little site to track Aaron Rodger's sacks.

4) Link to World's most powerful people, Definitely not R.J Anderson

5) I never knew J.R Smith's real name was Earl.

 

6) Who saw Paranormal Activity?

7) Link to some great places to see

8) I need nine more words to make this post.

by Some other guy who does not care on Nov 12, 2009 3:16 PM EST up reply actions  

Is this the right way to do it?

Take the remaining players at the position and weight their % of the new total playing time. Then divide RAA/games played * 162 * % of playing time>?

Follow Me on Twitter @FreeZorilla

by FreeZorilla on Nov 12, 2009 3:45 PM EST up reply actions  

I would find his splits by position on B-ref, subtract that out from the positional offensive statistics,

and then either pro-rate the rest of the games at league average or just leave them out and figure the wOBA based on the new (lower) number of plate appearances. I think this makes sense, but I may have missed a step.

by Andy Hellicksonstine on Nov 12, 2009 3:47 PM EST up reply actions  

you can get RAA on fangraphs by position

Just use the position filter while on the team setting

by FreeZorilla on Nov 12, 2009 3:51 PM EST up reply actions  

That's an option, I found it easier to do it team-wide the way I did

No park adjustments, it’s a WIP, but I probably won’t do that unless this turns into something bigger than on a whim.

Just taking out Zobie, without prorating I've got this for the new wOBA's

25.5
33.6
10.1
-9.5

Total -3.3 15.5 9.3 -4.4 0.5

I emailed you the original book and now I’m sending over this one if you feel like pro-rating a league average player in. Zobrist was the only guy to play 2B and hit a dinger last year, crazy.

by Andy Hellicksonstine on Nov 12, 2009 4:15 PM EST up reply actions  

at 2B I came up with a non-park adjsuted wRAA of 4.03 without Zo

I used each players total wRAA/total PA. I then figured out each players % of non-Zo PAs at 2nd base and applied that to the full teams 2B PA. I then multiplied this figure by the wRAA/PA. Team wRAA at 2B without Zo came out to 4.03. This figure would need to be park adjusted to do it correctly.

I’m sitting in the living room still as a painting praying neither the 2 month old or the 3 year old wake up until Mrs. FreeZo gets home from Girls Night Out. 3 yr old would be fine except there would be a 0% chance of her not waking the baby.

Holy Geez

I just went over to the 49ers blog, cuz I still can’t figure out who I’m gonna pick tonight, and one of the writers over there referenced this site www.profootballfocus.com I just visited for a minute but it seems crazy. They evaluate every player on every play of every game. It is the mother lode.

yeah, it is nice

It seems to take them awhile to get the games up though. They still don’t have the evaluation of the TB/GB game on there, so who knows how long it takes? I can imagine quite awhile to go through all that film on every single player.

That is a nice bit of info

but he was dead wrong on Harrell and Daniel. Either the LCF is baloney or those guys will make a Kurt Warner-like resurgence in the NFL one day.

Funny that Stafford and Sanchez are both listed in tier 3 and Freeman is not even listed.

Of course, the LCF could be right and the scouts could just be dumb. It’s not like Stafford or Sanchez have set the world on fire yet.
