All Rob Neyer, All the time
Here are a series of excellent Rob Neyer posts in just the last couple of days. I’ll highlight just two:
Talking about the positional adjustments. It’s a great discussion, and certainly for those who are new to this whole positional adjustment thing, he asks all the right questions.
Then, comparing valuations of JC and me on Ibanez, and then JC and MGL posting in the comments section. JC makes this statement:
Academics are not always right, but I believe the checks ensure they are more likely to reach correct conclusions than informal online discussions.
I’m not sure why the comparison group is the “informal online discussions”. What about the articles you find at Hardball Times website and their annual? What about The Book? What about the great research from PITCHf/x websites? When it comes to the advancement of baseball analysis, the peer-reviewed research of academia is nowhere near the top of the list.
