Analyzing the Fans’ Scouting Report: Arms

By Tangotiger, 11:40 AM

John Walsh gives the Fans’ Scouting Report a once and twice over to see how well the Fans line up to his OF Arms system.  Great job by John, and I’d love for someone to take on the Fans’ Speed numbers against their own Speed Score system.

One very tiny note: in the “Most underrated arms”, John shows Cuddyer and Francoeur, even though they ranked extremely high by the Fans.  The trend line that John uses tops out at around +5 runs.  Since these players were at +10 or +11 runs using John’s system, they had no hope but to be “underrated”.  That’s just a very tiny observation, though, and is not a criticism.  Otherwise, great work overall.  Just the kind of thing that needs to be done.
