DIPS, Regressing Sample Stats, and Projecting Players

By

I came across an old article I wrote about how to regress sample stats for pitchers and batters (and how that relates to DIPS). The “method” I used to come up with the regression coefficients (for various levels of PA or TBF) was crude (trial and error - we know of better methods now), but the concepts in the article are valuable. I thought it was worth re-reading or reading for the first time.
