Relative League Strength

By Tangotiger, 10:12 AM

Rally looks at the relative strength of each league by looking at players that move league-to-league.  But, instead of looking at the players in-season, or season-to-season, he looks at decade-to-decade.

I have some concerns, especially if age-wise, the movement is biased and there are no age adjustments.  That’s why in-season works so well.  That also means the sample size kills you, as Rally is noting.  In any case, it’s an interesting way to look at it, especially if you can handle the potential age bias.
