“The Most Interesting Statement I Read Today”

By Tangotiger

This is what JC said in regards to a study he read, where the authors proclaim:

The [Hierarchical Linear] Model shows that teams do not pay differently for individual player statistics. That is, the New York Yankees pay the same for OBP, SLG, and fielding percentages as do the Kansas City Royals, once we control for other variables.

Vindication for my linear WAR model!

I’ll try to find a downloadable version for you guys, unless someone beats me to it.
