Article for THT Annual 2011

By Tangotiger, 04:10 PM

Did I mention that I submitted my article to Dave last week for the upcoming annual?  It’s called: THREE THINGS I FINALLY DECIDED TO FINISH RESEARCHING.  I thought I mentioned it, but I don’t see a blog post on it.

Anyway, those things are:
1. The secret to a low average on balls in play
2. Yankees without Mariano Rivera
3. Does a bad season at an old age mean something more than at a young age?

That last one was Jeter-inspired.  I had alotta fun doing the research, and there’s some good takeaways. 

Buy the book when it comes out.  I’ve been contributing an article for each annual for the last 4 years.  I’ve been doing it mostly because I like Dave, and I want to support the best sabermetric-centric book around.  Hopefully, more saberists will pick up the mantle, because it’s getting harder to find things I can publicly research.
