THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball

You might need to contact some of the players’ family members to get more Pirates data, especially once football season starts. I can’t even watch them anymore.

Thank you Whitesox fans… you are now off the hook.

Pirates and A’s fan came in as well.  Just five more teams and we should be good.

Tango, thanks for conducting this, as alway.  I just noticed that the averages in the position tables don’t match the averages displayed on the team page and full list.  They former tends to be .1 to .2 higher among the players I looked at, though I did see one lower as well.

Not sure if this is an adjustment I wasn’t aware of, a back-end formula error, or just a timing issue with when those tables are getting updated.

Rick/4, if I remember right, the positions page averages include position-specific weightings (3B’s get a bonus for arm, 2B’s a bonus for range) on each of the skills.  The other pages do not.

Thanks Justin, that makes sense—and explains why Stubbs benefits so much from the adjustment given his foot speed and its importance for a CF.

Justin is correct.  I should note that on those pages.
