Rays optimal batting order?

By Tangotiger, 03:19 PM

It would be more useful to see the forecasted wOBA for each hitter against each hand.  Then we can discuss the assumed talent that went into the thinking behind the order.  As it stands, without that, the reader has to assume his own talent levels, thereby making your own conclusions moot.

I’d love to see this done with more teams.  I think a month or two ago, someone did the Cubs and Cards?

We did it over at ACB for the Cubs and did it by pitcher handedness, link:

That work had already been done by Jason Hanselman from Dock of the Rays...I believe you linked to his work earlier this off-season. PGP was merely building off that.
