Forecasting likelihood of starting pitchers being injured

By Tangotiger, 07:51 PM

Fantastic stuff from Jeff: part1, part2.

First off, the mean forecast for any starter is 40%.  So, Jeff’s got his forecasts, at the extreme, at +/- 15%.  I have to believe the uncertainty of his estimate is going to be mighty high, some +/-20%.

Secondly, the median stay is some 50 days or so.

Conclusion: pitchers are expected to miss ALOT of time.
