Linear Weights Ratio, Total Average, Estimated Runs Produced…

By Tangotiger, 10:49 AM

Studes checks in with a quick way to evaluate a seasonal batting line.  For you Thomas Boswell fans, it’s basically a weighted version of Total Average.  It also mimics my Linear Weights Ratio, but uses better-to-remember weights (if you take my numbers and multiply by 3, you get close to Studes’ numbers).  And, for you Paul Johnson fans, Studes’ weights are the same as Estimated Runs Produced

Basically, all of us offer some form of Linear Weights, in about as an easy form as we can.  You have bases on one side and outs on the other.
