New offensive statistic additions today... CR%- and AVG-
by: Rob Reed
| January 8, 2009, 3:52pm
|       |
I have now added the capability to reverse search contact rate and batting average. This creates the following stat search scenarios that I think are VERY valuable for your fantasy analysis:
---
CR% + BABIP- (low to high) + AVG- (low to high) = find players who made a lot of contact with the ball but who suffered from bad luck, meaning they might be good options for increased AVG next year
CR% + BABIP- (low to high) + AVG = find players who did well in AVG, but who could do even better next year with some increased luck
CR%- (low to... [read more] |
Revisiting BABIP's value...

There's a naysayer of the BABIP statistic's use in fantasy baseball, who posted his hatred for the stat on facebook today - Fantasy Baseball Search's Todd Farino.
http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php#/note.php?note_id=48168451282
Here is my response:
Interesting, but needs substance with examples of why BABIP doesn't work... I used to agree... until I actually looked at examples last year.
There are far more (and better) examples of a high BABIP (considering career BABIP) with low contact rate that could have predicted a bad average the following year than vice versa... (In 2007-2008, I can show you: Magglio Ordonez, Jose Vidro, Mike Lowell... I could go on -- looking at... [read more] |
Tale of Two Seasons #3: Does this guy qualify as "sleeper" for next year?

I can reveal to you right off the bat that this week's TOT is an outfielder, and this guessing game will still be difficult (unless, of course, you were a regular listener of the baseballgeeks.com podcast last year until the hiatus in late June).
This 28-year old has had some really amazing games, including two seven-RBI games in 2006, each played for different teams within the same season.
In 2007, he only played in 66 games due to a recurring hamstring injury that kept him out for one long, two-month stint. But, in these 66 games, this player was so good that... [read more] |
PLAYERtrack's MPP's for 12-29-08 to 1-5-09

The following players are the most viewed player profiles (MPP = Most Popular Players) on the PLAYERtrack site for the week starting early 12-29-08 and ending early 1-5-09.
These rankings are a general indication of players who are generating high interest among baseball fans/fantasy players as these rankings are substantially the result of search engine searches (from google, etc.) that requested information on these players.
01. Johan Santana 02. Chris Iannetta 03. Ryan Doumit (9th last week) 04. Brett Gardner 05. Joba Chamberlain (6th last week) 06. Rich Harden (3rd last week) 07. CC Sabathia (1st last week) 08. Manny Ramirez 09. Chris Davis (4th last week) 10. Matt Wieters (10th last... [read more] |
Playing around with the design...

Please bear with me while I play around with the design... should be completed with the new design of the site some time tomorrow. I also plan to do a podcast in the next few days, as well as add the ability to search FIP and BABIP for pitchers from best to worst and from worst to first.
Some of the CSS stuff is messy right now. Will be fixed tomorrow.

TOTS Tuesday: Tale of Two Seasons #2
by: Rob Reed
| December 30, 2008, 12:08am
|       |
Happy New Year! The "Tale of Two Seasons" column will occur every Tuesday, where I will look at two straight seasons of a player's stats, and you guess who I am talking about...
In this week's Tale of Two Seasons, I focus on a 2008 stud rather than the goat that was Aaron Rowand in 2008.
In 2007, this TOT had a major crash and burn to his batting average -- a full 6.3% drop (.270, from .333). He had a power drop of 6 HRs and 1 RBI from 2006 to 2007, although he had 82 more ABs in... [read more] |
