Leave Maicer Alone!

[Arkadium]

Not only does he have the lowest BABIP on our team, but of players with at least 150 PA he has the 6th lowest BABIP in the AL and the 3rd lowest SO% in the AL. Without the bad luck Maicer is a totally defensible everyday second baseman batting at the bottom of the line-up. He should provide you with 2 to 3 WAR per season.

Stop making threads mutherf***er!

BABIP is not luck. To determine if a player is lucky or not requires a full comparison of his LD/GB/FB/HR/SO/BB/etc rates against league averages. I guarantee you that if I joined the MLB right now I would have an atrociously low BABIP because I would be making terrible contact, just like Izturis (probably) has.

 

I will leave it to someone else to do the actual analysis though

Jays could use some incredibly average players right now, we're 10 games under .500 for gods sake.

Give him some credit, he's having an unlucky couple months

xBABIP = (( GB – IFH ) * (GB-IFH constant) + (FB-HR-IFFB) * (OFFB Constant) + LD * (LD Constant) + IFH + BUH ) / (GB + FB + LD + BU + – HR – SH)

xBABIP

 

What exactly is this?

[Wilnercibia]

What exactly is this?

 

A guy with 3000 posts doesn't know?

[TheHurl]

What exactly is this?

 

an updated formula for expected BABIP. Traditional xBABIP would be xBABIP = 0.392 + (LD% x 0.287709436) + ((GB% – (GB% * IFH%)) x -0.152 ) + ((FB% – (FB% x HR/FB%) – (FB% x IFFB%)) x -0.188) + ((IFFB% * FB%) x -0.835) + ((IFH% * GB%) x 0.500)

Infielders like Isturis are a dime a dozen. So why did Beeston or AA give him a three year contract?
