Was Samad Taylor considered too prospecty?

 

Sort of. Seemed to me like he already got enough hype during 2018, at least relative to his overall production which was fairly pedestrian. He was on everybody's breakout prediction list before the year, right? In terms of production and profile he's comparable to Riley Adams who, for whatever reason, I don't really recall being part of the prospect discussion all that much. I could have worked him in though and made the argument this his peripherals were stronger than his actual slash line.

:cool:

 

If you’re sick of people telling you Cavan Biggio whiffs too much and you want one extremely cherry-picked historic AA hitting comparison, check out 2016 Matt Chapman, who walked and struck out at 11.7% and 29.2% clips respectively while hitting for big power in AA. Biggio had 17.8% and 26.3% marks, so slightly better than the 2018 AL MVP candidate, with an ISO only 0.029 points lower.

Just wanted to say this this is great content that's every bit as good as the best Jays content available elsewhere. You guys are crushing it.

Out of curiosity, did you end up reading the published version of my statistics article?

Yup. I liked the choices you made to end it where you did and move the other pieces to a second article.

If any of you here happen to be Twitter/marketing whizzes, I'd love to hear a couple of tips, either right here in thread or via PM, about some things we can do to reach a broader audience in 2019. I would be forever indebted to you.

Common sense tactics:

 

- tweet out articles / podcasts multiple times and in different ways

- use visuals - pictures and gifs get more engagement on twitter than just text and links

- tweet as a human sometimes, it doesn't have to always be a tweet from the blog promoting an article or podcast

- "engage" - use hashtags and @ people, reply to tweets, etc.

--> especially people in the community you want to engage with. Don't be scared to tweet an article from another blog to promote them too.

You currently have 41 Twitter followers. A quick search shows a few other random Jays blogs with around 1,000 followers - likely because they’ve been around much longer.

 

If you’re serious about making a go of it you need to massively increase your presence. Post on the Jays subreddit, as much as we make fun of them they have a big community - 40,000 subscribers plus the millions of general Reddit users who might pop in every now and then.

 

Follow anyone and everyone on Twitter that’s linked to the Jays including all the players, prospects, and journalists and include them on tweets when you think it’s relevant. They probably won’t even see it but people searching for those accounts will.

 

This board isn’t popular enough to drive many subscribers on its own. You need to have people who aren’t part of this board getting interesting in the thoughts and reflections of a bunch of anonymous guys who aren’t former players or professional journalists. So unless you pay money for marketing the only way you’re going to get more popular is by virtual word of mouth and name recognition.

You could probably find some courses on a site like udemy (they have them on cheap right now). Just look for something highly rated, with lots of content in the course. It's also a great place to get courses to learn Python, R, or anything else you want to learn about.

Cumulative Z-Scores for low-A hitters in the MWL and NYPL.

 

https://www.radioscouts.com/blog/stat-scouting-the-minors-z-scores-for-low-a-hitters

 

Nothing too technical, but it's a bit better than eyeballing the leaders since the Z-Score inputs are at least based on the inputs to KATOH.

 

Otto Lopez and Mc Gregory Contreras appear in the NWL top 20, along with Andy Yerzy.

I talked to Shawn Doyle from JFTC last week about how Nick had linked one of their articles and mentioned if they would like to promote any of the RS articles I thought it would be a good thing. Then I saw us do it on our Twitter account for one of Jeff's articles. The two working together in promoting each other is not a bad way to grow.

I don't Twitter, but I do want to say these articles are excellent. I've shared your blog with a bunch of my baseball buddies (most of which are fans/casuals). People deserve to see this quality work. Keep it up - it will grow.

Dislike that one lmao.

 

From an American...I absolutely loved Tim Horton's donuts the 1 time I was in Canada (too bad no Jays game). Maybe it was the ones i went to, but they were awesome and would love to see them in the US at a greater percentage
