Breaking Blue: Toronto Blue Jays Blog is live
Frag replied to admin's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Hey Chris, Tom thinks you have a chance to win best research award by SABR. Wish you luck! -
Kadri for Jordan Staal...

Hey Dan:
-
Looks like Phaneuf's extension is pretty much done. 7 years, $7 M AAV.

Bargnani efence at work

Not that it matters, but it would be nice if they used "Threshold" player instead of "Replacement" player in addition to using "Points" as opposed to "Wins". So as to call it "PAT" instead of "WAR", but I digress.
-
A) I haven't seen him post anywhere his methods. My guess would be that he looked into the average 4th line forward (+13th forward) or 3rd pairing D (+7th D), both of which determined using TOI/GP, and used that as a proxy. However, I don't want to assume anything here. That does puzzle me (though, if it's both a good evaluator of past performance and a good predictor of future performance, then THoR may be a really promising stat IMO). I would prefer to see an analysis of his tool in comparison to past performance (especially on team level).

He tweeted today that it actually is Wins Above Replacement:
-
So, this stat called THoR has been updated and converted into WAR. Seems to be pretty good predictor of future THoR, too. Seeing the top names, while talented, doesn't entirely pass the sniff test. Kunitz over Crosby?

Okay thanks!

The one and only Masahiro Tanaka posting and bidding thread
Frag replied to SAAviour's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
I've been hearing Kuroda comparisons thrown at Tanaka. While not a bad thing (Kuroda is very underrated), not sure he'll be worth the contract he'll likely get this offseason. We'll see, I suppose. -

We know he's been posted already, so go post elsewhere! -
Well done Chris! Btw, did you use BtN's data or Hockey Analysis? I ask this because the latter provides teammate Corsi for% when the player of interest is not on the ice, while BtN's QOT includes the player of interest's effect on his teammates. In fact, could you PM me the methods you did to calculate PAA? Thanks!

Very interesting article on the biases found in prospect lists by Baseball America (position-by-position). Also, this aspect may remind some folks of a certain report years back:
