    Trout is a lock for AL. Unanimous for sure. For NL, got to go with Kershaw. He's having a better year than Verlander in '11. But, Stanton will get some votes.
  3. Save Dtieb
    I'm all for going with Cecil at closer. Seems like he has the pedigree. Sanchez is a starter.

    Grew up near there. Weird.

    I wonder if there will be a Farrell-like statement from Bonifacio sometime.
  10. Save Dtieb
    I hate to agree, but I agree. No contenders wanted him in March, and he's having a sub-par season, so why would they now. Davis on the other hand, I'm sure contenders would love, but you would get almost nothing in trade. Maybe a AAA reliever.
  11. Save Dtieb
    yeah, you'd have to consider hang time and speed of ball after contact. plus the fielder speed from point a to b. it's complex, but it can be done. at some point, every inch of the field will have an assigned value depending on who the fielders are.
  12. Save Dtieb
    I love Davis as a 4th OF and PR. He's been fun to watch this year. He'll be gone next year cause Gose can fill that role at a cheaper rate. And yeah, I hope to see Stroman and Jimenez too.

    Nobody is going anywhere except the DL before Sept.1.

    So somehow, to include a pitchers fielders, where the ball is hit is significant, and that the fielders UZR (or something), should be factored in. So a hit to left field with Melky there would be worth less, than if that same ball was hit to left field with Rajai there. But only if the ball was hit within Rajai's range. An out becomes a hit simply because of who was the fielder. I understand, and yes, this should be part of the equation. So you'd literally have to look up every hit a pitcher as given up, what zone the ball landed in, who the fielder was in that zone and where the fielder's range fits in correlation to where the ball landed. So that 0.884 value for a single, for example, could fluctuate depending on where the ball was hit who the fielder was. The value of the hit could be devalued by a matter of a couple feet. A Fielder's yellow zone to red zone.

    For kicks. Masahiro Tanaka: ERA 1.20. FIP 2.25 Kenta Maeda: ERA 2.14 FIP 3.00 Chihiro Kaneko: ERA 1.92 FIP 2.48 I cannot do xFIP because I can't find the amount of FB given up.

    How does he keep getting though? I mean, I respect his passion and I don't like how Wilner sometimes condescends his callers, but he spews a lot of BS.
  17. Save Dtieb
    Ok. Fangraphs is the like Simpsons. No matter what, it's already been thought of.
  18. Save Dtieb
    Or a balls turned into strikes. Would count foul balls.
  19. Save Dtieb
    Yeah I understand. Also, a stat showing swings and misses outside the zone would be fun. Hitter Foolery Percentage.
  20. Save Dtieb
    Wouldn't that have more to do with the catcher's ability?
  21. Save Dtieb
    Ok so those are the wOBA numbers. I get it. In regards to the pitcher, I would think those numbers should fluctuate depending on the situation they are in. A single would be worth more with a guy on third, than a walk. But a single with no one on base is worth the same as a walk. But you could factor in the hitter's numbers. For example a walk to Elliott Johnson is worth a lot more than a walk to Miguel Cabrera because you are limiting his slugging potential. A walk to Rajai Davis is worth more, because of his stealing percentage. So that 0.691 number can turn into 1.256 more often than Cabrera. My head hurts.
  22. Save Dtieb
    Love this answer. Level playing field. I do think if, let's say, the Jays pick up a new pitcher this off-season. A better way to predict his FIP or xFIP or whatever, would be to factor in the Dome's homerun/flyball ratio and the pitchers groundball rate. Cause after all, half his starts will be there.
  23. Save Dtieb
    Where did you get these numbers? Cause it appears they are the values of hits for the hitter. and not the pitcher. if a pitcher walks the lead off man, its equal to giving up a 1B. No? They both add to OB and a potential ER.
  24. Save Dtieb
    Come on, the first post showed that Jeff Locke is not elite and doesn't deserve to be among the leaders. That's worth at least a 1 for results.
  25. Save Dtieb
    I am just trying to create something that we can all agree on. Something that takes out all assumptions and projections, and simply shows results. Something that encourages hit prevention and better control. I make ER the same value because they are the result of hits and poor control. I don't know how more of a value an ER has over a H and a BB, so maybe that could be determined. (H + BB) + (ER * X) * 9 / IP.
