    A data set of one has a zero std dev. A binary example (0=tails, 1=heads) will trend toward a std dev of 0.5 in larger samples. Your example is as wrong as your first use of the term. School's out.

    Smaller standard deviation? Don't just throw statistical terms out there in an attempt to sound like you know what you are talking about. Standard deviation is the deviation from the mean that will account for 67% of the data. That has nothing to do with what you are talking about. The problem with two different pitchers on two different teams is that there is no data, because they don't catch the same pitchers. And don't read the tea leaves about my involvement in the discussion. I don't only chime in when you are wrong, although you are wrong so often that it must feel that way. Me responding or not responding proves nothing more than my interest level in providing a response. Stop fabricating things that support your argument.

    Nice try, but failure, again. Hitters all face so many different pitchers in a given year that the variance washes out. In a full season, a hitter will face over 60 different pitchers, with ease. Catchers have the bulk of their innings thrown to them by the starting rotation, only 5-7 pitchers depending on injuries. A good or bad pitcher can make up 15% of their inning load. This doesn't happen with hitter/pitcher matchups. Stupid beyond belief that you'd even attempt this argument.

    So, you'd say he was lucky, right?

    Hip injury Career Best Year Regular Year Career Worst Year Any questions? This took 10 seconds to answer. EDIT: This is why Spud should not listen to your version of statistical analysis. The numbers are factual, but the conclusions reached are very self serving.

    You should play by Gom's rules and blame Cervelli for calling that pitch.

    Tonight's starter is a little long in the tooth, but interesting nonetheless.

    Since you seem to be struggling with the concept of the awesomeness of this board, just think about how happy you get if you add throbbing cock to your every mundane thought. The joy you experience with that augmenation is the joy most of us get at this board without external help.

    This whole parody user name would be clever..........if it didn't convey the image of frozen penis. Just sayin'.
  17. ORS
    This board is the best ever.

    Consdering the source, that was profound.

    Tim Wakefield is having a good season. Has anyone noticed this?

    Careful, make sure you stretch out thoroughly before attempting such high levels of back patting. You can have a discussion about who was the best player born on May 20th, but value is relative to peers, and in baseball your peers are those that play the same position.
  22. ORS
    The latter group does not define who gets to play the game, it's just an ordering organization of who can play, the positions in the field (and those who are capable of performing at those positions) do. His peers are the others who can man the same position.

    If the first quote is what you really think about production and value, then the second quote isn't that hard to follow as you state. Keep in mind, the scale of value can be anything. In terms of offensive "value", it could be runs, like VORP. In terms of market value, it could be money. Don't sidetrack this by saying were just talking about the $$, because the $$ is based on what they do on the field relative to their peers.

    a700, you are missing the point on the positional argument. Suppose a player is going to hit .300/.370/.490, and he's going to do it every year. Your argument is that since he's the same every year, then he loses nothing in terms of offensive value. This is wrong. He loses nothing in terms of offensive "production", but "value" is another matter, one in which the position a player fields has relevance, because value is relative, so you have too compare to averages. Now, suppose he's going to be playing CF for your team. With that offensive line, he's well above average for the position. Move him to 1B and he comes back to the pack. The team no longer gets above average production from a premier position and instead gets closer to average production from a position where it's easier to find a bat. This is the lost value.
