Elias Rankings

Dodgerbono, I imagine because Elias takes into account playing time, and since Lackey missed significant time this year, it probably hurt his status.

Nice to see a post from Tim, by the way.

I would really like a healthy Lackey in LA.

LMAO @ O-Cab still Type A. He's one of the worst players in baseball right now. Yeah, Elias Rankings are outdated and archaic and need to go.

So, Tim, I must ask, how's the wife and baby doing? :)

Classy as always, you should tell everyone how your doing.

I dont think I am the only who misses you on the delete button.

Sergio Romo, set-up man - Type A.
Brian Wilson, closer - Type B.

Be prepared for the high volume of poop too!

:P

tim,

glad everyone is well. As a father of 3 the only thing i can suggest is get sleep when you can.

Really quick, I don't have access to the spreadsheet at work, but I wanted to try and clarify why Carlos Lee is above Albert Pujols and why Troy Glaus could be above Hanley Ramirez (I'll have to check the latter, that one seems like a programming error)

It is important to note that Carlos Lee and Albert Pujols are not ranked against eachother. Albert Pujols gets his score from comparing his BA, PA, SLG, RBI, and HR to other 1B to see how he ranks. Carlos Lee gets his score from comparing his BA, PA, SLG, RBI, and HR to other OF to see how he ranks. The scores from different positions are grouped together, but they aren't ranked against eachother!!!!! This was especially true when Aubrey Huff was leading the AL 1B/OF/DH. Huff's stats in no way compared with Tex, Cabrera, Youkilis, or Morneau, but the DH crew has particularly weak numbers, while the 1B crew is very strong. Therefore, DH's in the American League will have inflated rankings.

This also explains why Orlando Cabrera is Type A. How many shortstops currently on American League teams have been starting since the beginning of 2008?

Padilla's got an inflated winning percentage. Lackey's got something like 90+ days on the DL... You stop getting proration after 60 days. On top of that, he's stunk this year.

This a load of crap...just like evry entry Howard megdal writes. :0

Disregard the 1B/OF/DH rankings in the ones above. I noticed and found an error with the way OBP was being calculated. Use these instead.
