I'm going to need to do some more work on this approach, but I think it could be a useful tool for player evaluation, especially when dealing with small sample sizes. It has problems (e.g. everyone should not have the same babip, and this method requires that they do), but I still think it could be a useful tool for player evaluation in the absence of good batted ball data. -jJinAZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07697776280178146413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-82307273834537340402007-04-10T22:44:53.331-04:002007-04-10T22:44:53.331-04:00Bellhorn wasn't released, was he? He's playing for the Bats. <BR/><BR/>Interesting stuff. Especially that part about Hamilton's BABIP. I guess it's not really a surprise - I wasn't expecting him to maintain those numbers - but it kind of drives home what "small sample size" means.BubbaFanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12416316223741178799noreply@blogger.com
