I'm not completely happy with how things came out, but it seems decent enough.<BR/><BR/>I also realized last night after I posted it that I really should check on year-to-year correlation. My guess is that aOPS will still be more consistent than straight OPS. We'll see.<BR/><BR/>I do most of my graphs here in <A HREF="http://www.ncss.com/" REL="nofollow">NCSS</A>, which is a nice little stats package, as well as a decent graphing program for some purposes. I'm using NCSS 2000, which I purchased as a MS student back at Ohio. :) -jJinAZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07697776280178146413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-74456757881445022872007-04-27T17:27:00.000-04:002007-04-27T17:27:00.000-04:00Another great piece.

They should face a huge assortment of fielders over the course of the year, and therefore variation in opposition fielding is likely to be a random thing--though it is true that if a players' division is particularly bad, all the hitters of that division would likely have an advantage in BABIP.<BR/><BR/>Obviously this is different in the case of pitchers, who always play with the "same" defense. :)<BR/><BR/>As far as Pete Rose goes, I'm not likely to do much on him, unfortunately. I only got to see him play for a few years at the end of his career, and so my knowledge of him is pretty weak. baseballminutia.com is a better source for historical Reds information, though I'm not seeing a lot of stuff about Rose in the archives. -jJinAZhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07697776280178146413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-709189223992324162007-04-27T10:24:00.000-04:002007-04-27T10:24:00.000-04:00Hello JinAZ:<BR/><BR/>Your explanation is interesting, but remember that, there are nine defenses and they make plays incredible and they do not allow hits.<BR/><BR/>I from Nicaragua. Put something about Mr. Pete Rose, an exciting player.<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>R. MendozaMendozahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18040848251070570172noreply@blogger.com
