Baseball Ranting and Rambling

OK, quick post of current top 7 OPS guys translated into WSG (still w/o the proper % of baserunner situations). SLG:WSG:

Bonds: 1.270 : .858
Pujols: 1.120 : .808
Helton: 1.078 : .773
Sheffield: 1.033 : .735
Delgado: 1.021 : .706
Edmonds: 1.010 : .730
Giambi: .990 : .682

Again, Giambi is very low, and i haven't really had the time to figure out why (I think his low 2B/3B total has something to do with it (17)). And . . .back to RA training.

OK, quick post re: WSG.
It appears that .600 appears to be the loose cut off for All-Stars, and .775 is the ballpark figure for MVP consideration. Another added benefit of WSG over SLG and AVG is that you have a larger sample space to derive your data from, and that lowers your error, so your confidence in the number is greater. I can explain this more later, but if you flipped a coin twice and it came up twice heads, it wouldn't be unusual, but if you had flipped it 10 times and they all came up heads you might think something is up. I'll put up more numbers tonight maybe to support this. RA Training starts in 3 minutes.
 
Seriously, I will write stuff soon, but I have dorm-related stuff that needs my attention now. I've probably lost all my audience, so it might not even be worth it, but if you liked my crap let me know, otherwise this may fade.
