Final 2006 American League Pitchers thru games of October 1 Sunday
_______________________________________________________________________
PITCHERS ARE LISTED IN THREE TIERS: (all pitchers are now listed)
(A) at least 1.0 innings * average number of games played per team
(B) between (1/3) and 1.0 innings * average number of games played per team
(C) between 0 and (1/3) innings * average number of games played per team
the headings over and within each tier tell how many innings pitched
the pitchers in that particular tier have
predicted ERA = what the pitcher's ERA "should be" (NPERA) given his
raw statistics NORMALIZED to composite major league
play of 1946-1999
this is the best REAL-LIFE measure of the pitcher's true PITCHING VALUE
MARKOV CHAIN analysis is the mathematical technique used
an average pitcher will have a NORMALIZED predicted ERA of 3.87
if the pitchers are NORMALIZED, that means that their predicted ERA's
are what they would have achieved if they had pitched in the
hypothetical composite major leagues of 1946-1999.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Markov Chain NPERA represents REAL-LIFE pitching value,
while DOLLAR$ represents FANTASY LEAGUE value.
_______________________________________________________________________
The DOLLAR$ figure has been arrived at by comparing the player's
statistics in the variables relative to FANTASY LEAGUES to those of all
other players in his league (AMERICAN or NATIONAL), and then putting
the results into the context of a typical fantasy league with 11-12 teams,
each with 25 players (15 batters, 10 pitchers) and a $283 salary cap.
The 11-12 teams is per AMERICAN or NATIONAL league. If a fantasy league
is a "mixed league" -- players can be chosen from BOTH major leagues,
then consider the numbers as if the mixed league had 23 fantasy teams.
Pitchers are rated on FIVE CATEGORIES: (1) INNINGS PITCHED
(note: MOB=(HITS+WALKS+HBP) per 9 inn) (2) SQRT(ERA x MOB)
(3) RICKEY = ((IP-H) + (SO-(W+HBP)) = ((IP+SO) - (H+W+HBP))
(4) WINS
(5) SAVES
Note that the printed listing RICKEY/9IP is simply the following
measurement of the pitcher's power: ((IP-H) + (SO-(W+HBP)) = ((IP+SO) - (H+W+HBP)) per 9 inn
average RICKEY/9IP ranges between 2.00 in the AL and 3.00 in the NL. The DH explains the difference.
Batter and pitcher DOLLAR$ ratings do NOT take account of POSITION or
STARTING or RELIEF status for batters and pitchers respectively.
By the fact that the DOLLAR$ figure is arrived at by comparing a player
to others STRICTLY within his own league (AMERICAN or NATIONAL),
it could happen that better raw statistics in one league could be worth
a lesser dollar figure than a lesser raw statistics in the other league
because they weren't as relatively good in their own league as the
lesser RAW statistics were in their league.
