PrintThis is from his "Stat of the Week" e-mail (I forget how to sign up; TBall told me), so I won't post the whole thing, but really interesting. A couple of highlights:
Rookies and Runs Created:
| Player | Runs Created |
Baserunning Runs |
Runs Saved | Positional Adjustment |
Total Runs |
| Elvis Andrus, Rangers | 56 | 4 | 11 | 27 | 101 |
| Nolan Reimold, Orioles | 60 | 0 | -1 | 10 | 69 |
| Jeff Niemann, Rays | 73* | 0 | -4 | 0 | 69 |
| Ricky Romero, Blue Jays | 67* | 0 | 1 | 0 | 68 |

Partial thread hijack
David Brown has an in-depth piece on the Rangers’ rookies that’s slated to come down the pipeline tomorrow morning.

oh shit
Now I won’t be able to sleep tonight. :)
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
Mitch Moreland -Tom Grieve Rangers Minor League Player of the Year
Martin Perez - Nolan Ryan Rangers Minor League Pitcher of the Year
Looking forward to that
Hank is 7 runs below a zombie replacement at first base. Do you realize how terrible that is? Zombie’s can’t think, they’re slow, and they’re often ejected from the game for eating opposing baserunners’ brains. - Ben quantifies Hank Blalock
Another breakdown:RAR
Name Batting Fielding Pitching Positional Replacement Overall
Elvis Andrus -1.9 8.9 5.9 15.7 28.7
Nolan Reimold 11.7 -6.6 -5.4 13.6 13.3
Jeff Niemann 31.1 31.1
Ricky Romero 24.7 24.7
Andrew Bailey 21.5 21.5

By the way
the coolest thing about that is Elvis being the best in total runs before the positional adjustment.

Does the positional adjustment also factor in chances?
IIRC, Elvis’ chances have been on the high side for an AL SS.
Sabermetrically speaking, yes
Not everyone is aware of stats aside from W, L, ERA, Batting average, and RBI, though.

Today BTB on Twitter...
…talked about how they were being rational about the AL Cy Young this morning and were going to give it to Greinke, but then took it away………BECAUSE OF WINS.
