On staying off John's Lawn
The Hardball Times &bull Feb 18, 2010
I get where John Sickels is coming from. I echo some of his sentiments, some of his hesitancy to embrace the newest of the new in today's metrics. I feel a little bit over my skis in today's sabermetric community. I may write for a sabermetrics-focused website, but like Sickels my training is distinctly non-math related. I work… Full Story »

Sabermetrics have not gone too far
The Hardball Times &bull Feb 15, 2010
Pat Andriola and I accidentally wrote about the same exact thing today . Thankfully, we approached the topic in different ways, and both versions are up for your perusal Over the last decade, baseball has undergone a major transformation.

In that same span, sabermetrics have started to become relatively mainstream, as more and more eyes… Full Story »

Introducing SIERA: Part 4 by Matt Swartz and Eric Seidman
Baseball Prospectus &bull Feb 11, 2010
Now comes one of the most important aspects of building a new metric: making sure it works and testing it against its peers. Any estimator should be both realistic in its modeling and accurate in its predictive ability. These are not mutually exclusive attributes, however, as you could have a situation where a regression on sock height and induced foul balls caught by middle-aged men holding babies somehow predicts park-adjusted ERA better than anything else. Sure, it tested well, but that type of modeling is absurd and illogical; those two variables should not be assumed to have any impact whatsoever… Full Story »
