How about batting Win Shares?

Imran, you're a law student.
If a metal storage building blows into one's backyard, is it required that it be given back, or it kind of a "Finder's Keepers" scenario ?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Are you going to be coming into the possession of one?

I'd think you'd probably have to give it back.

[Guynemer]

Imran, are you really keeping rankings?

[SlowwHand]

I am in possession of one.
It doesn't appear to be beaten up too bad, at least in looking out the back door.
Well, I'll tell you one thing, I'm not carrying it anywhere.
They want it, they can come and get it.

[Berzerker]

Yup, getting to be that time of year when the cold weather up north clashes with warmer weather from the south.

ANTLERKOV! I still have 1 valid pick from and need to know if you want him.

I sent Imran a pick in case I'm away

[Lawrence of Arabia]

win shares are stupid stats. you dont even know what goes into the formula.

[jdd2007]

I have a lot of work to finish tonight. I will probably be able to check in, but just in case it isn't possible, who should I pm my picks to?

Rankings?

Well, I'll tell you one thing, I'm not carrying it anywhere.
They want it, they can come and get it.

That's ok. You don't have to pick it up and give it to them, but if they come over and ask for it, you should give it.

Just because YOU don't know what goes in the formula, doesn't mean I don't.

look at team stats.

Does that account for the fact that Boston has a DH, being part of the lesser league? What about park effects? Differences in pitching between the AL and NL?

[Lawrence of Arabia]

the only stat that the Braves lead in is Ks, and they have 10 less than the sox. Over 162, thats 1 K less every 16 games.

are those differences taken into account in win shares? i dont think so.

You said LOA was last in your rankings... the problem with that statement is that you could just be yanking his chain, but if you were keeping rankings there is little doubt he would be last.

Um YES, they are. Park effects, differences from the mean in hitting catagories are both taken into account in the Win Shares system.

Oh, subjective rankings. I have little else ranked. Just some teams I say "That's a good team". LoA's team I just don't think is that good at all.

The problem with total rankings right now is that I don't know some people's drafting strategies, which could eliminate the holes I see now.
