Enjoyer of statistical analysis and absurd humor. Statements and opinions are mine and mine alone. Friend to the smallfolk.
Well trod ground for those of us who have seen Zootopia 2.

I like having different perspectives. When they align it gives great confidence and when they don't it can help create synthesis between two imperfect systems. It's one guy, but very similar to what you arrived at. oxWAR had him at 0.19, while the more naïve xWAR was -.41.

Five of these guys could be the Nats rotation next year. Anything is possible.

63 of those 247 faced 100 or more batters. Senzatela, M. Parker, Márquez, Quantrill, Kochanwicz, Sugano, Irvin, Pfaadt were only to face more than 500 batters.

247/874 (including position players) were higher than .360.

I don't use FIP so I couldn't tell ya. My replacement is probably around .360 twOBA against.

Still quite bad. Went from below replacement to just above despite the high volume of usage.

Was easy once I figured out a way to automate the PA#

xWAR is my normal calculation, oxWAR incorporates opponent skill so if oxWAR exceeds xWAR you can infer that pitcher faced a tougher slate of opponents, at least against his handedness. More red means tougher, more blue means easier.

Here are the tails for who saw the largest adjustment in either direction:

3 eps in literally nothing has happened

Now I am curious, if that pitch had broken like all the other sweepers thrown that day, what is the likelihood that it catches the zone and what is the likelihood that it moves right into his bat path making the decision look less silly? It’s a funny game where the unexpected happens.

Greatest roast of all time was Norm for Bob Saget. Not that I expect these guys to understand it.

I don't know how long Leody is for the roster since he lacks options & he's gotten some chances to play without doing much elsewhere. I think you're right that they wouldn't move Cowser without it being in conjunction with acquiring another CF. Replace Leody with a CF-capable glove with options.

Cowser plays a nice CF from what I have seen so that was my biggest question about if they would move him. Low supply, high demand position. Many teams treating it like SS now. Get a good glove and take what you get with bat. I'm eager to see what they do as I think they will shake this up further.

How overlapped is the venn diagram for the strengths and weaknesses of Cowser and Beavers? I guess another way to ask this is how likely do you think it is that they move Cowser based on the limited sample from Beavers last year, and how likely is it that he can repeat or improve?
