Around SBN: Uga VII, Requiescat in Pace: A Tribute to a Damn Good 'Dawg

SBN Awards: NL Cy Young

Rk Player Team 1st 2nd 3rd Pts
1 Tim Lincecum San Francisco Giants 18 13 - 129
2 Chris Carpenter St. Louis Cardinals 9 4 7 64
3 Adam Wainwright St. Louis Cardinals 4 4 10 42
4 Javier Vazquez Atlanta Braves - 5 7 22
5 Dan Haren Arizona Diamondbacks - 3 4 13
6 Ubaldo Jimenez Colorado Rockies - 1 1 4
7 Cliff Lee Philadelphia Phillies - - 1 1
8 Jair Jurrjens Atlanta Braves - - 1 1

 

My vote: Brad Penny, Adam Wainwright, Chris Carpenter. Wainwright over Carpenter because of the innings pitched advantage. Penny over Lincecum because Penny had four wins in six starts, which is a 67% chance of a win. Lincecum was good, but he couldn't even crack 50%.

Wait, maybe I voted for Lincecum. I'll have to find my ballot. Either way, I'm reppin' the Giants, baby.

And those of you who don't want Lincecum to win because of a possible increased arbitration award: for shame. A new lawnmower would be a much more practical birthday gift than a $200 bottle of bourbon and a milk crate filled with pornography. But, go on, ask me which one I'd rather have. Don't be, I say, don't be so practical, kid. You'll miss out on the good things in life.

by xanthan on Nov 11, 2009 11:30 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I think a good argument pro is for accounting purposes. You can definitively break up defense into in-play and not-in-play elements by using FIP and UZR as your measures. If you’re using TRA, you’re kinda eating into some of what UZR is measuring as well.

How does tRA eat into fielding measurements? I was under the impression that it simply looked at how the ball was hit into play, LD, FB, or GB, which isn’t controlled by a fielder.

by tarlinian on Nov 12, 2009 12:02 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

But each of those things has an affect on the probability of successfully fielding the ball.

It wouldn’t really matter when you’re measuring each individual player, but one of the things that you can do with WAR is add it up and get something like a team’s true talent. If Fangraphs were using a pitching measure that leaks out into defense, they would be double counting in a sense.

I guess I just don’t like going all one way or the other. BP’s method of just using straight up RA to calculate their more complicated VORP/WARP stats doesn’t make sense to me either.

At the end of the year, if you’re trying to quantify what actually happened, it doesn’t totally make sense to me to use normalized or hypothetical statistics on their own to do it. Because, yeah, Lincecum probably was the best pitcher in the NL this year, but he did end up with a 2.48 ERA and a 2.76 RA for whatever reason and Carpenter did end up with a 2.24 ERA and a 2.29 RA.

I don’t know if that makes any sense. I feel like some combination of FIP and the actual runs allowed numbers would feel better to me.

by jponry on Nov 11, 2009 12:22 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I get what you’re saying but I think FIP is valuable in a sense because defense can play such a large role in how a pitcher performs. Should we hold Lincecum (or any other pitcher) accountable for his defenders? He really doesn’t have a choice of who plays behind him.

Have you checked out PZR? It makes sense (probably more than FIP) if you want to judge “what really happened” in a pitcher’s performance.

by xanthan on Nov 11, 2009 12:40 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

That is true but sometimes I do think it’s a bit odd to look at things from that hypothetical standpoint, especially since i don’t really think they do the same thing with hitters.
