JUGGERNAUT Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 The best in the AL over these yrs have been : NYY, BOS, MIN, OAK, SEA luck boys: ANA, KC, SOX How do the SOX measure up this yr? RPG 376+ ab: BOS 52, MIN 42.5, OAK 42, CHW 41, SEA 40, NYY 39.1, KC 37, The numbers themselves are not important. The gap betw teams is. MIN leads the ALC in offensive production by everyday players. RPG 122-375 ab: NNY 34, KC 29, CHW 25.6, SEA 22.8, MIN 17.1, BOS 14.5, OAK 5.5 KC leads the ALC in offensive production by everyday players w considerable DL time or part-time players. OAK has a very weak bench. The NYY have an awesome bench. RPG 30-122 ab: MIN 34, OAK 17, NYY 15.4, KC 10, SEA 8.8, CHW 6, BOS 4.35, MIN dominates this category & it could explain why they've surged of late. This is mostly a reflection of call-ups since the all-star break. ALC Edge in lineup production: CHW NPERA 121+ ip: KC 3.54, OAK 11.8, CHW 13.8, MIN 15.8, SEA 17.4, NYY 17.5, BOS 18.7, KC only has 1 starter in this list, so their number is an aberation. The rest of the list shows the true ranking of starting pitchers. NPERA 40-120: SEA 10.1, OAK 12.8, NYY 13.1, CHW 18, MIN 21, BOS 33, KC 51 This is a measure of failed starters & everyday relievers. Despite our agony the CHW lead the ALC. This is also KC's biggest weakness. ALC Edge in pitching: CHW Don't despair. The numbers still show the CHW having the edge.

JUGGERNAUT Posted August 17, 2003 Author Share Posted August 17, 2003 The best in the AL over these yrs have been : NYY, BOS, MIN, OAK, SEA luck boys: ANA, KC, SOX How do the SOX measure up this yr? RPG 376+ ab: BOS 52/8, SEA 40/6, NYY 39.1/6, CHW 41/7, KC 37/7, MIN 42.5/8, OAK 42/9 The numbers themselves are not important. The gap betw teams is. CHW leads the ALC in offensive production by everyday players. RPG 122-375 ab: NYY 34/7, KC 29/6, MIN 17.1/4, CHW 25.6/7 , SEA 22.8/7, BOS 14.5/5, OAK 5.5/2 KC leads the ALC in offensive production by everyday players w considerable DL time or part-time players. OAK has a very weak bench. The NYY have an awesome bench. ALC Edge in lineup production: SOX have a slight edge. NPERA 121+ ip: OAK 11.8/4, CHW 13.8/4, SEA 17.4/5, NYY 17.5/5, BOS 18.7/5, MIN 15.8/4, KC 3.54/1 The SOX front 4 are 2nd only to OAK. NPERA 40-120: SEA 10.1/4, OAK 12.8/4, NYY 13.1/4, MIN 21/6, CHW 18/5, KC 51/15, BOS 33/8 MIN has a slight edge over KC & CHW. KC's avg is surprisingly good, but the inconsistency of using 15 players places them 3rd in the ALC. SEA is poised to go to the WS. ALC Slight edge in pitching: CHW Don't despair. The numbers still show the CHW having a slight edge to win the ALC. I think what these numbers show is how close these 3 teams really and how the ALC matches up against the other divisions. It's not any where near as far as people make it out to be. I left out an important part : # of players at each level. To best understand RPG & NPERA visit usatoday.com & look under Sagarin Ratings under baseball. But here's the skinny: RPG is the runs per game avg for the team when a certain player is in the lineup. What I've done is add up the RPG for each player & each level & then divide by the number of players in that level. That's the effective RPG for the team for players in that level. As you can see, the 41/7 RPG for SOX everyday players is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 the only numbers that matter are the ones in the standings. they were nice on August 9 They're not quite as nice today. This team doesn't need a 1-6 road trip. A win tonight, with Cotts starting, would be a huge pick-me-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted August 18, 2003 Author Share Posted August 18, 2003 Someone has WAY too much time on their hands. With 276 posts not a chance. But I do beleive in the value of Sagarin ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Hows abouts the Sox just win....OK? That's sounds great to me. Regardless, even though the numbers work out in our favor, the game is not played on paper. We've found that out the past 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
