Yes, but what data are you using? If you're just grabbing home/away wRC+, players do perform better at home than on the road either way, so you'll probably get positive park factors.

I'm just not sure if making park factors out of wRC+ is really the correct way to test park factors.

We do use the exact same method as in that link to calculate park factors. We have Colorado at 110 for 2011.

oh, I was looking at 2011, I thought they were gone for all seasons, didn't look carefully enough. What about TZ and TZL and ADR for 2011?

the method specified here http://gosu02.tripod.com/id103.html

They're still there. I haven't run them for 2011, which reminds me I need to do that.

How are you calculating park factors?

If you are still looking for a new GM, I would gladly come take a spot. I don't have much experience in any major fantasy leagues, but will be consistently involved in the league.

I was testing if FG park factors were accurate and it looks like they are not. wRC+ should have a park factor of 100. I got a park factor of 116 for Colorado for wRC+, watering it down that should be 108, it's not 100. I used 5 years of data. Why is there a wRC+ park factor?

I should also say that I'd be happy to answer any questions in advance if you have them.

Hi all,

I'm working on developing a WAR-type metric for head-to-head fantasy leagues, which (if successful) I'll share with whoever might want it. However, my methods are a bit limited right now, as I only have access to my own league's history (with all my friend's personal ownership quirks and such). I'm looking for more data to help determine how many runs, stolen bases, etc, actually theoretically lead to a win. If you're willing to help with this project, read on:

I'm looking for results from head-to-head, NON-points-based league. Specifically, for your input to be worthwhile, I need (for any categories you want to contribute to)
1) Your team's year-end total in whatever category
2) Your league average in that category
3) Your winning percentage in that category

For example, last year my team scored 1024 runs, the league average was 1007.4, and I won 50.0% of my R matchups.

I'll take as much or as little as you're willing to contribute, but if you do contribute, please double-check that your numbers are accurate. I had to redo a bunch of my own numbers because I didn't realize my league's website was counting playoff matchups in year end stat totals, which then changed winning percentages (I was originally only using reg.season results). I can be reached by email at choiniej at gmail dot com.

If there's a place to find this sort of thing on the internet already, I'm unaware of it, and would love to be pointed in that direction!

Thanks to anyone who can help!

David can we please have these back? They were very interesting, and you just took them off the site. I would take off a lot of other stuff before these.

I'm interested in joining a league with some people who know each so it stays active and serious -- let me know if you're still looking. Drop me a line at theredsman at yahoo.

I've never played ottoneu before and would like to be in a new league, with all new owners. I've played in online leagues since 1999. Cost doesn't matter. Prefer a points league. I'll be an active owner.

With all the AJ Burnett trade rumor talk I was curious if anyone who has looked at his statistics pre-Yankees and if there are hindsight 20/20 numbers that could have been an indicator of this poor performance to come?

Any updates? Would be great to have this prior to 2012 drafts.

Looking to start a new ottoneu League. The first half of the draft will be 1-5 EST March 19 and the second half will be 1-5 EST March 26. Email graemefernando@hotmail.com if interested.

What exactly are you curious about...?

Only three spots left now. Woo! Edgar Lives!

Only 4 spots remain!

It looks like the Orioles,Braves and I believe the Red Sox

Follow that to Edgar Lives. :)

Hey all, I'd like to join Edgar Lives!, I'm just not sure where the Signup page is.

Six teams in, six slots left. :)

Curious about the Dollars data in Leaders Section, Values Table for Player Stats.

when will the 2011 TZ and TZL totals be released? It's already February. Will we get them at all? I know you can get TZ on B-R, but TZL is exclusive to Fangraphs. Wouldn't it be easy to calculate it in season? B-R can do it.

Pitch location. Pitch f/x and BIS have different pitch locations. Anything related to in or out of zone, Zone%, O-Swing%, O-Contact%, Z-Swing%, or Z contact% should be different. Contact% and swing% should not be that different, but there is a little difference in classifying swings so they should be a little different. I think pitch f/x is a little more accurate, BIS is the standard plate discipline, but I would use the pitch f/x one.

We're up to 5 now, come one come all!

I have about 4 guys who are interested and we're looking to help complete a league. Let me know if this could work out.

All,

I am trying to put together a whole-season simulator and want to incorporate risk of injury into my model. Does anybody know of a site/database that keeps track of injury? My only thought so far is to go through box scores and look for large gaps in player appearances.

Any openings in a FREE dynasty league?

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the real difference is between these two numbers. For example Adam Lind had a 31.7 O-Swing% in 2011 according to plate discipline, but a 35.9 O-Swing% according to PitchF/X Plate Discipline. Why is that?

A thank you in advance to anyone who can explain why they are different and if one is better than the other.

I'm one of the founding four. I'm also a Mariners fan in South Dakota. Looking forward to some active chat and banter. Even if you're a Yankees fan.

Bumped for having four teams now. So if you're looking for a new league to join, we've got some momentum. Or maybe we have good chemistry. Or possibly we're scrappy. And we probably also play the game the right way. We might also be pitching to the score.

Look, just join the league so I don't have to trot out any more cliches, okay?

Should be corrected now, let me know if you see anything that looks weird.

See http://www.MLFB30.com for details, league run on Yahoo, CMS on site for recording transactions, contact info, prospects etc.

Free, but serious and active owners only, please.

Email targeese@yahoo.com if interested. Please indicate your team preference. Let me know if you have any questions.

Looks like it's not working for league filtering. I will get this sorted out.
