Why give the info to people who aren’t industrious enough to do the research themselves.
Didn’t think about that with the L/R splits. Good catch. I guess I’d just replace it with P/AB unless you have a better idea. Or unless the G calculation gets redone, in which case I wouldn’t have to do anything.
P/AB would absolutely provide the type of info that would be helpful in making roster decisions.
P/AB makes more sense than P/G, yeah? P/AB seems more comparable to P/IP at least.
UPDATE: Wrote this, walked away, immediately reconsidered it. IP and G are the stats that are used for limits, so P/G may make more sense. There’s a different conversation to have about changing the limits from G -> AB but that can be had elsewhere.
This is now live!
Please direct feedback to this thread:
Thanks!
P/G and P/IP have been added to the following pages (points leagues only):
- Roster Organizer
- Search Results
- Player Pages
Hope this is a useful addition for many of you!
I would find it useful to include P/G and P/IP onto the watchlist page as well. Hope that isn’t too much too ask!
P/G and P/IP have been added to the watchlist as well.
I think adding points per PA would more accurately depict how many points you could expect from a player. Currently, if someone pinch hits it counts as an entire game played. It makes judging fringe players tougher, because they may have a lower P/G due to occasionally being used as a pinch hitter or being subbed out for a defensive replacement. P/PA would more accurately represent these players, especially when they get to start.
Up thread here, you can see I considered P/PA but reversed course because I wanted to match the denominator with the playing limits, which are G and IP.
I do see your point about P/PA, but I would like to hear from some more folks who use these numbers.
I use P/PA a lot when comparing guys at the end of my bench. A lot of platoon guys don’t play everyday and get a lot of pinch hit at bats (which almost always lowers P/G), but when they play, they do pretty well. Mark Reynolds is a good example from last year – very low 3.52 P/G, but solid 1.29 P/PA. Springer is just one example of a guy with a lower P/PA than Reynolds (1.21), but a much higher P/G (5.37).
I do understand the point about using P/G because of the player limits, but don’t think it could hurt to show both.
Space is at a premium already, so showing both isn’t a great option. I’d like to pick one if possible. Both might make the most sense though…
