Today in my column at BP I take a look at two topics that couldn't be more different. First, I give my take on the Mitchell report and then delve into outfield defense in a continuation of my series on Simple Fielding Runs (SFR).
One of the goals that prompted looking at creating a fielding system with retrosheet style play by play data was to combine the outfield SFR ratings with the throwing arm ratings (Equivalent Throwing Runs) I developed for an essay to be published in Baseball Prospectus 2008. The final table in today's columns shows the two measures side by side for all outfielders in 2007 who played in 80 or more adjusted games (9-inning equivalents). I did not, however, total them up by team and so here are the totals for each team in 2007. Note that the SFR values are a first pass and are park adjusted using a three-year factor. Those adjustments I believe lead to the imbalance you see with more teams coming out positive. I haven't looked into it deeply but that's my assumption anyway.
Also, just a reminder that I'll be chatting at BP tomorrow at 11AM Mountain, 1PM Eastern. Hope to see you there.
