why the irrational hate for jimmy rollins by people? position adjusted he is the most valuable player on the phillies going forward, yet everybody blows howard and utely.

I down with the TT love but is this a typo?

Utley crushes Rollins at the bat, even giving Rollins the positional boost, and Utley is a better 2b than Rollins is a SS. Or if you want to add in the positional adjustment on defense, then Rollins is little more valuable defensively but Utley crushes him as a hitter.

[ok genius whats the best position adjusted 'available' metric for discussing players overall worth?

Super Linear Weights or some variant has been the correct answer for quite some time.

WARP blows, even Nate Silver admits that

Read the link above, Warp is crap, hence MORP is crap.

ok he beats him by like a win over the next four seasons (supervorp).


still, rollins gets the shaft big time when discussing those two. they are virtual equals in terms of overall worth.

thing is superlwts isnt a WA metric....unless i just dont have the data source.

calling WARP crap is harsh. its still better than your basic OPS or OPS+ crap and thats what the majority use.

Re: Rockies fans are gonna be pissed. Braun Wins ROY
 

Sublime,
Without injuries Utley is clearly better than Rollins, the injury is the only thing that made it closish.

TT> Braun, but it isn't a like Colon over Santana or Morneau > Jeter/Mauer for MVP.

ppl like sublime are why no one likes statheads lololol

So I dids some research on the warps and saw hanley ramirez has a higher warp1 and warp3 and the same warp2 as tulowitzki.

So is this a good stat or not? Obv must fail because you said tulowitzki should be mvp over hanley, amirite?

QFT

Either admit the stat you want to use is wrong or your contention that Tulowitzki > Ramirez is wrong.

Before you edit it:

honestly, tulowtizki would be a better M V P candidate than ramirez.
