    Thanks for checking in, Jason.

    Rank the top 30 Mets from 2005. Simple as that. The other information can be found in the thread atop this forum. With other detours found strewn about.

    Let's face it, in some games there just aren't 10 points to be given out. Of course there are. A point is an abstraction. It has no real meaning outside of the context of the relative performances of the game.

    Mostly I want this to be funnier. Somebody poke Centerfield.

    It wouldn't be fluff, you see, because once that factor is applied, a bunch of 0.50 scores would be reduced to rather small scores. I think we all need to apply the same number of points to a given game --- even if that means, after the game, that we all are offered only six points to vote with, or get as many as 14. Control. Control.
  7. Edgy MD
    That's more or less a direction that I thought we could go in. Give ten points every game, with the understanding that a point is a generally meaningless quantity, except as it compares one performance in one game to other performances in that same game. Then multiply those points by a factor based on the game score --- something like 1.5 for a five-run win and 0.5 for a five-run loss (I'm not endorsing those numbers) --- so a point in a good game is worth more than a point in a bad one. I think we need the ten-pont control. I think we get bad data if everyone is giving diifferent scores. And maybe some programmer can come up with an online balot form with the name of all participants and an empty box next to his name in which a person can fill in the number of points next to the candidates name, with a running count of points at the bottom of the screen as he fills out his or her ballot, and then hit a submit button when the tally equals 10.00. And maybe we can vote for every game ever.

    Negative points is a bad idea.

    If a voter believes that some players got too far on modest contributions, s-/he can cast her/-is votes throwing a greater spread between outstanding contributions and modest ones. If a voter believes otherwise, s-/he can cast the votes otherwise.

    ok, so i'll revise my statement, they are all below or marginally above relacement level. ok, defense isn't taken into account so mintky is probably a bit more valuable than this and the 2 blackholes at 2b a bit rse. No, because players capable of playing second --- even poorly --- are scarcer. They wouldn't be worse.
  12. Edgy MD
    Considering the players' defense would likely truncate the spread of those three. Thanks for finding that. I think we toss around "replacement player" a lot around here without appreciating what we're saying.
  13. Edgy MD
    Is it possible to easily extract what the standings were in PotG wins?
  14. Edgy MD
    Were Mientkiewicz, Cairo, and Matsui all indeed below replacement level? By what measure?

    I would start by rating the starting pitcher's effort independently, on a scale of 1 to 6. I'd then go and rate everybody's effort relative to him, starting with the relief pitchers, then the batters. I'd always throw the catcher a bone, giving him one defensive point for every 19 earned by the pitchers. This was almost always a miniscule nod. Usually I'd rate these guys with round numbers, but sometimes it would add up to eight points, sometimes to 15. I'd then adjust all the scores to make them add up to ten. If I had 14.25 points awarded, I'd divide everybody's score by 1.425. If I had 8.75 points awarded, I'd divide them all by 0.875.

    Rottie just became our press officer.

    Dickshot's furiously typing a release to get us some inkshot on the Schaefer PotY.
  18. Edgy MD
    Well, it's not in vain now that you've responded. What does that name mean anyway? Is it a type of lens?
  19. Edgy MD
    I'm underwhelmed. cooby, Elster88, HahnSolo, holychicken, Johnny Dickshot, metirish, rpackrat, seawolf17, sharpie, Valadius, find us a press contact. C'mon.

    My inital add-up of the points came to 1607.48. It should be 1620, give or take a fraction, shouldn't it?
  22. Edgy MD
    Instead of eliminating funny fractions, I would ask anyone voting that way to sum up their votes on their PC's calculator before hitting submit. This is what I did.
  23. Edgy MD
    Why?
  24. Edgy MD
    They'll be factored in, I imagine. Jonathan Archer/lubitel (sp?) is supposed to kick off 2005 rankings.
  25. Edgy MD
    How about what Jae Seo did with 90 innings pitched?
