Titusville: ranking changes from last season

Ranking figures for 2010 keeps.

For batters, a positive change is an improvement.

          2009   2010   change
          ====   ====   ======
Howard     144    165    +21
Ramirez    122    133    +10
Zobrist    136    144    + 8
Hawpe      123    123      0
Victorino  105    105      0
Utley      134    128    - 6
Rollins    101     84    -17
Soto       113     68    -45

Rollins & Soto will ride the bench this season and hope for a return to form.

For pitchers, a negative change is an improvement.

          2009   2010   change
          ====   ====   ======
Jimenez    124    101    -23
Lilly      122    106    -16
Garza      126    122    - 4
Hamels     100    131    +31

Street     117     63    -54
Rhodes     155    120    -35

Cole will probably cool his heels on the taxi team. Not sure what to do with Garza.

Here is a question… how do the overall 15 keeps in 2009 compare to the 15 keeps in 2010? Are the Perfectos better before entering the draft?

What are these “ranking figures”?

Lance, the ranking figures are linear weights I compute from the card numbers. They are weighted for expected L/R match-ups expected, and the average performance of pitchers/hitters are factored in to the values for the hitters/pitchers. It’s my way of rolling everything up into one number that represents run production (hitters) or run yield (pitchers).

Lance,

As you can tell… Lenny is really good with math…

Lenny,

You answered Lance’s question about the rankings… how do the keeps compare… not player to player but overall numbers vs. overall numbers… should we look out for the Perfectos in 2010?
