Keeping Score: Determining a Most Valuable Pitcher – NYTimes.com

Keeping Score: Determining a Most Valuable Pitcher - NYTimes.com

This week's NY Times piece looks at the most valuable pitchers in baseball this season.

I should have also mentioned in the piece, but failed to do so, that the techniques used to determine WAR are primarily the work and research of Sean Smith who does so much good work and shares it with others to such a degree that I fear I may take it for granted sometimes. Thanks to Sean for working with us and for creating such a useful framework (WAR) for evaluating players.

    The rest of us are allowed to complain about there being too many Seans in sabermetrics to keep you all straight, but I don't think you get to make that excuse. 🙂
