From Tom Brady to the Red Sox: Baseball column #1 of 2017
Hi friends. I post here a link to my first piece for Major League Fantasy Sports for 2017. This is not my day job. But, it’s a great thing when one can join a good bunch of folks and write about something like baseball. Serendipitously, I ran the analysis and wrote the piece just before the Super Bowl and before I left with a group of Washington and Lee alumni to visit and discuss Cuba. More to come. Comments welcome.
The Mad Professor’s Re-Entry. Ranking the Top 100 Starting Pitchers for 2017, Part Uno.
Midseason MLB analysis: Major League Fantasy Sports
My latest analysis is here at majorleaguefantasysports.
Pretty amazing data in the MLB this year. Batting and pitching are both strong. The nuances of data are part of the beauty of baseball.
Mid-Season Baseball Analysis 2016
In lieu of commenting on an ever-depressing political landscape, I’ve dedicated a lot of energy to baseball analysis for Majorleaguefantasysports. This is a great site operated by a great group of folks who are dedicated to sports and analysis.
My latest couple of columns embody some macro-level analysis of the first half of 2016 for both pitchers and batters. One of the intriguing aspect of baseball analysis and, in particular, its translation into fantasy analysis, is the connection between players’ performance in real life and their valuation in the fantasy markets. This parallels any analysis of stock prices or values at an auction: how do we take a complex portfolio of attractive and not-so-attractive assets and assign a particular dollar value or ranking (relative value) to it?
In this column, I address this with regard to batters. I followup in this column with a similar analysis of pitchers. Finally, in this column, I offer a reflection on the fickleness the relationship between value and performance.
More to come, of course. We are only halfway through the season.
