Huge Red Sox fan, trying not to be biased.
I have been throwing around my projections a lot and not explaining them. That was a bad idea. In this post I will explain how it works and do an example. My example will be Cody Ross
I think the Red Sox have a shot, it is a very unpopular opinion, but I'll show you why after the jump
I am trying to build a fielding metric using gameday, but I'm not very good with computers. I have mySQL installed, and I want to use baseball on a stick because I can get minor league data for...
I made an aggregate farm system ranking of John Sickels', Dougdirt's and frag's. I would include backtocali's but he hasn't updated for trades.
This is my big board. I like college hitters, because they are so much safer than any other kind of player. The average WAR by draft spot goes college hitters, high school hitters, college...
Well it appears to be none. This awesome site will show you the hit location of a pitcher in a different park. Translating Bailey's stats from Oakland to Fenway, you can see that none of his balls...
I've been looking for one good xBABIP calculator. The best I've found so far was slash12's which was posted on this site. I decided to test it and make my own xBABIP. The tests are from 2002-2011.

Along with Ryan Sweeney for Josh Reddick, Raul Alcantara, and Miles Head. I think the Red Sox made a great deal, they gave up two prospects with decent, not great ceilings who are very far away...
As most of you know, I'm a big stats guy, I was reading some archives on BP and I found this http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=6153 . It was ranking players based on PECOTA....
I made a WAR Spreadsheet, just download it, it includes a wOBA calculator too if you need one.
I'm not asking for the best, just the deepest farm systems in baseball. We all know the Blue Jays have the deepest, and the Rays and Rangers and Padres are very deep too. But my Red Sox have 10...
Players round 15 or below1. Julius GainesTerrific defensive shortstop with plus speed. Has hit against some of the best high school pitching. Has potential to hit .270 with 10 homers and plus...
