The main goal was to check how the players compare beyond usual stats and predict the most valuable offensive players. I used a very simple formula and it has obvious flaws, but it was still a fun experiment. oWAR takes into account OBP, SLG and Baserunning (only SB and CS, no extra bases on hits). dWAR takes into account games played at each position and staff like errors, assists and double plays. It uses some subjective coefficients that I tinkered with until the results seemed adequate to me. It doesn't include more advanced defencive stats, as I don't know how to get them. The game has infield assists, fielding attempts etc, but not in a convenient table. Also, calling it WAR is not completely correct, as I used an average player for our league instead of a replacement level player. Still makes some sense I hope. As for results, I find them quite predictable so far. Delray has by Farr the best player in the league. Here are 30 best players: And the worst: Updated Friday, December 22 2023 @ 6:30:54 am PST

No surprise that New York has just one player in the top 30 here, and equally unsurprising that we have four in the bottom 30 (though three have been cut along the way, and they were all projects/bottom of the roster guys). We certainly have nobody like Farr, though not many teams do. The Stingrays might have really been in trouble without him. Other than the two division leaders, it's been close all season.

It was very unexpected to be honest, and I don't really know where the results came from. So it wouldn't be a surprise if we are back here soon.

Despite our best Cup start in a while NY is struggling at 10-16 in league play and just lost our best (/only good) pitcher for 34 days. We clung on here last season by the skin of our teeth, so its either going to be another struggle this year or time to build for the future.

I've seen that movie and it doesn't end well. Fortunate for our hoofed friend this isn't R/L so (depending on your personal mind-set) it's going to be a much more entertaining competition and I can't wait to see how this one plays out. Good luck to both managers (hurstdm and texg8r) down the stretch!

amalric7 Joined: 01/20/2016 Posts: 2256 New York Lancers V.4	Yeah, those two have been duking it out all season long, crushing everything in their path. Up until last week NY were hanging in the midst of the also-rans, but since inter-division ended we've collapsed, going just 4-20. So its a short stay in IV2 for us again, and back to LLV.
