Franchise GM: FGM Commissioner News & Tid Bits / Re: Scoring Categories
« on: July 31, 2009, 03:47:13 PM »I, personally, would prefer to see a system that comes closest to accurately gauging the talent-level of each team. This system is way off. According to Bill James wins are factored approximately on 48% hitting, 36% pitching and 17% fielding, that should be a starting point, from there I think things would work best if we could somehow attribute a points system that weights factors similarly to such sabermetric measurements as Runs Created, FIP and Range Factor. I'm not sure how to do this but it's likely the only way to accomplish what you're setting out to do (if I understand what you're trying to do). Perhaps we can chat at some point and kick around some ideas. I haven't had an opportunity to do much research into how we're currently scoring and how we could optimally score. Head to head would be a huge plus too. I think it'd spur more active participation and the playoff format would be much better.
I like Mike's idea here about splitting about how categories are weighted. With that said, my stats above are 12.5% fielding, 37.5% hitting, and 50% pitching. We already have runs created and Fantrax has Range Factor and FIP available, so I would like Mike to lead the way with refitting the scoring categories. Generally, this year, I think some teams are making their way around pitching, but overall, the standings are fairly accurate after a month.
