03 MLE's - MGL (December 28, 2003)

Posted 2:58 p.m., December 30, 2003 (#35) - 3AM
I'm trying to do a study on DIPS ERA and SO rate, as MGL suggested. But I'm having trouble calculating historic DIPS ERAs. According to Voros' DIPS ERA calculations at http://www.baseballstuff.com/fraser/articles/dips2.html I need to know how many 2B and 3B teams gave up, and I can't seem to find it. Baseball Reference doesn't list pitcher 2B/3B totals, and neither does the Lahman database (that I can find, at least).

Any suggestions?

Next question: If I make a DIPS ERA+, do I need to use PF? And if so, would it look like this:

(LgDIPSERA/DIPSERA/PF)*100

Assuming PF is the number from BR.com. Would I have to divide that by 2 before applying it?
