Banner Years
October 31, 2002 - R P Coltrane
You define banner year as 25% better than league average. Does this account for position? If not, there are probably a whole lot of middle infielders and catchers who've had what I would think of as a banner years whom you're missing out on.
Moreover, I think it would be more helpful, rather than defining banner year relative to the league, to define a banner year relative to the player himself. So, you'd be looking for players who either in year 1 were 25% than in years 2-4 or in year 4 were 25% better than in years 1-3. This way, we can see what trends apply for _all_ players, not just those whose banner years happen to top 25% of the league average.
