[Insert component name] Adjustment Factors (December 26, 2003)

Posted 12:43 a.m., December 27, 2003 (#4) - Virgil
  If I'm not wrong, it wouldn't be so hard to create these separate set of Park Factors v.1.1

I was always interested in comparing Lefty/Righty park factors, although I'm not sure sample size will permit it. It goes with the whole weird dimensions aspect of ballparks - e.g.. Righty pull/gap hitters did terribly in the 40s, 50s because of the cavernous left-center power alley, whereas Lefties had a considerate advantage. When factoring in the park factors, righties would be hurt, and lefties would be helped.

I'm curious though, do you two (MGL and Tango) think a) this is feasible, b) sample size would permit it, and c) whether something like James' five year window, with 5x emphasis placed in the middle year would help diminish sample size errors.

Probably a dumb question/post

  MGL,

I know you're open with most of your work - I was curious to know how you calculated your MLEs?

Thanks

  Tango - I was looking at Will Carroll's weblog and saw your post there concerning your reply to his email where you quoted something from Will's weblog or email.

I did not want to post on there, inciting a discussion/argument between you and Will, but I was curious to know what was going on since you posted on a public forum. If you dont want to talk about it - that's alright too.
