Reds Season Review

I completed a "sabermetric" (I still don't like that word, but I've become resigned that I have to use it to be understood) review of the 2009 Cincinnati Reds at Red Reporter. Here are the parts:
Did some fun things here:
  • The introduction piece has a nice historical angle to it that I really like.
  • The position-by-position run above average plots in the position player pieces were a nice way of summarizing the overall team performance.
  • The hitting info included full baserunning from baseball prospectus pull park corrections, so I think it's the best available right now for Reds players.
  • The fielding info incorporated fan scouting data in a semi-crude, but still useful way. Again, I think it's the best available for Reds players.
  • I also really like the introductory graph for the pitcher piece. People can complain about one metric vs. another, but when all three approaches show the same thing, I think it paints a pretty strong picture.
Well, that's enough patting myself on the back for one day. It's exam week and I have to figure out what I'm going to do if school gets snowed out tomorrow.

  1. There's an under the radar pitcher in the Reds system that has caught my eye. Luis Machuca GCL/DSL....do you have a scouting report or any other information on him?

  2. I've heard nothing on him. RedsMinorleagues.com would be your first stop.
