• Title: “Wonderful Ignorance”; subtitle: “The Past Is Always Going To Be With Us”
• Bill discusses SABR’s beginnings. It was smaller, allowing for more personal interaction, and more populated by “eccentrics”. He reminds us that founder Bob Davids was reluctant to publish more than one article every two years about statistical analysis in the SABR Journal. He says that of SABR’s 70 members at the time, only himself, ...

1. Voros McCracken of Pinkus posted on October 18, 2012 at 05:14 PM # hit 0 | hit 0What? I'm pretty sure Bill was around for 1987.
My suspicion is that he meant just "MVP" and erroneously added in 'type'... or else he just wanted to remind everyone that Alan Trammell's immense screwing by sportswriters occurred both while he was playing and they had the ability to award him MVPs and after he retired and decided to focus on the ho-hum innings eater he played with when it comes to HOF voting.
Any time you answer with small sample size, the fan of the player brings in the argument "he's different". I find it really silly to make any type of projection/prediction on a young players future performance with only 8-12 starts to judge them by. It seems a lot of good talented young pitchers have that 6-8 game start to their career where the scouting report isn't enough for the opposition.
I agree, and while I'm not projecting greatness for Harvey, he's at least worth getting excited over, from a Met fan perspective. His starts were fun to watch. But without looking it up, he did seem to run up a lot of high pitch counts in throwing effectively.
The Mets will not be a good team in 2013, but their rotation-- Dickey, Harvey, Niese, Santana, and Gee-- should keep them in games until the bullpen takes over and promptly gives up 5 or 6 runs. Wheeler's looking pretty good, too, but probably still a year away.
It turned up one Bob Feller. Granted, a 17-year-old Feller is a bit more impressive than a 23-year-old Harvey but still. It also turned up Zimmermann and Strasburg. And Rick van der Hurk, Ollie Perez, Angel Guzman (who might have been good but got hurt) and Hideki Irabu.
If you drop it to 8 K/9 you also pick up King Felix. And Jake Peavy (probably not HoF bound), the first muppet in MLB history Drew Smyly and everybody's favorite coulda-been Rich Harden. And a lot of fine to flameout pitchers (up to 27 pitchers now).
One last swipe, I drop the K/9 to 7 but add a K/BB of 2 or better. 36 pitchers but nobody of major note added.
So I can say that I am reasonably confident that Harvey will have a career somewhere between Rick van der Hurk and Bob Feller. Unless he gets hurt of course.
And that is a problem with the search, you can't do a search in season for guys who's career started out just as well and what happened afterwards.
Yep. But this is an unimpressive enough list.
I got it into my head that the point at which you start to develop some confidence in your results (not 95%, much less 99%, but SOME confidence) occurred at about a sample size of 30.
A sample size of 30 is about where the Central Limit Theorem kicks in which means it's where you can start assuming that your esimator has an approximately normal distribution. That is you can start using +/- about 2 SDs as a 95% confidence interval.
As the link in #8 presumably shows, the necessary sample size is a function of the variance/SD and the desired level of accuracy. But, yeah, I've heard the "at 30 you start to have a clue" rule of thumb but I'm not sure what it's based on. I think somewhere around 30 you start having decent power to detect "large" effect sizes.
I'd stay away from any rules of thumb when it comes to baseball though. The level of accuracy you want is pretty ridiculous in baseball. You need something on the order of 1500 PA to reliably tell the difference between a "true" 350 OBP and a 400 OBP which of course is a "massive" difference in baseball.
I like the boldness of your prediction. I do not appreciate the you putting Ollie Perez's name in any post that deals with a Met pitching prospect. It just feels dirty and wrong.
I didn't know he was Guy's son!
One thing I will say about Bill James. I don't know why you'd do a mailbag if you aren't going to bother answering most of the questions.

He is not pretending, he is just answering the question of based solely on Harvey's debut season numbers what are his chances based on historical precedent.
It's the age filter on the debut season which seems to be the biggest restriction on James' list. Yes, there are posted positive expectations for Harvey based on more then just a brief major league stint, but in general, is an age 23 debut season for a strikeout / power pitcher already too old to portend much success?

Regular wash:
Kyle Hansen IIRC (height not a problem)
Clay Bucholz (the manic taxi driver: a professional. what, me worry?)
Glad to have worn sliding shorts:
Jeff Locke LHP IIRC (threw high and inside, repeatedly)
Matt Harvey (good control and stuff; shame and fear equal)
Burned car seat after getting home:
Jeff Allison (from level ground!)
