I'm not understanding the low MLE for Charleston this season, his stats are excellent

4. DL from MN Posted: March 06, 2020 at 11:13 AM (#5928506)

1925 Prelim

1) Oscar Charleston - I am overriding the MLEs for Beckwith and Charleston, they don't make sense given the Seamheads data
2) Rogers Hornsby
3) Bullet Rogan
4) John Beckwith
5) Kiki Cuyler
6) Dolf Luque - best MLB pitcher
7) Joe Sewell
8) Dave Bancroft
9) Pete Donohue
10) Al Simmons

11-15) Eppa Rixey, Jack Scott, Herb Pennock, Dazzy Vance, Pie Traynor
16-20) Dobie Moore, Goose Goslin, Harry Heilmann, Tris Speaker, Turkey Stearnes

Biz Mackey is the top catcher

5. John (You Can Call Me Grandma) Murphy Posted: March 08, 2020 at 07:26 PM (#5928879)

Prelim:
1) Oscar Charleston
2) Bullet Rogan
3) Rogers Hornsby
4) John Beckwith
5) Turkey Stearnes
6) Al Simmons
7) Kiki Cuyler
8) Harry Heilmann
9) Goose Goslin
10) Walter Johnson

This is the season of the "bellyache heard round the world". Babe Ruth's intestinal abscess cost him a large part of the season.
