I couldn't get my usual mix of WAR and Win Shares but I figure there are multiple ways to grab them. I wanted to start discussion before the playoffs were over.

2. lieiam Posted: October 18, 2016 at 11:19 PM (#5327776)

I've been waiting for this! Since I don't include postseason in my ratings here's my prelim.
I haven't voted in a while so here's some explanation:
I use various "uber stats" and merge them together into one number. I use 3 WARs (baseball reference, fangraphs, and baseball gauge) as well as win shares and win shares above bench.
I do have a (slight) catcher bonus.

Here's my top 25
1 TROUT, MIKE 10000
2 BRYANT, KRIS 8536
3 CANO, ROBINSON 7801
4 BETTS, MOOKIE 7797
5 ALTUVE, JOSE 7665
6 DONALDSON, JOSH 7664
7 SEAGER, KYLE 7145
8 MACHADO, MANNY 7140
9 FREEMAN, FREDDIE 6840
10 SEAGER, COREY 6816
11 KINSLER, IAN 6580
12 VOTTO, JOEY 6560
13 BELTRE, ADRIAN 6458
14 MURPHY, DANIEL 6423
15 SCHERZER, MAX 6351
16 EATON, ADAM 6348
17 CABRERA, MIGUEL 6300
18 RIZZO, ANTHONY 6261
19 DOZIER, BRIAN 6255
20 VERLANDER, JUSTIN 6222
21 KERSHAW, CLAYTON 6096
22 SYNDEGAARD, NOAH 6086

NL All Star Team

The only change I have made in my evaluation method for 2016 is in the defense . Because batting ball data is now available, I have used DRS for 2016 rather than DRA to evaluate defense.

C Buster Posey - No real competition
1B Freddie Freeman- very close between Freeman and Rizzo. Freeman was just enough better offensively
2B Daniel Murphy - Even with the poorer defensive numbers, Murphy's offense was good enough to keep him slightly ahead of Segura
3B Nolan Arenado - Slightly better offense than Bryant; Both good defensively , but Arenado about a win better.
SS Corey Seager - best offensive shortstop, but Crawford's defense made a good fight out of the SS position
LF - Adam Duvall - Much better defense give him a slight edge on Christian Yelich
CF - Dexter Fowler - Just enough better defensively to beat out Blockman
RF - Christian Yelich - Stephen Piscotty was the best right fielder, but was .75 wins lower than Yelich so even though he plays LF, I gave him the all star

SP Max Scherzer
Clayton Kershaw
Noah Syndengaard
Carlos Martinez
Jon Lester

RP Mark Melancon
Seung-Hwa Oh
Kanley Jansen

The American League will follow in a couple of days.

4. MrC. Posted: October 21, 2016 at 12:09 PM (#5331042)

AL All Star team

C Matt Wieters Best of relatively weak class. Gary Sanchez was the runner up with only 229 PA
1B Miguel Cabrera
2B Robinson Cano Although Altuve had the superior offensive numbers, Cabno's defensive contibutions gave him the edge as the all star
3B Josh Donaldson Four of my top 6 rated position players were 3B. Donaldson's offense gave him the nod over the superior fielding of Machado, Beltre,and Seager.
SS Carlos Correa Correa's significantly better offense kept him ahead of Lindor's much better defense.
RF Mookie Betts best offensive and defensive RF. Well ahead of Eaton; the runner up
CF Mike Trout Twenty-five runs ahead of anyone else offensively, an above average fielder. No question as to who is best.
LF Adam Eaton Gardner was the best LF, but Eaton is about 2.5 wins better as a RF.
DH David Ortiz What more can I say?

SP
John Verlander
Corey Kluber
Mashiro Tanaka
Chris Sale
Jose Qunitana

RP
Andrew Miller
Ryan Dull

Closer Zach Britton

5. MrC. Posted: October 21, 2016 at 12:28 PM (#5331078)

OK, this is weird. I, of course, hope that someone will come up with a Win Shares list, since I'm doomed without one. However, I noticed something VERY odd in the WAR rankings. There are FOUR position players listed ahead of ANY pitcher, and the pitcher rankings are generally in line with my normal opinion. As you all know by now, I've been very unhappy with WAR's high rankings of pitchers for "years" now. To see a year where WAR looks sane is just, well, odd. - Brock Hanke

7. DL from MN Posted: October 24, 2016 at 10:23 AM (#5332768)

Brock - those are the WAR numbers as calculated by Baseball Gauge (gWAR). I usually post baseball reference WAR (rWAR) and Win Shares. Those numbers are now available at baseball gauge. There is also Fangraphs WAR (fWAR).

http://www.seamheads.com/baseballgauge/year.php?yearID=2016

8. bjhanke Posted: October 28, 2016 at 12:38 AM (#5336405)

DL - I can find BB-Ref WAR easily. But I have no idea whatsoever how to find Win Shares. I tried your link to baseball gauge, and found the site, but could not find anything that said Win Shares, or pointed me to them in any other way. Can you tell me how to find Win Shares, either on Baseball Gauge or somewhere else? Thanks! - Brock

9. DL from MN Posted: October 28, 2016 at 10:08 AM (#5336484)

At Baseball Gauge go to Seasons - 2016. At 2016 there is a button at the top where you can choose your metric. Win Shares is in the list. Also, when you hover over the player there is a list of performance by metric.

10. DL from MN Posted: October 31, 2016 at 05:31 PM (#5339430)

2016 prelim

1) Mike Trout - about 20 runs better on offense than anyone

3) Jose Altuve - solid bat
4) Kris Bryant - better fielder than I thought
5) Josh Donaldson
6) Robinson Cano
7) Corey Seager
8) Manny Machado
9) Justin Verlander - top pitcher
10) Kyle Seager
11) Corey Kluber - no postseason credit yet
12) Brian Dozier
13) Max Scherzer
14) Adrian Beltre
15) Carlos Correa

16-20) Nolan Arenado, Francisco Lindor, Ian Kinsler, Clayton Kershaw, Jean Segura
21-25) Adam Eaton, Buster Posey, Noah Syndergaard, Carlos Martinez, Freddie Freeman

11. DL from MN Posted: November 02, 2016 at 05:04 PM (#5341922)

We will vote on the 2016 MMP at the end of November

12. OCF Posted: November 04, 2016 at 12:00 AM (#5345679)

One thought after watching some of the World Series: I cannot recall ever seeing another pitcher who was quite as poor at defense as Jon Lester (especially if you consider controlling baserunners to be part of defense). And pitcher is a position with significant defensive responsibilities; a pitcher can't hide. However, the methods I like to use for evaluating pitchers typically start with RA - and if one does that, then there is no need to separately consider pitcher defense, since it should all be accounted for in RA. However, if you use methods that start with FIP stats, you really do need to think about defense.

13. ThickieDon Posted: November 04, 2016 at 12:56 PM (#5345935)

8. Corey Seager
9. Manny Machado
10. Brian Dozier

15. Francisco Lindor - post-season bonus

14. Qufini Posted: November 13, 2016 at 12:24 PM (#5352414)

2016 Prelim Ballot

1. Mike Trout, CF, Los Angeles Angels: ho hum, just another incredible season from the modern Willie Mays
2. Jose Altuve, 2B, Houston Astros: I actually had Altuve ahead of Trout midway through the season but a second half swoon drops Jose all the way to second place
3. Kris Bryant, 3B/OF, Chicago Cubs: third in NL OPS+ but added solid defense and defensive flexibility
4. Kyle Hendricks, P, Chicago Cubs: Led the majors in ERA+ by a full 24 points; more IP might have pushed him past his teammate for tops in the NL
5. Josh Donaldson, 3B, Toronto Blue Jays: top five in AL in OPS+ and RC
6. Mookie Betts, RF, Boston Red Sox: only a 131 OPS+ but makes up a lot of ground with his glove (+32) and his feet (+9)
7. Freddie Freeman, 1B, Atlanta Braves: 157 OPS+ was 2nd in NL and +9 fielding was Gold Glove worthy
8. Daniel Murphy, 2B, Washington Nationals: 4th in NL OPS+ with 157 but -11 fielding drops him back a bit
9. Robinson Cano, 2B, Seattle Mariners: +11 fielding for the old guy to go with 138 OPS+
10. Madison Bumgarner, P, San Francisco Giants: 226 IP with a top 4 ERA+ of 149
11. Jon Lester, P, Chicago Cubs: better ERA+ than Bumgarner (164) but also fewer IP (202)
12. Corey Seager, SS, Los Angeles Dodgers: one of the all-time great rookie seasons
13. Nolan Arenado, 3B, Colorado Rockies: +20 fielding to go with top ten OPS+
14. David Ortiz, DH, Boston Red Sox: the best pure bat in the AL; 2nd to Trout with a 162 OPS+
15. Max Scherzer, P, Washington Nationals: not much daylight between Bumgarner, Lester and Scherzer

16. Corey Kluber, P, Cleveland Indians: best pitcher in the AL
17. Rick Porcello, P, Boston Red Sox: I was wrong about Porcello
18. Brian Dozier, 2B, Minnesota Twins
19. Joey Votto, 1B, Cincinnati Reds: gave back a lot of value on defense
20. Tanner Roark, P, Washington Nationals
21. Justin Verlander, P, Detroit Tigerts
22. Kyle Seager, 3B, Seattle Mariners: is this the best brother combo since Joe & Dom DiMaggio?
23. Anthony Rizzo, 1B, Chicago Cubs
24. Manny Machado, 3B, Baltimore Orioles
25. Miguel Cabrera, 1B, Detroit Tigers

Strong postseasons from Donaldson, Kershaw, Kluber, Bryant, Lindor, Scherzer will impact my ballot.

Andrew Miller is my reliever of the year but he won't make the ballot.

I got this response from Mike Gimbel

"retrosheet has not published the play-by-play data yet! can't do an evaluation."

When did retrosheet publish 2015 data? How long would I need to keep the ballot open to get this data as part of the analysis?

Thanks for the prelim cardscardscards. I don't see anything unusual about your ballot. Although I would like more comments you explained your method at the top in sufficient detail. Feel free to post to the ballot thread.
