Ok Manny is overpaid...but so is Jeter, Bernie, Giambi, A-Rod, Brown...whats your point?

Jeter and A-Rod are overpaid? How?

Jeter brings many intangibles to the Yankees, and A-Rod is the only true 40-40 guy in the history of the game.

Please go back to NYYFans.com to talk with other people who think that "intangibles" are worth $19.6 million per year. Sure, that dive into the stands last year proves he should be the fourth highest paid player in baseball. He's a good player, but Captain Intangibles needs to stop his little jackknife away from the plate, butt thrust, called third strike move.

I'll do whatever the hell I want.

Nate Silver last year I think it was had an article talking about relating win shares to salary. It was an excellent article but due to BP having a worse search engine then here I can not find it. Hell it might have been two years ago.

Basically though it talks about there is an exponential relationship between a players "value" (win shares is good) and his salary.

Here is a link to a site which compared someones Win Shares to their salary. Its from 2003 but still...head to about 5 from the bottom of the list and see whos there.

Here is some partial info from last year Here

[/ QUOTE ]

This is talking about how A-Rod and Jeter are overpaid

[/ QUOTE ]
oh, i thought it was supposed to something meaningful

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah good point...any reply to a post from Dead is likely to result in something meaningless

Let me just say that I am speechless...I never saw that coming. To sum it up

Nixon is an above average RF and you would not find him on a tree

Bernie, Womack and Tino are allow arguably below average players at their positions at this stage in their career and could be found on the proverbial "tree"

Yes Manny is overpaid but so is Jeter, A-Rod, Bernie, Mussina and Giambi.

Im done with this.

OBP, same thing.

[/ QUOTE ]

NO it's not the same thing.

In baseball statistics, on-base plus slugging (denoted by OPS) is defined by the sum of on base percentage (OBP) and slugging percentage (SLG).

You don't know enough about this topic.

[/ QUOTE ]

Neither do you. OPS...yawn.

That's ok, I'm not sure being seen in a positive light by you correlates with anything. You like Snoop Dogg, after all.

Jack of Arcades · #**107** 04-11-2005, 10:39 PM

Bernie Williams is light years ahead of Trot Nixon in career value and will likely end up this way.

ThaSaltCracka · #**108** 04-11-2005, 10:42 PM

you are right, I like successful people.

Dude, there are ways to compute this, you know. It's quite simple. Over the past ten years, the Red Sox have scored roughly 3% more runs at home than on the road. Meanwhile, the Yankees have scored roughly 3% less runs at home than on the road.

Can you show me where you found this? It doesn't surprise me at all that the Red Sox would score more at home simply beacuse of home field advantage but it does surprise me that the Yankees would score less.
