New Blog: Five For Howling - for Coyotes fans Bar-right-arrows



Questions, musings, etc. from a few hours on StatCorner

Point 1 - thanks to the folks behind StatCorner, it's occupied a pretty good chunk of my day. Any chance we can get league average rates posted in the pop-up stat buttons though? Or was this intentional to encourage people like me to try and remember these numbers...

Also, any way we could get a short explanation in the glossary of something like the standard deviations of the various stats, so we have some frame of reference as to what's really good or really bad?

The search feature is awesome. Any word on when StatCorner minors might be coming?

Is Felix's walk rate a sign of trouble? His strike% looks to be down about 1.1% over last year - is this enough to lead to a nearly 3% spike in walk rate, or is this just some SSS wonkiness?

Cha Seung Baek's tRA+ is 108 for the season, and he's put together a decent 9.4% SwStr% and over 65% strikes while starting for SD. Beneficiary of moving to the NL, a guy who was always decent, luck, or some combination of the above?

Jonathan Sanchez has been a lot better than I thought he was

Adam Jones makes me sad... 1.8 runs below average as a 22 year old CF with good defense.

Points

1. I’ll look into it. I don’t want to crowd the pop-up, but it’s a good idea.
2. It’s on the docket, but pretty far down.
3. ETA is still this winter.

Cha Seung Baek is, was, and will be a decent, averagey starter

I’ll get over this eventually, but we are doomed to repeat our Silva-style mistakes until this org understands that. Cha Seung Baek is a test.

Jared Wells….

My question has to do with Roy Corcoran…. he’s been lights out due to a freakish LD rate, but while he may be able to stay on the good side of average, he clearly can’t keep this up ( see his career tRA numbers). What’s a reasonable expectation going forward, and what’s the year to year correlation for LD rate, especially for relievers?

Not great, but y2y correlation on groundballs is.

Corcoran isn’t this good, but if he maintains a GB rate anywhere near this high, he’ll be yet another randomly generated decent middle inning relief option that in a few years we should trade off for yet another one time promising now diminished due to injury starting pitching prospect from the Giants or Marlins.

Say what you want,

but Dontrelle Willis puts asses in seats.

Of course he does

He’s got a big family.

The only stat missing that I'd like to see is Games Started for SPs...

It’s slightly annoying to have to go to baseball-reference for it when nearly everything else is on statcorner.
