PAWS

[Edman85]

A little something I'm working on... I'm calling it PAWS, not sure what P stands for, but it is a Tigers-specific version of JAWS. I'm hoping to have a live tracker ready for opening day, but as a teaser, the top 10 (and ties) catchers* in Tigers history.

Catcher	First Year	Last Year	PAWS
Bill Freehan	1961	1976	67.5
Lance Parrish	1977	1986	49.4
Mickey Tettleton	1991	1994	29.3
Johnny Bassler	1921	1927	27.9
Ivan Rodriguez	2004	2008	26.4
Alex Avila	2009	2017	24.2
Mickey Cochrane	1934	1937	22.9
Brad Ausmus	1996	2000	15.4
Matt Nokes	1986	1990	13.3
Red Wilson	1954	1960	12.2
John Wockenfuss	1974	1983	12.2

 

*Position defined by plurality of games played as a Tiger.

Jake Rogers is at 8.6, Dillon Dingler at 7.1.

OK, I’ll bite: 67.5 what?

JAWS is career WAR and WAR7 (Top 7 WAR years).

This is WAR and WAR4 with the Tigers, but a composite between Reference and Fangraphs.

(I have not factored in postseason yet, nor have I figured out a fair way to bump up War years, but I plan on tackling in time... Just getting the databases set up now)

Interesting—how are you weighting Reference vs Fangraphs? Is it different for pitchers versus position players? Also, are you using FG WAR for pitchers, or RA9-WAR at all? Sees to me it should be the former to match up with Reference, although RA9-WAR is much more results-oriented, which factors into Hall voting more than a WAR figure used more to project future performance.

No Duke Sims tells me your data is flawed.

This is really interesting.  Producing a live tracker is not something I have done before, so I am curious .  Are you using excel to do this? The hardest part would seem to be getting data from sites automatically.  How are you dealing with baseball-reference which doesn't allow aotomated scraping?

67.5 watts per channel, baby cakes.

is that RMS or just peak?

Yes.

OT, but I've been looking at audio amps recently. I still have a class B rig (110 W/ch RMS) I built years ago and all the new stuff is class D, and it's actually not always easy to get an answer to that question. In large part because the Class D people feel it's irrelevant for class D amps.

May not be live live, but I'm pretty sure I can use power query and force it a .csv, which wouldn't take very long.
