I wonder if the sabermetrics guys put too much emphasis on TRYING to hit home runs. Do they take into account the higher out rate when they try to hit homers?
It is easy to see why the Texas Rangers are so much better than the Mariners. They have 12 players hitting above 280 and several above 300. The Mariners have none.
For fellow economist. Much of controversy over discount rates is the mistaken attempt to marry normative preferences with DR. It is much better to handle normative considerations separately and not to complete the DR debate.
I don't understand it If the Mariners did what I told them we would be in second place. I tell when to remove the pitcher, when to leave him in, and how the batting line should be structured. I am right every time. They don't listen. Dang
