And thanks for FG for hosting them and bringing them to a larger audience.
I know this isn’t necessarily the right place for my comment- but has Fangraphs done any analysis on which fans put out the best year-to-year player projections? I’d be interesting in something like that.
this should be taken down, its completely useless and a matter of opinion. Theres no hard scouting done for this at all, for shame fangraphs for endorsing this mockery.
Wisdom of crowds anyone?
imho, FSR > UZR.
I’ve seen people say this before, and it’s absolutely ridiculous, the problem people have with defensive stats are that the hit location is subjective, Peter Jensen did a study and found that at most the hit location was off by 10 feet, usually 4 feet. Then totally biased fans just rate players, so the one criticism of UZR is much worse in FSR. How could it be better. Please explain your opinion. I like FSR, it’s another cool stat we get to have, and I like how it’s broken down so we can see a player’s defensive components, but I don’t take it seriously when thinking about value. xeifrank please explain your opinion.
I have used both in my simulations. Use of FSR instead of UZR does better against the Vegas lines for me. I have played around with various calibrations/regressing techniques for UZR but it doesn’t quite measure up. Sure, neither is perfect… but given the choice…
