Picture of Dominance

Posted in Baseball by Chris at 11:09

Here’s a snapshot of my post-mortem analysis of my 12 team, 5×5, roto, redraft league results:

That’s points in hitting on the X axis (higher is better, max = 60), and points pitching on Y (higher is better, max = 60). A perfectly balanced team would be on the line of y = x (visually, 45 degrees up and to the right). The further you are from the line, the more imbalanced you are. The closer you are to origin, the worse your team. That big blog out there on the top right? The balanced one with no one even near it? That’s me. Even with high variability put in (+- 3 points in both axis), I’ve got lots of room to spare.

Domination, thine name is Chris.

Too bad I can never leave well enough alone and will tinker with this team, probably right into the ground.

So, who makes up this dominating team?

How can I make a cool looking graph of my team/s ?

Right now, it’s

C	Mccann, Brian
C	Willingham, Josh
1	Morneau, Justin
2	Utley, Chase
3	Blalock, Hank
S	Furcal, Rafael
MI	Kinsler, Ian
CI	Wilkerson, Brad
O	Sheffield, Gary
O	Crisp, Coco
O	Bonds, Barry
O	Granderson, Curtis
O	Patterson, Corey
U	Dejesus, David
P	Santana, Johan
P	Ryan, B.j.
P	Gonzalez, Mike
P	Lackey, John
P	Bonderman, Jeremy
P	Madson, Ryan
P	Loaiza, Esteban
P	Ray, Chris
P	Liriano, Francisco

The graph is just a bubble graph. Same thing as a scatterplot with variability bars.

Nothing like 6 leadoff hitters, I say. Going to be scuffling for RBIs again. Bench has F. Thomas and R. Zimmerman on it, so I’ve got some flexibility.

As Patterson’s just lost the starting job, he’s being replaced with Dejesus and F. Thomas in Util so long as the Big Hurt is healthy.
