July 29, 200719 yr With all the talks of Hermida's eyes, I was wonder what his PA/BB actually was. I mean, you hear all about the 2005 111 walk campain, but what about every other year? Bases on balls is one of those stats that stays real consistent for hitters throughout the years, afterall. Basically sharing this with how my thought process was going throughout it. Note: Format is Year-PA per BB/# of PA, BB over a 650 PA season based of PA per BB ratio Minors: 2002-9.4/203 69bb 2003-7.0/556 93bb 2004-9.4/393 69bb 2005-4.6/506 141bb Majors: 2005-7.8/47 83bb 2006-10.5/348 62bb 2007-8.0/255 81bb Nothing is static, his walk numbers are all over the place. Hell, you compare his high to his low in BB-over-650 PA and you're looking at a difference seventy-nine walks. Infact, looking at it, that 4.6 PA/BB year looks nothing more then a statistically anomaly. Is he going to be nothing more then a mid 7 to mid 8 PA/BB guy? (Which, by all means, is good. But you compare that to his 4.6 PA/BB campaign and you get dissapointed) Well, the initial problem with this is the massively low amount of sample size in major league PAs, expecially considering he was injured (though, his eyes weren't injured, but still physcological effects need to be taken into consideration.). Is his minor league PAs really worth looking at? Afterall, the whole point in the minors is to get better. So how about looking at a couple guys and seeing how their minor league numbers looked compared to their major league numbers. First guy that came to mind was Miguel Cabrera. Minors: 2000-10.9/250 59bb 2001-12.5/464 52bb 2002-14.3/544 45bb 2003-9.8/303 66bb Majors: 2003-9.8/346 66bb 2004-10.1/685 64bb 2005-10.7/685 60bb 2006-7.9/676 82bb 2007-9.4/431 69bb So his minors, he had two years close to his normal, and two years higher. Well, what about a high BB guy? First guy I could think of was Adam Dunn. So: Minors: 1998-6.9/151 94bb 1999-8.1/372 80bb 2000-5.4/538 120bb 2001-6.8/421 95bb Majors: 2001-7.5/286 87bb 2002-5.2/676 125bb 2003-6.3/469 103bb 2004-6.3/681 103bb 2005-5.9/671 110bb 2006-6.1/683 107bb 2007-7.4/424 87bb Well, he had one year off his normal amount in the minors, and the rest were pretty on par. So minors aren't exactly same as majors, but for the most part they're on par PA/BB wise but a bit on the high said. You take that in consideration, Hermida's only going to be about a mid 7 to mid 8 PA/BB guy. Well, then I decided to look at Bonds (not including BB over 650 PA, not doing the math for that): Minors: 85-8.0/295 86-5.6/186 Majors: 86-7.4/484 87-11.3/611 88-8.5/614 89-7.3/679 90-6.7/621 91-5.9/634 92-4.8/612 93-5.3/674 94-6.4/474 95-5.3/635 96-5.8/675 97-4.8/690 98-5.4/697 99-5.9/434 00-5.2/607 01-5.7/664 02-3.1/612 (start of massive IBB) 03-3.7/550 04-2.7/617 05-5.8/52 06-4.3/493 07-3.6/349 So, you take the IBB's in consideration and subtract from those, and bonds is a low to high 5 PA/BB guy throughout his career, though he was a lot higher in walks his first few years. His minors can't be taken too much into account (Low PA and only two years), but his first year was high, and his second year was in that range. But he didn't reach this range in the majors until his 6th year in the majors, when he was 27 years old. Does that mean that prime has to do with PA/BB guys? Afterall, Dunn and Cabrera are young. In which case, I would need to look at guys who were young, came in around 20 years old, and are now either retired or past their prime. Three gusy I could think of: Aaron, Griffey, A-Rod. A-rod 94-19.7/59 95-24.8/149 96-11.5/677 97-15.6/638 98-16.6/748 99-10.2/572 00-6.7/672 01-9.8/732 02-8.3/725 03-8.2/715 04-8.7/698 05-7.9/715 06-7.5/674 07-7.6/457 Griffey 89-11.5/506 90-10.5/666 91-8.9/633 92-14/617 93-7.2/691 94-8.8/493 95-6/314 96-8.2/638 97-9.3/704 98-9.5/720 99-7.8/706 00-6.7/631 01-9.4/417 02-8.3/232 03-7.4/201 04-7.9/348 05-10.3/555 06-12.1/472 07-6.3/415 Aaron 54-18/503 55-13.5/660 56-17.7/655 57-11.8/675 58-10.2/664 59-13.6/693 60-11.1/664 61-12/671 62-10.1/667 63-9.2/714 64-10.2/634 65-10.7/639 66-9.1/688 67-10.6/669 68-10.6/676 69-7.3/639 70-8.1/598 71-8.1/573 72-5.9/545 73-6.8/465 74-9.8/382 75-7.8/543 76-8.8/308 Griffey didn't really have a difference outside of statistic anomalies, Aaron didn't have a difference until his mid-30's, and A-Rod started having a drop at 24, and he didn't really hit his prime until 26. So doubt it's a prime thing However, what can be seen: Alex didn't reach his career norm until his 6th year, Griffey his 3rd, and Aaron his 4th. So conclusion: Not enough data on Hermida to conclude Not enough tests to compare properly Wait a few more years and see what happens. I realize by concluding nothing it becomes kind of "pointless" but I thought some people might want to look at the numbers.
July 29, 200719 yr That's a helluva lot of work but that is what happens sometimes, ones works like an SOB and at the of the day you real the only answer you have is no answer. Nice try though.
July 29, 200719 yr But seriously, good effort. Lol dude. Your sig is way too long, but that's hilarious. BACK ON-TOPIC: Good research. My opinion is that wasn't just a fluke, and you can expect Hermida to put up similar BB numbers throughout his career. Of course, I am basing that off of nothing but my blind Marlins homerism, so my opinion means squat.
July 29, 200719 yr omg a hermierda thread with real stats and analysis. This thread is going to disapear soon. The board can't take it. It's going to reject it like a virus.

How is it that according to you he disproved anything about Hermida? And no, this is not a shot at Hermida.. this is a shot at your ridiculous post.

He has a low PA/SO, 4.6. +Morgan Ensberg's PA/BB this year is a lot higher then his career norm (7.6), showing a statisticall anomaly in this years stats. +Like Damon, Roberts is also showing a career high in PA/BB with a career in in P/PA. +Glaus is in the same boat as Ensberg (6.6 career PA/BB) +So is Abreu (6.3 PA/BB), although Abreu has also noticed a drop in .2 P/PA. Youk is also like Abreu (7.4 PA/BB but also a .2 drop in P/PA). -Add Ross to the "never has walked yet high P/PA" list, career PA/BB of 11.2, aswell as Mora (11.0). +Dunn is also showing a statistically anomaly in BB/PA compared to his career numbers (6.0) even though his P/PA is spot on. So if we look at this list, the only people with a PA/BB over 7 is: -Damon, but his high PA/SO could show that he isn't a good variable of comparions. -Reggie Willits. HOwever, like Hermida, his last year in the minors he had a very good PA/BB (5.7, in AAA) and, like Hermida, doesn't have much MLB sample. -Casey Blake -Brandon Inge -Morgan Ensberg -Kevin Millar -Roberts, same boat as Damon -Glaus -Abreu -Youkilis, same boat as Damon -David Ross -Melvin Mora -Adam Dunn You then remove players of poor comparision (Damon, Roberts, Youkalis), players who are showing a statistically anomaly compared to their career numbers (Dunn, Abreu, Glaus, Ensberg), and poor sample size for comparision (willits), that leaves Blake, Inge, Ross, Millar, and Mora. All have high P/PA and yet horrible PA/BB. However, they also didn't walk in the minors (Blake 10.2, Inge 11.7, Ross 9.0, Millar 9.4, Mora 12.2), showing they aren't of good comparision because Hermida had a good minor look PA/BB (6.6) So, looking at the list above with players you can compare Hermida to given his P/PA, PA/SO, and track record, I think chances are REALLY higher we see a rise in Hermidas walks and it's just an anomaly that they are so low right now. That, or the statistically anamoly was just his 111 walk season, because you take that season out and his minor league walk record is 8.0 So....again, wait a few more years and find out? haha

July 30, 200719 yr Why? Because he's disproving the h3rmierda sUx theory? You come up with the most ridiculous stuff. Esam admitted in his conclusion that he proved nothing. How is it that according to you he disproved anything about Hermida? And no, this is not a shot at Hermida.. this is a shot at your ridiculous post. :|
July 30, 200719 yr interesting stuff, although I don't know why you'd use Bonds as a comparison, Bonds is not a good candidate for comparing walk stats with anyone!
July 31, 200719 yr Dude, you need a girl friend. STATISTICAL IGNORANCE ALERT!

July 31, 200719 yr Author Never said 80 wasn't a lot. But that's a lot less then 130 Since his walk numbers have been all over the place, I was trying to figure out if he was an 80 walk guy or a 130 walk guy, which one the anomaly was.

OK, because I am perfectly happy with a consistent 80 walk (and thus a .380 OBP) player.
