So as not to provide advance scouting and trade prospect evaluation film? Or is providing Spring training game film to the other teams required? Is that random enough?

Yes, but only with the help of injuries to key personnel on competing wildcard teams.

This late in the season and with our guys not having as much past data to go off of, a lot more than 3% v/s 15% in this instance. And if past data is that much important, then why did it change to 3% v/s 6% after only 2 more games played each. That’s a crazy swing in a very short time. I think it is a horrible useless stat.

So data before opening date weighs that much more in factoring POFF than the current year’s body of work in this calculation? If so, I personally put little confidence in this metric.

Speaking of perspective, can someone tell me why the Red Sox have a POFF of 15.9% and the Orioles POFF sits tremendously lower at 3%? We are better in run differential and record. Is this a real data driven stat or something ESPN cooked up to promote their favs?

A lot of us are back. This is a great message board. I’m lucky that 2 of my favorite 3 teams have an outstanding message board to come to. Baltimore Orioles via Orioles Hangout and VCU Mens Basketball via Ram Nation.

It’s been so long for me, I had to reset my password just to post. My last post was 5 years ago!
