DRA
Peter Gammons stated last year that fielding is the Next Big Thing in sabremetrics and he couldn't have been more right: on the heels of Dave Pinto's Probalistic Model of Range (PMR), a major work on sabremetric fielding, comes Michael Humphries Defensive Regression Analysis (DRA). I'll let you read all about it at the Hardball Times. Part I explaining DRA is here.
I think DRA is interesting stuff. Anything that can expand our knowledge of defense and what makes a successful defense is valuable. When I get a few free moments I'll expand on the topic, but for now I'll let Mike's work speak for itself.
Click here for Part II.
Click here for Part III.
(I'll expand a little on what he says about the Phillies later.)
I forewarn everyone that next week will be a light week: my wife is taking the bar exam. I'll still post something monday.
