We now depart the orderly, neat world of linear weights for the frontiers of offensive evaluation/rate stat development. Allow me to posit t...

This installment will tie up a few miscellaneous loose threads pertaining to rate stats to be used within a linear weights framework. The fi...

In the last post, we ended with a dilemma: we have a metric (linear weights RAA/PA) that we believe is correct for a linear framework, but i...

Last time, I attempted to demonstrate that linear weights producing a result in terms of runs above average properly account for the value o...
