2008年展望 - 王建民
現在該輪到洋基投手了。數據顯示每個位置的球員對球隊競爭力都有貢獻,所以投手
要作的是不要阻礙球隊的勝利。首先,來看看洋基開幕日可能的投手─王建民。
: 2007
: After a solid regular season that saw Wang rank as one of the top 15 starting
: pitchers in the American League by most measures came a disastrous postseason
: that was the chief reason the Yankees did not advance out of the ALDS.
: Unfortunately, this tarnished what was an overall good season and led to
: many Yankee fans wanting him shipped out for pennies on the dollar because
: he's teh unclutch.
2007年
王用堅強的固定先發表現使自己名列美國聯盟前15名頂尖投手群中,但他災難性的季後賽
是洋基無法晉級的主因。不幸地,這成為一整個好球季的汙點,並讓許多洋基迷希望他
被便宜交易出去。
: Wang is the type of player that can't be easily projected. To this point in
: his career Wang has done three things well. He suppresses HRs, he walks
: fewer batters than average, and he allows a lower percentage of hits on
: balls in play than the average. The walk rate is a skill that can't be
: taken away from him. HRs allowed are normally a function of a pitchers'
: fly ball percentage, usually around 11%. In his career, Wang is around
: 7.7%. The league average BABIP is around .304, Wang's career mark is .287.
: So when you regress HR rate and hit rate towards league average as most
: projection systems do, Wang gets penalized more than most pitchers. His
: low K rate doesn't really impact his projections as much as assumed.
王是那種難以被輕易預測的球員。在這點上,王的職業生涯有三件事作得很好。他壓低
全壘打數、比平均更低的四壞率,被打擊率也比平均低─看王的表現不能忽視四壞率。
另外全壘打數一般而言是投手飛球率的函數,平均大約在11%,而王的飛球率為7.7%。
大聯盟平均BABIP為0.304,王的數據是0.287。因此,當你將全壘打率和被打擊率作
迴歸─大多數預測系統如此運作,王被低估的程度比大部分的投手要嚴重。他的低三振率
帶來的負面影響並沒有像預測估計的那麼多。
: Regarding the HR rate, I'm not so sure that we should assume that all fly
: balls are equal. I don't know if anyone has ever studied the correlation
: between HRs per fly ball and ground ball rate, but it may be an interesting
: study. Regarding BABIP, there is at least some anecdotal evidence(註1) that
: Wang allows more easily fieldable ground balls, as do most ground ball
: pitchers.
關於全壘打率,我不確定是否我們應該假設所有的飛球都是一樣的。我不知道是否有人
研究過「每飛球的全壘打率」和「滾地球率」之間的相關,這應該是一個有趣的研究。
關於BABIP,至少有一些證據顯示王被擊出的滾地球比一般滾地球更容易防守,滾地球
投手都是這樣的。
: Wang exceeded his projections pretty significantly in 2007.
在2007年,王的表現大大超越了預測。

(解釋數據)
: Wang saved 15 runs more than expected compared to average. He allowed 10%

王的RSAA比預測的少了15。他被擊出的安打比預測少了10%、全壘打少了95%、三振率高了
21%。他的四壞率比預估的高了11%,這大概是因為他試驗投更多球並改善三振率。
: On the surface, Wang's 2007 was a carbon copy of his 2006. 19-6 with a 3.63

表面上,王的2007年球季是2006年的翻版─19勝6敗、防禦率3.63對比19勝7敗、
防禦率3.7。但如果你稍為仔細注意數據,就會發現不同,特別是一些切割性的數據。
我用不同方式計算一些切割性數據,所以以下的數字會跟其他地方能看到的不同。

左打在2007年對王打得更順手了。他們的平飛球率從16%上升到25%,使的被打擊率升高。
在2005-2006年間,王保送6.4%、三振7.7%的左打。在2007年他保送7.9%、三振7.9%。
而右打,2005和2006的三振率是10.2%,到了2007年成長為18%,同時保送率從5%增加至
6.2%。這些數字告訴我一件事─王在2007年調整自己。觀察2008年球季將是件有趣的
事情。

(數據)
: Projection systems are meant to be objective, so they just look at the

: That's a dominant pitch, even if it doesn't result in strikeouts. It also
: seems like Wang is working on refining his slider and changeup which can only
: help him. It'll be interesting to see if new pitching coach Dave Eiland can
: help Wang in that regard.
預測系統的用意在於客觀,因此他們只看數字,但王的統計數據掩蓋了他的球質。王的
sinker平均速度94英哩─即使它不能製造三振,這仍是一個具支配力的投球。另一方面
王也似乎正在努力讓滑球和變速球更上層樓。觀察新投手教練Dave Eiland是否能在這點
幫助王將是一件有趣的事。
: I see Wang somewhere between the 65% and the baseline projection this year,
: which is basically what he has done to this point in his career.
我在某處看到人們預測小王介乎65%和底線之間,基本上小王已經辦到了。
: Value
: Wang's in his first year of arbitration eligibility, and lost his case with
: the Yankees. He'll make $4 million this season which makes him a bargain
: compared to what teams pay on the free agent market for a marginal win.
價值
王第一年具有仲裁資格,而他輸給球團。這季他將領400萬美元的薪水,相較於球團付
給自由球員的價碼,這是一場合算的交易。
: Proj WAR Proj Value Salary Difference
: 2.8 $12,397,876 $4,000,000 $8,397,876
(預測價值和實領薪水)
: The Yankees have been hesitant to sign Wang to a long-term deal, which
: makes sense given his past injury history and the fact that he is difficult
: to project. If he continues to perform as he has he's probably worth
: around $10-12 million a season.
洋基不願意和王簽長約,看看小王的傷病史和他難以精確預測的表現,這其實合理。
如果他繼續保持現在的表現,他也許一季能值1000-1200萬美金。
: Conclusion
: I know Wang had a bad postseason, but I'm still a fan. He's probably miscast
: as a #1 starter when comparing him to the Johan Santana and Jake Peavy
: class of pitcher, but he's been one of the top fourteen pitchers in the AL
: the last two years, which by definition makes him a top starter. With
: Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain up with the team now, Wang may be
: supplanted as the Yankees' "ace" as soon as this season. Then maybe he'll
: get credit for being what he is, which is a good solid starter that ANY
: team in baseball would be glad to have.
結論
我知道王有一個糟糕的季後賽,但我仍是他的粉絲。跟桑塔那和皮維等級的投手比,他大
概被誤植成第一號先發。但他在過去兩年已經是美國聯盟頂尖14名投手之一。現在
休斯和張伯倫都在隊上,王作為洋基王牌的地位在這季可能很快被取代。然後也許,
王會因為作真正的自己而得到掌聲─他是一個任何球隊都樂意擁有的堅強先發投手。
