Front Page: Twins Player Acquisition Tree
Ur_worst_nightmare replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
What is the point of this? To map out the twins ancestry? fWAR is not an accurate statistic to use to determine the team for each given year however. For instance, you forgot the twins MVP from 2019, Nelson Cruz. Because he doesn't show up in fWar because he doesn't play the defense very often. fWar is focused on Fielding. If you want to be objective about determining each seasons players, you should go by player who played the most games at the position by running a macro to https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/MIN/2019.shtml - rather than populating everything manually. Just one big macro for aggregation, then you can define WAR. Also, baseball reference defines all of the twins transactions as well, so u can query that (https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/MIN/2019-transactions.shtml) rather than guessing or manually researching the person yourself. What I would like to see any article on is how to reasonably quantify a managers WAR. (ie games lost in the last couple innings would mean this dude is replaceable). Just an idea on a cool topic. Honestly, not in love with the Twins family tree. But then again, look at ancestry.com...its huge! So maybe this could be the next big thing, I'm going to buy the domain bancestry.com right now.
