When I Say Sell You Say Haren

Sell, Haren. Sell, Haren.

Why? Because Dan Haren pre All-Star Break equals God. Dan Haren post All-Star Break equals pedestrian. Just take a look at his splits from the last four seasons, Pre-All Star Break is in Powder Blue, Post-All Star Break is in Magenta.




This is no coincidence. It is a trend. If you can sell high on him now and you are not in a keeper league, do it.

so whats the probility of this? Well, let's assume a player has the same ability in the 2nd half of the season as the 1st half of the season. Then, due to random chance, we'd expect a 50% chance of having a better statistical 2nd half and a 50% chance of having a better 1st half. Thus, the probability of someone having 4 stright 'bad' 2nd halves is .5^4=0.625. So there's a 93.75% chance that something more than 'randomness' is accounting for this. TRADE HIM!

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
