Cy Young Voting
September 10, 2014 at 04:14AM View BBCode
So this [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=9805844]guy[/url] finished 5th in Cy Young voting. [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp? This player=nobody&mode=stats&id=9934547]guy[/url] didn't place in the top 5. Seems a bit strange. Player B had a better ERA, more CGs, more SHOs, more IP and more K's (League leading 241). Player A had 1 less loss, less HA, less BB, and a better WHIP. They both had 19 Wins. Obviously I'm biased towards my player (Player B), but doesn't it seem like he had the better season?

The only other relevant part of the formula is this: ((5*IP/9)-ER)
McCormick gets 62.5 there, and Cullop gets 54.5.
It's a close one, but Cullop gets on the board for making the playoffs.
The formula is: ((5*IP/9)-ER) + (SO/12) + (SV*2.5) + Shutouts + ((W*6)-(L*2)) + 12 points if your team makes the playoffs.

Walks, hits, and CG aren't in the formula, I did not know that, SHO are just worth 1 point, so McCormick gains 2 there, but you get 12 for making the playoffs, which gives Cullop a 10 point lead. Cullop gains 2 on the losses, now up 12. The strikeout difference is worth less than a point.The only other relevant part of the formula is this: ((5*IP/9)-ER)

It has correctly predicted 18 of the past 24 Cy Young winners, and three times it was wrong due to predicting relievers, who baseball just seems unable to figure out in the award process, to win the Cy Young.

The SIM Cy Young formula is the Neyer-James formula, devised by ESPN's Rob Neyer and Bill James, the father of advanced stats.It has correctly predicted 18 of the past 24 Cy Young winners, and three times it was wrong due to predicting relievers, who baseball just seems unable to figure out in the award process, to win the Cy Young.

Must be some real good pitching, or a real imbalance in the league for any guy with 19 wins to not make the top 5. Either one of those seasons could win a Cy Young in some years.Pages: 1
