lineup builder tool

by mtalken on Sep 9, 2007 11:25 AM EDT

This is a pretty brief diary, but basically all I was wondering about is a tool I remember coming across once, probably linked off of this site.

The tool allowed you to plug in players and their numbers and it would tell you (theoretically, of course) how many runs different lineups with those players would score.

I did several searches from on here to on baseball musings(it seems like it'd be something they'd come up with) to just google. I couldn't find it. Maybe I'm calling it the wrong thing.

If anyone around here knows what I'm talking about and has a link, I would greatly appreciate it if it were posted here.

Thanks!

And, you know what, I just wish one of these idiot announcers from the other organizations who mock LaRussa for batting the pitcher 8th, usually under the guise of objectively analyzing the debate, would visit this site, just once and plug in their team's lineup or the Cards'. Not one time would the pitcher be batting 9th in the team's best 20 lineups!

according to this

Pujols should either lead off or hit 2nd. Btw, in every model the pitcher is batting 8th.

and i used two pitchers

wainwright and piniero. figured that was about as big a spread numbers-wise I could get.

Just for fun

I plugged in:

Ryan
Ankiel
Pujols
Duncan
Ludwick
Rolen
Molina
Wainwright
Miles

And got back:

Ryan
Pujols
Miles
Ankiel
Duncan
Ludwick
Rolen
Wainwright
Molina

Shrug. Miles hitting third bewilders me. Also not fair because Ryan, Ankiel, and Ludwick all have skewed numbers due to playing part time -- plus Rolen is out and Wainwright can't pitch every day.

I love Edmonds, but running through the OBP/SLG for the Cardinals only confirmed the fact that he's playing at the expensive of more productive younger guys right now.
