| RC/25 Introduction (5/10) Nelson Lu 21:50:57 |
| | The following posts list major league teams' regular position players' RC/25 by
position. Here are a bit of definitions:
RC/25:
A stat created by Bill James to measure how many runs a lineup of 9
of the same individual would score in a game. (The "real" version is RC/27,
since there are 27 outs in a game; however, since certain stats are not readily
available to us during the season, James has an abbreviated version known as
RC/25 to adjust for the absence of those stats. For the formula to RC/27,
please e-mail me. It is also available in Total Baseball and many other
reference manuals.)
A = H + BB - CS
B = 1.125 * 1B + 1.69 * 2B + 3.02 * 3B + 3.73 * HR + .29 * BB
+ .492 * SB - .04 * SO
(Formerly B = TB + .64 * SB + .24 * BB - .03 * K)
C = AB + BB
RC = ((A + (2.4 * C)) * (B + (3 * C)) / (9 * C)) - (.9 * C)
O = AB - H + CS
RC/25 = RC / O * 25
(The reason why HBP, among other stats, is not included is not because I think
that they're not important; it's that the data sources I use do not include
them with the "primary stats," and therefore, adding HBP and other stats would
effectively require twice the work, and the gain, while considerable, was
judged by me to be not worth it in interim reports.)
There are three additional Bill James adjustments that I do not use:
1. He adjusts for BA with runners on base. Originally, the adjustment was
not published; but it has been, in the most recent STATS Major League
Handbook and other sources. I am, however, not incorporating this
change since I have found this change to be arbitrary and also
increasing team-dependence.
2. He also adds additional points for a non-bases empty HR. Again, this
is highly arbitrary -- why not add points for a non-bases loaded
1B, 2B, or 3B? Further, this increases team-dependence as well, which
reduces the usefulness of RC.
3. He then adds up all players' RC on a team and adjusts it in a factor
that is based on whether the team scored more than it is expected or
less. I find that this defeats the point of RC, so I do not use this
adjustment.
PRC/25:
Park-adjusted RC/25. Park adjustment is a topic that I don't know how
to explain well in a paragraph, so I will not attempt to try. However, many
works that explain it are available on the net, and any search engine should
yield a number of useful articles. For these numbers, only this year's park
factors are used.
Value:
An estimate of how many runs a player is above the ever so elusive
"replacement level" (that is, a level of performance at which a player can
easily be found at little or no cost to a team). For these posts, replacement
level is estimated at 50 points of OBP and 50 points of SLG below the average
for each position.
Notes:
1. For these posts, the players who were traded during the middle of the
season have their park factors prorated by AB + BB with the teams.
(This is not mathematically correct, but is the best I can do for now.)
2. Please send to me corrections if I misplaced someone's position.
"SABREmetrics isn't about statistics, it is about the search for new
evidence." - Bill James (thanks, Bill Reich)

McGuire Tosses Gem as No. 25 Tech Baseball Stops No. 8 Georgia, 11-1
The freshman worked seven strong innings as Tech defeated Georgia for
the second time this season
May 7, 2008
ATHENS, Ga. - Deck McGuire, one of six freshmen to start against No. 8
Georgia Wednesday night, pitched a gem to lead No. 25 Georgia Tech
(34-14) to an 11-1 victory over the Bulldogs (31-16-1) at Foley Field.
The win was the Yellow Jackets' second this season against Georgia, as
Tech improved to 11-0 against teams from the Peach State in 2008.
McGuire (8-0) iced the Bulldog's bats through seven innings, holding
Georgia to just one run on four hits while striking out a career-high
nine batters to pick up his team-leading eighth win of the season.
Andrew Robinson retired the side in the eighth inning on just six
pitches before Taylor Wood closed out the game by tossing the ninth.
Juniors Charlie Blackmon and Luke Murton paced the Yellow Jackets with
three hits apiece. Both players went 3-for-5 with two RBI and three runs
scored against the Bulldogs. Blackmon, Murton and Brad Feltes all hit
home runs to extend Tech's streak to 16-straight games with a homer. It
was the 21st time this season the Yellow Jackets have hit more than one
home run in a game.
Each of Tech's last nine runs were scored with two outs, including both
run-scoring hits by Feltes, who went 2-for-5 with four RBI in the game.

No. 15 Coastal Carolina Holds Off Georgia Tech, 10-9
Jackets hit three more home runs on the day; score three in the ninth
May 3, 2008
ATLANTA - David Sappelt's three-run home run highlighted a five-run
second inning that helped No. 15 Coastal Carolina (38-10) even the
weekend series against Georgia Tech (32-14) as the Chanticleers held off
a Yellow Jacket comeback to win, 10-9, Saturday afternoon at Russ
Chandler Stadium.
Sappelt added another home run, a solo shot, in the top of the fourth
and finished the day 3-for-4 with three runs and four RBI to pace the
Chanticleer's offense on the day. Tommy Baldridge also had a team-high
four hits for Coastal on the afternoon.
After breezing through the first inning, Yellow Jacket starter Eddie
Burns ran into trouble with two outs in the second when Rico Noel hit a
two-run single before Sappelt delivered his first home run of the game
over the center field wall to give Coastal Carolina a 5-0 lead. Burns
(5-4) suffered his fourth loss of the season and was lifted after giving
up the five runs on five hits in two innings of work.
Coastal Carolina starter Cody Wheeler limited Tech to just one run on
three hits while striking out five through his first 5.2 innings of
work, but was tagged for five runs in the bottom of the sixth before
being lifted for Nick McCully, who worked the next 2.1 innings. McCully
held Tech to one run on just two hits while striking out four before a
single by Jeff Rowland chased him from the game in the top of the ninth.

Jackets Knock Off No. 15 Coastal Carolina, 10-6
The Jackets hit four home runs in the game
May 2, 2008
ATLANTA - Brad Rulon worked out of an eighth-inning jam and Jason
Haniger delivered a key two-out hit in the bottom of the frame to help
Georgia Tech (32-13) to a 10-6 win over No. 15 Coastal Carolina Friday
in the series opener at Russ Chandler Stadium.
With runners on second and third and no outs in the top of the eighth,
Rulon struck out Jose Iglesias and Rico Noel before forcing leadoff
hitter David Sappelt to groundout, helping the Jackets maintain a 7-6
edge in the game.
A two-out hit by Tony Plagman preceded three consecutive walks issued by
Chanticleer pitchers for the first run of the eighth inning before
Haniger's bases-loaded single added two more to push Tech's lead to four
runs entering the ninth.
Rulon then closed out the game by retiring the Chants in order to pick
up his fourth save of the season. The senior right-hander allowed just
one hit and struck out three in his two innings of work.
Haniger led all players with three RBI on a 2-for-3 performance at the
plate, while Plagman and Charlie Blackmon added two hits apiece.

Under Add/Drop, if I add a players on waivers and drop a player (on the
add/drop page), is the drop conditional on me getting the player on waivers
when waivers are processed?
I'm assuming the drop will only occur if I get the player on waivers. Is
that correct?

Wake Forest Avoids Sweep With 7-5 Win Over Tech Baseball
Charlie Blackmon had two hits for the Jackets
April 27, 2008
ATLANTA - Allan Dykstra drove in three runs, two of which came on a
seventh-inning home run, to help Wake Forest (17-27, 8-15 ACC) avoid a
sweep at the hands of Georgia Tech (31-13, 12-12 ACC), as the Demon
Deacons pulled out a 7-5 win Sunday afternoon in the series finale at
Russ Chandler Stadium.
Dykstra and Evan Ocheltree each had two hits as the Demon Deacons posted
10 as a team Sunday afternoon.
Ben Hunter (3-5) picked up the win despite giving up five runs on seven
hits to the Yellow Jackets. He worked 8.1 innings before turning the
ball over the Alex Wiesner, who forced a fly out for the second out of
the ninth inning. Phil Negus then picked up his second save of the
season by striking out Luke Murton to end the game.
Tech starter Zach Von Tersch (5-3) suffered his third loss of the season
by yielding four runs, only two of which were earned, on seven hits
through six innings of work. Charlie Blackmon led Tech with two hits,
while Thomas Nichols had a pair of RBI on the afternoon.
The Demon Deacons scored a pair of unearned runs in the top of the

Haniger Powers Tech Baseball to 12-1 Win Over Wake Forest
Duncan gave up just one run on six hits in eight innings of work
April 25, 2008
ATLANTA - Jason Haniger had a career-high five RBI with two home runs
while David Duncan allowed just one run through eight innings to lead
Georgia Tech (30-12, 11-11 ACC) to a 12-1 victory over Wake Forest
(16-26, 7-14 ACC) Friday night at Russ Chandler Stadium.
Haniger went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs and a double to help
Georgia Tech eclipse the 30-win mark for the 26th-consecutive season.
His two-run home run in the second inning gave the Yellow Jackets a 4-0
lead, and he blasted a three-run shot in the seventh inning for his
sixth home run of the season.
Yellow Jacket starter David Duncan improved to 5-2 on the year by
holding the Demon Deacons to one run on six hits in eight innings of
work. He also struck out seven and walked just three before turning the
ball over to Kevin Jacob, who tossed a 1-2-3 ninth inning.
Brad Feltes, Luke Murton and Tony Plagman all had two hits as Tech
posted 13 on the night. Murton's two doubles extended his streak to
seven-straight hits going for extra bases. Thirteen of his last 14 hits
have also been for extra bases, spanning the last six games. The Yellow
Jackets had seven extra-base hits on the night.
An RBI double by Murton and sacrifice fly from Plagman staked the Yellow
Jackets to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning before Haniger's
two-run home run pushed Tech's lead to four runs in the second.

The Bears took a 1-0 lead on a solo home run by Joe Winker to lead off
the bottom of the second inning, but Blackmon tied the game in the top
of the third inning by hitting his fifth home run of the season over the
right field wall.
After an RBI single by Tyler Brown gave the Bears a 2-1 edge in the
bottom of the third, Plagman and Nichols hit home runs in the fourth to
give Tech the lead for good, 4-2.
A three-run home run by Dietrich pushed Tech's lead to 7-2 in the fifth
inning before the Jackets took command of the game with a seven-run
outburst in the sixth. Tech scored its first seven runs of the game on
home runs before Chase Burnette scored from second base on a fielding
error by Mercer shortstop Billy Shaughnessy in the top of the sixth. The

Maryland Comeback Stops Georgia Tech, 14-13
Terps score seven over last two innings in win !
April 19, 2008
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Joe Palumbo hit a walk-off two-run single in the
bottom of the ninth and Maryland (24-17, 7-13 ACC) scored seven runs
over the final two innings to defeat Georgia Tech (27-12, 9-11 ACC),
14-13, Saturday afternoon at Shipley Field.
The Yellow Jackets built a 13-5 lead through six-and-a-half innings, but
Maryland scored twice in the seventh and plated four in the eighth
before scoring three in the bottom of the ninth to win.
After Chris Hicks (0-3) retired the first batter of the ninth inning on
a liner up the middle, Gerry Spessard was hit by a pitch and Bill Rice,
A.J. Casario, Chad Durakis and Palumbo notched four-consecutive singles
to hand the Tech closer his third loss of the season.
The Terrapins pulled within three runs of the Jackets when Will
Greenberg plated three with a two-out single in the bottom of the eighth
inning.
Luke Murton tied a career high with four hits and Georgia Tech pounded
out 18 hits against the Terrapins, but it wasn't enough to get the win.
He continued his torrid hitting with a 4-for-6 performance which
included a home run and two doubles. The Yellow Jacket junior has gone
6-for-10 with two home runs and three doubles in the series and is
hitting .600 (9-for-15) with four home runs, three doubles and seven RBI
on the week.

Maryland Scores Four in the Eighth for 7-5 Win Over Tech
Luke Murton doubles and hit his seventh home run of the season in the
loss
April 18, 2008
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - A two-run double by A.J. Casario highlighted a
four-run eighth inning for Maryland (23-17, 6-13 ACC) as the Terrapins
knocked off No. 21 Georgia Tech (27-11, 9-10 ACC), 7-5, Friday night at
Shipley Field.
Back-to-back run-scoring singles from Will Greenberg and Nick Jowers
tied the game at 5-5 in the eighth inning before Casario plated the two
Terrapins with an opposite-field double to put Maryland up by two.
Dan Gentzler (1-0) faced two Yellow Jackets - one to end the eighth and
the other to begin the ninth - and struck out both batters to earn his
first win of the season before Brett Tidball closed out the game by
forcing a pair of fly outs to pick up his second save.
The Jackets had taken the lead in the top of the eighth inning on a
two-run home run by Brad Feltes, his ninth of the season. The Yellow
Jacket senior also drove in Tech's first run of the game with a
sacrifice fly in the fourth inning to pull Tech to within 3-1 after
Maryland scored three runs in the second inning off Tech starter David
Duncan. Thomas Nichols followed Feltes' sacrifice fly with a run-scoring
double to pull within one run of the Terrapins before Maryland starter
Scott Swinson forced Chris House to ground out to end the threat.

Miami Completes Sweep of Tech, 9-3
Plagman homers for Jackets in losing effort
April 13, 2008
ATLANTA - Yonder Alonso and Adan Severino homered and drove in two runs
each to pace a 16-hit attack, leading No. 1-ranked Miami to a 9-3
victory Sunday at Russ Chandler Stadium and a sweep of the weekend
Atlantic Coast Conference series.
David Gutierrez (2-0), making his fourth start of the season, gave up
three runs in the first three innings, but earned the victory with six
solid innings for the Hurricanes, who improved to 30-3 overall and 15-1
in the ACC. Gutierrez scattered five hits and two walks while fanning
four batters.
Tech, 26-10 overall and 9-9 in the ACC, took its first lead of the
series, scoring single runs in the first three innings, but failed to
score again after Gutierrez settled down and the Miami bullpen shut out
the Jackets in the last three frames.
Derek Dietrich drove in the first Tech run with an RBI single in the
first, and Tony Plagman hit his ninth homer of the season in the second.
Alonso singled home a run and then scored on a passed ball to knot the
score at 2-2 in the third. Tech got the run back in the bottom half when
Thomas Nichols doubled and scored on a passed ball.
Miami tied it again when Jemile Weeks drew a bases-loaded walk from Zach
Von Tersch in the fourth, then grabbed the lead on Severino's two-run
homer in the fifth. Alonso belted a solo shot, his eighth of the season,
to make it 6-3 in the sixth.
Von Tersch (4-2) was relieved after 4-2/3 innings, having given up five
runs on 10 hits and four walks.

No. 1 Miami Sweeps Doubleheader from Jackets
Hurricanes win game two, 15-5; batter Tech pitching for 30 hits in two
games
April 12, 2008
ATLANTA - Blake Tekotte homered twice and drove in seven runs, while
Enrique Garcia scattered eight hits over seven solid innings to lift
top-ranked Miami past No. 10 Georgia Tech, 15-5, and a sweep of
Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference doubleheader at Russ Chandler
Stadium.
The Hurricanes, who improved to 29-3 overall and 14-1 in the ACC to
remain atop the Coastal Division, bolted to a 9-1 lead after three
innings, scoring three times in the first, two in the second and four in
the third.
The Yellow Jackets, who dropped the first game Saturday by a score of
10-5, lost for the fourth time in their last five conference games to
fall to 26-9 overall, 9-8 in the ACC.
"This was an emotionally draining day for us," said Tech coach Danny
Hall. "But give Miami credit for coming out and playing extremely well
today."
Tekotte came within a double of hitting for the cycle, getting a single
in the third, a triple in the fifth and home runs in the seventh and
ninth innings.
Garcia (2-0) also walked four and hit a batter, but managed to limit
Tech to three runs in his stint as the Jackets stranded 10 runners in
the first seven innings.
Tech starter Eddie Burns (4-3) created trouble for himself from the
start, hitting two of the first three batters before Dennis Raben got
Miami on the board with a sacrifice fly. After a walk, Ryan Jackson
doubled home to runs for a 3-0 Hurricane lead. Miami put together three
singles in the second, scoring on Tekotte's sacrifice fly and Jemile
Weeks' RBI hit.

| | The sun shines brighter, the birds sing sweeter every time Tech beats
Georgia!
Game note- Largest crowd (4,609) in Russ Chandler Stadium history.
From www.ramblinwreck.com:
ATLANTA - Luke Murton had four hits and drove in three runs to pace a
16-hit attack, and freshman Deck McGuire tossed 5-2/3 solid innings to
lift Georgia Tech past Georgia, 9-4, in college baseball Wednesday night
at Russ Chandler Stadium.
The first of three scheduled 2008 meetings pitting teams currently
ranked 10th (Georgia Tech, now 26-7) and 11th (Georgia, now 20-12) in
the nation was played before a stadium record crowd of 4,609.
Murton, a junior from McDonough, Ga., had a double and a home run among
his four hits. He singled home a run for Tech in the fifth and capped
the Jackets' scoring with a two-run homer in the eighth. Thomas Nichols
drove in a pair of runs with a double and triple, and Derek Dietrich
added three hits for the Jackets.
"It was a great atmosphere. Next to (NCAA) playoffs, it's probably the
best atmosphere I've ever played in here at Tech. It was an awesome
night for us," said Murton.
