Lets start off with the Roundoff:
Joe Mauer and the Twins, according to ESPN, reached a 4 year/33mil ext today. Mauer previously rejected adeal from them when he wanted to go about 1.2 mil more, they avoid arbritation with this move.
Some Corrections: (for the last post)
Thanks for pointed out LaRoche was traded, i knew that, i really did, just slipped my mind.
And yes, i do realize i misspelled loopers first name, but he blew a lot of wins for Pedro, i guess ill just misspell his first name for that.
This next statistical trick is for all you betters out there. There is a way to tell the chance of a batters first hit (with regard to whether it comes in his first at bat, second, and so forth). This stat is called geometretic probability and also can be calculated via a TI-83. Once again we are going to use our golden boy David Wright. The last number in the parethesis represents the AB that he will get his first hit. Therefore, if he gets his first hit in his third AB, that means he was 1-3 going 0-2 for his first two.
Geometpdf(.311,1): .311
Geometpdf(.311,2): ..214
Geometpdf(.311,3): .148
Geometpdf(.311,4): .103
Geometpdf(.311,5): .070
Now the better way to use this stat is the Geometeric Probabilty Cummiltive. What that means is the number that is crunched out is the probabilty that his first hit will come within two AB, three AB, and so forth. In other words, these probabilities represent that lets say by the 7th inning he has had 3 ABs, the number would represent the probability that he has had his first already.
Geometcdf(.311,1): .311
Geometcdf(.311,2): .525
Geometcdf(.311,3): .673
Geometcdf(.311,4): .775
Geometcdf(.311,5): .845
Once again these stats mean what u make of them, i like them cause they are just fun to make. Coming up i still have the fantasy line up review of the Mets Vs the Marlins, Nationals, Yankees and Orioles, and any other requested teams. Im also gonna do a review of a great website for photos and maybe a card box review of a new product that deserves some recognition.
