Win Shares?
How do you folks feel about Win Shares? I'd barely looked into them at
all, since I didn't wanna spend $200 (or whatever) for the book, and to me they seem insanely hard to calculate (in the sense of having to track down buttloads of data), but are they a worthwhile measure? Gregg

Win Shares?
I saw a show the other day on Sabermetrics (or however it's spelled).
In some cases, there was a little more clarification but for the most part, it was as clear as mud. Apparently, with win shares, there's a non-quantifiable element involved, which seems go fly in the face of "measure." So, I'm sure there's something to it, but, like you, it's not a concept I've been willing to pore over. Gregg Pearlman wrote: Quote:

Mebbe it's not much more than another entry in the endless search for a single number to rate everybody. What I have seen online (today, anyway) are a number of folks using them in "WS/x"-type calculations. I'm not sure how helpful those would be. I'm game, though. Gregg

Does it stand for: Veterans, Old, Really Pathetic? That seems to describe the Giants really well.

With the negative mindset of this ng in general, I think it's more appropriate to look into "lose shares". Maybe you can look into it and write a piece about it. It'd be interesting to see how much Feliz, or Benitez, or Wright, etc., was responsible for the Giants' losses. Who would lead the Giants in lose shares?
