       The Monte Carlo simulation plays out uncertain situations.
       Analysts use this method to play out innings. This chapter goes
       into detail on how the simulation works in Excel. The Monte
       Carlo simulation works on every player no matter how bad or good
       the player is.

       In Chapter 4, it explains how Runs Created and Linear weights
       can be very inaccurate and introduces the Monte Carlo
       simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation is a computer model that
       repeatedly plays out an uncertain situation.

       In chapter 4, it talks about the monte Carlo simulation which is
       a computer model to repeatedly play out an uncertain situation.
       The Term "Monte Carlo simulation" was coined by the Polish-born
       physicist Stanislaw Ulam. Physicist and astronomers use the
       simulation to simulate the evolution of the universe. Using this
       method in baseball we can play out many innings and averaging
       the number of runs scored per inning.

       Chapter four is about the Monte Carlo Simulation. A Monte Carlo
       Simulation is a computer model that repeatedly plays out an
       uncertain situation. In this chapter the Monte Carlo Simulation
       was used to simulate how many runs a team of nine Ichiro's would
       score. The simulation for 2004 Ichiro determined that a team of
       nine Ichiro's would 6.92 runs a game. This number punitive
       compared to the same simulation for Barry Bonds which determined
       a team of nine bonds would a ginormous 21.02 runs a game.

       Chapter four introduces the Monte Carlo situation which is
       developing a computer model to repeatedly play out an uncertain
       situation. The origin dates back to the 1930's when a physicist
       used the simulation to determine the chance for the chain
       reaction needed for an atom bomb to detonate. This simulation
       can be implemented into many fields besides sports and science.

       Chapter four also uses the Monte Carlo simulation to determine
       Icharo's 2004 season, Normar's 1997 season, and Bonds' 2004
       season estimated runs per game. Bonds came on top with a
       projected 21.02 following Icharo with 6.92 and lastly Normar
       with 5.91, but it doesn't account for all of Bonds' walks during
       that season with a total of 232. Pitchers would rather pitch to
       other players who weren't as skilled. When this is applied
       Bonds' projected is now 15.98.

       Chapter four talks about the Monto Carlo simulation that plays
       out an uncertain situation repeatedly.  This simulation is used
       to simulate the evolution of life by physicists and astronomers.
       Monto Carlo is also used in baseball to play out the innings.
       You can get this simulation on excel.

       Chapter 4 discussed the Monte Carlo simulation, which is when a
       computer model repeatedly plays out an uncertain situation. The
       name comes from a Polish physicist. The simulation uses examples
       from chapters 2 and 3 to compare the concepts and to compare
       players.
