My fantasy team pulled out another win, making us 3-1. We won by
10 but it could have been more if we would have subbed andrew
luck in or Rodgers. Next week is also looking like a game in the
win column. Hopefully we can add another and go on a 4 game win
streak.

Making the questions for the mathletics self quiz was pretty
tough. I found it difficult to make questions that weren't too
easy or too hard. It took a little bit longer than expected but
my quiz is solid.

My fantasy team exceeded my expectations but they honestly
didn't really need to for that opponent. But they do this week
because the competition is a lot better no offense to close your
eyes but they're pretty bad. I don't need projections anymore
because they tend to be inaccurate and cause me to miss out on a
lot of points. This week is a pretty good matchup and I'm
looking forward to it.

Chapter 9 is discussing how to used the Player Win Averages to
evaluate trade offers and fair salaries. This approach is great
because it allows coaches, managers, and scouts to compare the
value of relief pitchers and starting pitchers to the value of
batters. One VORPP is worth $77million/74,000=$1,040. An average
player creates value by keeping bad players from playing.

A paragraph in chapter 8 discusses how base running ability is
factored into player win averages and it breaks it down to three
key factors; stealing bases often and not getting out, rarely
grounding into double plays, and taking the base when hit by a
pitch.

Chapter 10 discusses how a park's factors can affect the game.
Park factors can influence runs scored, home runs hit, and more.
15% more runs are scored in Coors Field while in Petco Field,
14% fewer runs are scored.

In chapter 10 it talks about park factors and how it can affect
a player's runs per game. About 15% more runs are scored in the
Coors field than an average National League Park. In the Coors
field the air is much thinner which makes the ball be carried
further. When evaluating two players who play at different
parks, we use an HR adjustment for park equation.

Chapter 9 explains how we can use Player Win Averages to see if
a player is paid fairly. The term VORPP is the opposite of WAR,
because it is the value of the replacement player. VORPP =
SAGWIN points + 5.97 x (plate appearances).

My case study is coming along very well. I've learned a lot so
far about the 3-pt line and how much of a game changer it is.
