2012 ALL-CDBL Teams Below are the 1st and 2nd All-CDBL teams for the 2012 year. Players were selected according to the following formulas: BATVAL = 0.1167*(RUNS+RBI)+(AB+BB)*(OBA+SBSLG-0.735)*0.0710 STARTPITVAL = ((WINS+SAVES)/1.278+IP/10.008*((LN(4.12/ERA)+LN(0.735/OPS)))) RELPITVAL = ((WINS+SAVES)/2.753+IP/6.572*((LN(4.12/ERA)+LN(0.735/OPS)))) For hitters: SBSLG is slugging percentage with net steals (SB - 2*CS) factored in. The 2*CS comes from the general consensus that a player needs to steal 2 bases for every caught stealing if they're going to be effective at it. The weighting factors for sabermetric and rotisserie (runs, RBI) contributions were calculated by first setting them at their starting values (0.09 for each), then running a regression so that the sum values for the top 10 players based on initial values had equal contributions from the sabermetric and rotisserie stats. Hitters only qualified at the position where they've played the most this season, with centerfielders also qualifying in the left/right field positions if they had enough value. For pitchers: The weighting factors for more team oriented stats (wins, saves) and more individual factors (ERA, OPS against) were set to their initial values (For wins/saves: Starters at 1.2, relievers at 1.6, for individual factors: 1/10 for starters, 1/5 for relievers). I know that ERA and OPS are also influenced by fielding and park effects, but the stats are easier to understand and represent better "uneducated media awareness of success" than something like xFIP, even though they are probably somewhat correlated. A regression was also run on the top 10 starters and relievers rated by the initial value such that each group had equal contributions to team oriented stats and individual stats, *and* that the average total values of starters and relievers from each top 10 were equal to the top 10 values in hitters. Starters are those that have at least half of their game appearances as game starts, while relievers are those that do not have at least half of their appearances as game starts. LN is the natural log function. 1ST TEAM ALL-CDBL Name POS Team VAL P Age AVG OBP SPC SBSLG PA AB H 2B 3B HR R RBI HBP BB K SB CS Miguel Cabrera 1B TUA 29.0 3b 29 0.3 0.377 0.638 0.633 715 660 220 40 1 53 124 168 5 44 103 3 3 Ben Zobrist 2B ANC 27.9 rf 31 0.3 0.404 0.543 0.545 730 622 191 52 7 27 141 100 3 100 107 9 4 Ian Desmond SS ARK 17.4 ss 26 0.3 0.325 0.537 0.537 608 572 167 36 4 32 97 99 5 25 152 18 9 Adrian Beltre 3B BRK 24.8 3b 33 0.3 0.365 0.572 0.574 716 664 212 30 0 46 117 119 7 42 94 1 0 Yadier Molina C ARK 27.0 c 29 0.4 0.411 0.641 0.649 624 569 207 44 0 38 104 116 4 44 67 6 1 Mike Trout CF TUA 37.9 cf 20 0.4 0.432 0.636 0.674 733 656 242 39 5 42 155 128 4 71 142 43 9 Matt Holliday OF DBL 24.5 lf 32 0.3 0.397 0.544 0.539 702 618 196 34 2 34 117 96 7 76 121 5 4 Giancarlo Stanton OF BOS 22.8 rf 22 0.3 0.374 0.642 0.642 577 530 172 38 2 42 95 116 2 42 152 6 3 Name POS Team P Age VAL ERA OPS W L S G GS CG SHO INN H R ER BB K HR GDP Clayton Kershaw SP HKC sp 24 30.7 2.50 0.582 16 6 0 37 37 2 2 248.1 196.0 81 69 67 261 14 12 Chris Sale SP ARK sp 23 30.3 2.57 0.637 22 3 0 33 33 0 0 213.2 183.0 64 61 45 210 23 18 Hiroki Kuroda SP ANC sp 37 29.9 2.49 0.619 19 4 0 33 33 2 2 223.2 200.0 70 62 38 187 14 24 Justin Verlander SP GEO sp 29 29.5 2.63 0.589 17 9 0 33 33 6 3 242.2 183.0 78 71 71 264 19 13 Mark Buehrle SP ANC sp 33 27.6 2.88 0.617 20 5 0 32 32 5 4 225 197.0 78 72 45 138 16 19 Fernando Rodney RP MBM cl 35 38.7 0.96 0.451 7 0 39 63 0 0 0 74.2 50.0 8 8 17 80 1 6 Rafael Soriano RP ALB cl 32 35.6 1.32 0.438 8 2 38 69 0 0 0 75 38.0 12 11 21 82 2 8 David Hernandez RP ALP mr 27 31.2 1.01 0.447 2 2 20 58 0 0 0 80 44.0 11 9 25 100 3 4 Grant Balfour RP ELK cl 34 27.5 1.25 0.458 4 1 27 55 0 0 0 64.2 29.0 9 9 29 63 4 0 Scott Atchison RP CRB mr 36 26.4 1.43 0.487 4 3 30 59 0 0 0 63 50.0 10 10 5 50 1 6 NOTES: Mike Trout was the highest rated hitter this year.
