Another Swipe at DIPS
Mitchel Lichtman takes a swipe at DIPS today, going after the meat of McCracken's argument that pitchers have no discernable control over BABIP, in the main. I haven't finished reading it, but what I've read smells possibly like a rat. Or maybe some insight McCracken hadn't come up with. Regardless, the pens of both Voros and Bill James have been silenced by their acquisition by the Boston Red Sox, for which the sabremetric community can only be saddened. I'd sure love to read what Voros would have to say about this.
Update 6/6/04: Changed the link on this one to reflect the reorganization at Baseball Think Factory. They sure don't make it easy to find.
