Following is a table. let me explain the table and how it is generated. For each position, I have used the Lineups for all the teams and chosen the player who is listed both vR and vL for each position on each team. Using the "sortable statistics" for the whole league, I have then created a spreadsheet of the results that show all the relevant ratings for each of those players. I have calculated an average "offense" for each player both vL and vR, with the following equation: .47*CON+.09*GAP+.2*POW+.24*EYE. I have then entered all the offense values for each player and the defensive values for them in another table, which shown below. I have then calculated average Offense vL and Offense vR for each team as a simple average across all positions. I have calculated the average defense vR and defense vL by taking .22*SS+.2*CF+.16*2B+.1*3B + .1*LF + .1*RF + .08*C + .04*1B as the overall defense. I have calculated the OVR for each team based on .7*(.7*OFFvR+.3*OFFvL) + .3*(.7*DEFvR+.3*DEFvL).
These equations are not specifically calculated based on BBA or UMEBA data but do represent kind of an average of other regression analyses I have done on other types of leagues. This assumes a number of things that may or may not be accurate:
1. That the spring training lineups for each team (other than mine) are the same lineups that will be used in the regular season. Since Bucharest IS accurate and other teams less so, it probably overrates Bucharest in comparison.
2. It does NOT account for subs that are not in the starting lineups (except for catcher: two catchers are considered for each team (2:1 ratio even when no platoon is set up)) , that could make a small difference to the results.
