Hey Jeff,

Thanks for the kind words, and I’d definitely love to take a look at your data. If you have it posted somewhere you can just link it, or you can email me at steve.sommer05 @ gmail . com. Going back and rereading the stuff you wrote on aging is high on my to do list… just have to find some time.

Good work. Let me know if you need help with the UZR/150 aging numbers. I can supply you with the data I used to determine it.

As of right now I’m not. I put players in the bins just based on their 2009 FSR. However, I like the idea of some past info coming in there, but I think I’ll wait until I transition over to the actual scores vice ordinal rank. I also think I’d start with something that is slightly more skewed towards the present on the scouting side (7-3-1 maybe).

Steve,

Great stuff, that’s really interesting. Are you 5/4/3-ing the FSR data as well to determine the bins?
