Jeremy B. - Not sure where I’ve read it but I’m pretty sure that Marcel already weights pitchers by 3/2/1 rather than 5/4/3 like he does for hitters. I also agree with you observation that different positions (or at least catchers) should probably be weighted slightly differently. Catchers just seem to break down much more quickly. Same with large, oafish DHs/1Bs. I’m sure he won’t change it though in order to keep it as simple as possible. Maybe Zips, CHONE, etc. do consider these though. Posted 08/28 at 02:58 PM

Nice article, Jonathan,
I was thinking while reading this that different positions, particularly “Pitchers” versus “Batters”, using fantasy lingo, might have different optimal weights. Catchers might also have different optimal weights from the other “Batters”.
I don’t really have a hypothesis about what the different optimal weights would be for pitchers vs. batters, because looking at it one way, pitchers might supply around 1.25 days per week of data while hitters supply around 5 days per week of data, but looking at it another way, they both pitch/bat approximately the same number of at bats per week… except for catchers…
