Our team page is now live for 2009, updated through yesterday's games. I like to think that our team page is the best single URL on the web for finding how each team is performing. For instance, today's update shows that...
The Rangers have scored 9.7 runs a game (with an OPS of 1.059), exactly eight more than the White Sox (1.7 runs a game).
Florida's bats have packed the most "game-worthy" punch, with a WPA of 1.06.
The White Sox's and Marlins' pitchers are averaging 10.2 strikeouts per game.
Overall, 14% of outfield flies have been home runs; the typical average is 11%.
The Tiger bullpen has been the worst in the majors so far, with a WPA of -1.18.
The vaunted Seattle outfield defense is off to a good start. Overall, the Mariner defense is seven plays above average, and their outfield has a 1.000 Revised Zone Rating and has made 11 plays out of zone.
I'll be updating the team page every morning the rest of the season.
Dave was called a "national treasure" by Rob Neyer. Seriously. Comments about this article can be sent to him through the miracle of e-mail.
