Here is one to start, but there are more recent ones working off Bradburry's work, etc. http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/ar...alls-and-dips/

People to make sure to read: Voros M.'s original few articles, Tippett's article linked above, MGL's article on the old BaseballPrimer ( still available, I think, on Tom Tango's website), and all the Glasko articles recently on Hardballtimes. Mike Emleigh has a number of posts at all BaseballPrimer that are must reads, and Tango's old Sabr blog is still accessible from his website (www.tangotiger.net) and contains most of the old discussions, or links to them at least.

Starting with this article that links to all previous work:

http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/ar...alls-and-dips/

If you're still interested after that there's plenty of research done in the last year and a half since that article happened that I'll be happy to dig up for you.
Thanks guys, I'm off to work for now .. but I'll check back and check these out.

Sorry to come across as poo-pooing ... but, well, as I said .. this theory goes against everything I've "believed" my whole life.
