EqA?

y2kornhusker · 02-26-2003, 08:47 PM

I've been wondering this for awhile. Does anyone out there have a utility that would compute EqA? The process is time consuming by hand, but rather simple when set up through any sort of programming language. I would think that a simple spreadsheet could handle it.

It's a rather simple process. In fact, if it weren't for the time-consuming process of adding up league totals for CS, HBP, Outs, and PA, (hint, hint, Markus

), it wouldn't be so bad.

I would like to suggest that park-translated stats are included in v5 or a future patch of v5. EqA isn't all that complicated, IMO, compared to some other metrics. The only complicated part about it is figuring out the park factor, which other utilities have done.

I agree, this would be fantastic, and not to hard to code into a later patch somewhere along the way.
