SUCKASS FACTOR SAMPLES
Let's give the Suckass Factor a floor run...
Major League mean batting average for 2003 was about .2642305. Here's some other players' SAFs for 2003.
John Olerud had a SAF of .325
Raul Ibanez had a SAF of .186 (not sure if I factored in the multiple fielding percentages correctly)
Barry Bonds had a SAF of .080
Todd Helton had a SAF of .047
Bret Boone had a SAF of .341
Dan Wilson had a SAF of .423
Well, for now, it worked for Dan Wilson. I need to find a way to get Bret Boone to suck less ass than John Olerud, because we all know Boone was damn good last year and Olerud was crap. For Boone, I probably need to reweight the strikeout ratios in the original stat. And for Barry Bonds to suck less ass than Helton, I'd probably need to throw in walks somehow.
