tailieunhanh - EVALUATING BASEBALL’S MANAGERS

The purpose of this book is to use sabermetric methods to appraise the overall performance and particular tendencies of baseball’s field generals—its managers. Although this is not the first sabermetric study of managers to be done, it is a bit different from much of what has come before it. Most other attempts to quantify managerial performances focused on the ingame decisions made. Individuals much smarter than myself have looked at very specific decisions managers make—such as sacrifice bunting, issuing intentional walks, attempting to steal, etc. These studies normally focus on how managers manage the game, but the people skills and basic management portions of the jobs are generally. | valiưứinạ jCL ữbjalÍÂ Tĩlanaạím A HISTORY and ANALYSIS of PERFORMANCE in the MAJOR LEAGUES 1876-2008 Evaluating Baseball s Managers This page intentionally left .
