Hi. If you're looking for Win Shares, we've got the 2003 Win Shares listed in our 2003 Stats Page. You'll be able to find 2004 Win Shares at The Hardball Times, in the Stats section. 2005 Win Shares are in development.

So what's this site for? Well, I have posted many articles here about Win Shares and baseball graphics in the past. But for the summer of 2005, I plan to work on something called Win Probability Added, or WPA. It's similar to Win Shares, because it assigns credit for wins to specific players, but the methodology is very different. You can read more about WPA at The Hardball Times.

I've created a complex spreadsheet full of WPA logic, which you can download at ftp.baseballgraphs.com/wpa. I will be using it to track and post the WPA of all Reds's games this summer at the RedsZone Forum, as well as a weekly column at The Hardball Times. In this space, I'll write about specific, technical issues and lessons learned from my experiences. Win Share Resources

Most of the entries included here will assume that you have a working knowledge of how Win Shares works. If you'd like to better understand the Win Shares methodology, I strongly suggest you buy the book.
