James: Yanks lacking in young talent
Posted by: Ben K. in Analysis
In advance of the release of The Bill James Handbook 2009, the venerable
baseball analysts has released his list of the top young talent in baseball.
James has also put forward a ranking of the Major League clubs by top young
Major League talent, and the Yankees aren’t looking so hot with the team
ranked 29 out of 30.
According to ACTA Sports, publishers of the Handbook, these rankings include
players 30 and younger:
"To achieve his inventory, James first eliminates from the list all players
who were 30 years old or older in 2008. He employs two widely used statistics
—'Runs Created' for position players and 'Runs Allowed' for pitchers—as
the basis for comparison. He makes several adjustments, including for
injuries suffered during the year and the differences in predictability
between pitchers and position players, and then takes into account the number
of years the player should be at his peak performance."
Of course, it doesn’t take a baseball genius to recognize the Yankees’
young-gun problems. Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano turned in disappointing
2008 campaigns; Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy didn’t meet the lofty
expectations placed upon them; and even Joba Chamberlain suffered a lengthy
stay on the disabled list.
As the Yankees head into free agency, this list should be a part of their
considerations. Five of the top 15 and three of the top ten youngest teams
made the playoffs this year, and if the Yanks don’t get marked older, they’
ll suffer through some pretty bad seasons over the next few years.
The full franchise rankings and James’ top 25 young players are after the
jump.
