SHOW WORK ON SHEET FOR PARTIAL CREDIT The traditional Pythagorean developed by Bill James used an exponent of 2 for baseball and we’ll use this exponent. In the 2024 season, the Guardians scored 708 runs and allowed 621 runs.  Let’s assume the lineup as constructed would repeat this output next year. Suppose the Guardians had their choice of 2 players: 1) Juan Soto: accounted for 58 more runs than an average player due to his batting and baserunning and ALLOWED the opponent to score 6 more runs than an average fielder would have (i.e., he increases runs scored by 58.4 and INCREASES runs allowed by 6) 2) Blake Snell: allowed 14 fewer runs than an average pitcher and has no effect on the batting as the pitcher spot doesn’t hit.   What would the Pythagorean predict as the win% for the Guardians if they replace an average player with Snell? Report your answer as a decimal to 4 places: i.e., 20.34% should be entered as .2034

Who has grounded into the most strikeouts (SO) in their career only counting years from 1900 on?

The traditional Pythagorean developed by Bill James used an exponent of 2 for baseball and we’ll use this exponent. In the 2023 season, the Reds scored 783 runs and allowed 821 runs.  Let’s assume the lineup as constructed would repeat this output next year. Suppose the Reds had their choice of 2 players: 1) Cody Bellinger: accounted for 15 more runs than an average player due to his batting and baserunning and PREVENTED opponents from scoring 7 more run than an average fielder would have (i.e., he increases runs scored by 15 and DECREASES runs allowed by 7) 2) Blake Snell: allowed 20 fewer runs than an average pitcher and has no effect on the batting as the pitcher spot doesn’t hit.   Based on your previous 2 answers, who would you sign assuming cost and position needs are equivalent?
