| Oh, I also took a gender at what Matsui brought to the Yankees, as far as runs and Pythagorean W-L. The left fielder the year before Matsui came aboard was Rondell White. His "Runs Created" was 49. Matsui's was 96 his first year with the club (it was much higher in '04 and '05). So, they scored 48 more runs than they would have if White had played instead of Matsui.
Put that into the equation for Pyth. W-L, and Matsui's bat added 4 wins to the Yankees total. |
