The minors are obviously already discounted relative to the majors but someone like yourself that looks at minor leagues relative to other minor league guys… I don’t know the A/W effect. Or the sample size effect. For that maybe find guys that hit .333 going 1 for 3 and 200 for 600 (or close enough to each other) and compare them in the same year/league. When I play for fun, it is typically minors off so I have neither anecdotal or quantitative experience to bear with regard to the minors. Maybe there is some fixed MiLB A/W internally.
OK so I've ID'd 6 guys from the 1930 PCL who all hit over .350. The AB's for each guy are 2, 12, 124, 239, 310, and 721.

I'm going to do 1-year recalc and I'm thinking of these combinations of Adj/Wkn for each test:

300/150
200/100
120/20
100/0
0/0

And then I'll see how ratings compare. I would think would give insight on if/how Adj/Wkn settings apply to minor leagues...

Anyone have any suggestions on how I might tweak this testing?

Thanks in advance.
