<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->So, if we assume that each player has a clubhouse contribution, with the mean centered at zero and a small standard deviation of about 0.2 wins, how much can clubhouse chemistry really affect the team's overall performance? Multiplying the SD by the square root of 25, we see that clubhouse chemistry would have a standard deviation of 1 win, meaning that the team with the worst chemistry in baseball will lose about 2 extra games because of it, while teams with the best chemistry gain about 2 extra wins.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
And if you multiply it by 47 you get 94 extra losses.
Where are these numbers coming from?
