I had promised a few readers an article on the PECOTA projections this morning, but will push that until next week because SG over at RLYW has suggested that their math is a bit off, and Colin Wyers has responded that they are looking into it. I will wait until there is more news on [...]
We can all argue the merits plus/minus for the top 11, but the deeper you go on the list the more you wonder what some of these guys are smoking. Here’s the list:
Don Mattingly — 87 – 16.1%
Dave Parker – 82 – 15.2%
Dale Murphy — 63 – [...]
From Ken Rosenthal:
A rival executive says that neither Phil Hughes nor Joba Chamberlain should be in the Yankees’ rotation next season.
Instead, the exec suggests that the Yankees keep both youngsters in their bullpen and make Chad Gaudin their fifth starter.
Not a crazy thought. But if the Yankees enact such a plan, [...]
Yes, seriously, Mike Silva asked that question:
If you compare both players in their first full season of just starting it looks like this:
Ponson: 4.71 ERA, 1.5 WHIP, 99 ERA+, and FIP of 5.39
Chamberlain: 4.75 ERA, 1.5 WHIP, 90 ERA+, and FIP of 4.82
To be fair Ponson never [...]
Joe Girardi may be the first manager to guide his team to 103 wins and the World Series to spend the entire time prior to the Series getting skewered by the press. First it was Jon Heyman:
Girardi apparently already has a dreary book of overwrought stats in the dugout, and he’s gone to [...]
I was listening to Buck Showalter on the Michael Kay Show the other day and, much as I love Buck from his tenure as Yankee manager, he said something that didn’t seem right to me. Upon being pressed by Kay for a prediction, he wound up reluctantly picking the Angels in 7 games. This [...]
Now that the Red Sox have been eliminated, I thought it would be fun to run through some of the awful articles written about them over the 2009 season. Just to show that we here at TYU like to be fair, I will run through our own predictions once the 2009 season has been completed. [...]
IIATMS quoted this slightly dated article from George King that is slightly disgusting and paints a false picture of Joba Chamberlain’s history:
Another talent evaluator believes Chamberlain’s persona changed for the worse when he was converted from reliever to starter and it still affects his mechanics.
“He is a grunt-and-fart guy, he’s Joba,” [...]
Remember all the hue and cry in April and May about how the new Yankee Stadium is a bandbox? How the new place has some enormous jet stream that is carrying balls hit off the end of a bat over the fences? The park factor was up to 105 (same as Fenway, which plays ‘fair’ [...]
This is from Golenbock’s Facebook page, which may explain all the horrific spelling errors. He does not actually have an MVP vote, but is representative of a large segment of the voting population. It is quite possibly the most perplexing ballot in the history of ballots. There is no unifying theory, and most importantly, no [...]
