If you missed Michael Pineda‘s start tonight, he slightly improved his fastball. Jack Curry has him topping out at 94 on the YES gun, but he had many more 93′s mixed in there. Prepare for all velocity talk tomorrow. Two big bullpen workouts today, one from Freddy Garcia, who [...]
1. It’s still early, but I think now is the time you start to get a little concerned if you’re team is really tanking. Buster Olney today has a piece about the Mariners possibly being early sellers and of course speculates on if Felix Hernandez could be traded. A trade for Felix would [...]
Giving the Moose another chance
By Larry Koestler On February 14, 2011 · 11 Comments · In Former Players, Game Recaps, Series Previews, Statistical Analysis
I have a confession to make. During his eight-year tenure with the New York Yankees, for no apparent reason I never really warmed up to Mike Mussina. It’s not that I outwardly disliked Moose, but at no point in my Yankee fandom do I ever recall absolutely and [...]
Nary a day goes by in the baseball world does a day pass without two people discussing which of their favorite players was better than the other. Our daily baseball ritual includes this process, especially now during the Hot Stove season. We start with a gut reaction, a quick thought that we post on a [...]
Whatever decision Andy Pettitte ends up making, things will get mushy around here when he makes it. If he retires, anticipate a lot of gushing posts about the big lefty and his great career. Should he come back for another season, expect just [...]
While its fun to speculate, the reality of the Yankees hot stove situation is that Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera will be jerks about this, but they’re not going anywhere, and it is unlikely that Cliff Lee lands anywhere [...]
A few interesting historical and statistical bits of data came to my attention lately, and I thought I would share them:
1) In Steve’s posts on Derek Jeter a few days ago, he compared Jeter to Mickey Mantle, and noted that Mantle’s decline greatly hurt the club in 1965-1968. In an ensuing discussion that took [...]
This one should be fairly simple, right? As with my Blyleven post , I’m sure I’ll be preaching to the choir, but Mike Mussina should be in the Hall of Fame when his time comes. But, of course, there will be doubters out there. So, I will preemptively make the case for the [...]
On Sunday I ran a post praising CC Sabathia because, you know, he’s awesome. The post required me to research Yankee pitching staffs of prior seasons. I was looking for the last season a Yankee pitcher was as dominant as CC was in 2009. I didn’t have to go all that far back. [...]
Yesterday, I examined the Hall of Fame case for Mike Mussina by comparing him to Tom Glavine. Today, I’m going to further that argument using the CHONE WAR system.
Both players rank in the top 30. Mussina ranks 24th and Glavine ranks 29th. What I did to further compare them was order [...]
