However, before Cubs fans start salivating at the ...

Since Paul Sullivan, basking in the glow of having driven Milton Bradley out of town, can’t be bothered to do his fucking job and report on the Cubs, we’ve had to depend mainly on the excellent MLBTR for Cubs news. And today’s news is that Homerun Heilman is a goner :

That’s what Milton Bradley hit from April 28 and September 4, but the media and fans don’t want you to hear that. I knew Bradley was basically what the Cubs signed in the middle 4 months, but I didn’t even realize it was that good until I went to Bradley’s page on ...

Some of you may have read the piece I posted at BCB early this morning. I’m not really writing to tell you about it—most of it you’re already aware of. What shocked me is this: after looking at the projected numbers, I think it makes sense not to bring back Harden for 2010. I ...

I’m off to bed soon so I’m going to wait to explain this until tomorrow. I just wanted to put this up. Bill James came up with a method to predict whether or not a player who had 400 or more PA’s in a season would be at least as good the following season. ...

So GTOD Runner-up Dayn Perry came up with 10 Offseason Moves That Need to Happen . For the moment, let’s ignore the comically misspelled name and the handwringing tone of the title, and cast our eyes on number 8 in Dayn’s little list:

You’ve all seen the recent pictures of Sammy Sosa and have undoubtedly read something about some skin cream that he’s been using. I thought Sosa looked ill when I first saw the images and was just glad to hear that was not the issue. I couldn’t care less what Sammy ...

We were discussing Soto’s shitty, shitty 2009 luck in the last thread. In a previous post, MB pointed out that Soto’s batting average on balls in play (BABIP) and its expected value (xBABIP), based on his hit-type distributions were a whopping 63 points apart in 2009. What could we ...

has become abundantly clear, namely that Paul Sullivan is
a fucking petty, vindictive little jackass Jim Hendry really, really covets Curtis Granderson, and Sullivan is so busy taking banal cheap shots at Mark ...

Here at ACB, we’ve spent some time cataloging the journalistic foibles of one Paul Sullivan. Most notably, there was this baldfaced admission of his inability to do his job:
“That’s the whole thing of our jobs. We’re human and people that treat us nicer probably get better ...

I already did the Yankees hitters and without the time spent formatting, here are the BIS projections (James doesn’t believe in projecting pitchers) for the Yankees in 2010. I’ve assumed they re-sign Pettitte and I have Hughes as a starter. He was projected to start 12 ...

Well, I got busy. And then it took me a while to put this p.o.s. together. The good news is I’ve got the pitch F/X database now, and it should be easier for me to do analysis going forward. Anyways, it’s done now. I hope you enjoy it.
