... the defense” (specifically going first to third).  Given the Angels’ reputation as a baserunning-oriented team, it’s a bit surprising to see that they are not nearly as effective on the bases as the top teams in the game (namely the Twins and Mets but also, to an extent, the Rangers).  Also interesting, Chone Figgins ranks as one of the very best base runners in the game, comparing favorably with Ichiro, Jose Reyes and Ian Kinsler (who knew?).    Further, Figgins ranks as one of the better pure ...

... BASEMAN MIKE HARGROVE The Human Rain Delay won the Rookie of the Year on the 1974 Rangers team that put a winning product on the field.

He also drove opposing pitchers nuts with his constant stepping out of the box. No doubt his manager, Billy Martin, loved him for it.

BASEBALL: Mauer for MVP
Published 11/18/2008 by Baseball Crank at Baseball Crank
As I have noted previously, this year's AL MVP race is a mess because so many of the possible candidates got hurt. Carlos Quentin went down for the season from his own foolishness at a key point in the race for a team that went all the way to a 1-game playoff. Evan Longoria, the best player on the league's best team, missed a month; Ian Kinsler missed more. Curtis Granderson played brilliantly upon his return from injury, but his team was already down for the count when he started his season. A-Rod, the defending MVP, led the league in slugging ...

... (.310, 21 HR, 95 RBIs) and second baseman Ian Kinsler (.337 BA) have garnered hopes for individual postseason awards in Arlington. But anything short of a magical run the rest of the way will ensure the Rangers, a team clearly built for gaudy offensive output, will finish the season cemented firmly in third place in the AL West. Texas ranks no higher than eighth in any pitching statistical category and lays claim to the American League’s highest team ERA. ...

... to head: Giambi looks to be the most deserving candidate here but leave it to Red Sox Nation to stuff the ballot box in favor of the good but not great Youkalis. Still, we've got one guy who was thought to be left for dead in Giambi who is out performing every other option the AL has and we've got a murderer's row of first basemen in the NL.

... that the Rangers and 2B Ian Kinsler had worked out a five-year extension. The deal guarantees Kinsler, who has two years of service time under his belt, $22 million over the five years. It also includes a team option for a sixth year at $10 million. Kinsler was set to become a free agent before the 2012 season, so the deal buys out all of his arbitration years and either one or two of his free agency years (depending on whether the option is picked up). This contract has all the same features as the ones I discussed yesterday. The best comparison is probably ...
