Rick Ankiel or Nate McLouth?

... account positions where advantages are disparate, like Albert Pujols versus pretty much anyone on the planet. There is some amount of bias, as I’m sure there would be on a similar Cardinals site (say this one for instance, who wouldn’t trade Yadier Molina’s glove, arm, and management of the pitching staff for Ryan Doumit’s bat) - but it’s a fair comparison. The one spot I took interest in was at center field.  Rick Ankiel versus Nate McLouth.  I disagree with the premise that the ...

... Sometimes I think we forget how special the Rick Ankiel story really is.  One of the most promising pitching prospects in all of baseball, he truly dominated the National League in his rookie year of 2000.  He did this at the tender age of 20 with a great fastball and a cartoon curveball.  His future looked as bright as anyone in the majors.  ...

... piece about Tony LaRussa, a consummate baseball wise man and the gritty, disciplined leader of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals are outperforming expectations this year. Nobody expected much of them, and everyone's surprised to see them leading the wild-card. How should we account for this? Should we account for the utterly unexpected appearance of a guy like this guy, who's OPSing .936 in his first full season? Or perhaps we might consider this guy, also in his first full major league season, OPSing .849 with seventeen homers? ...

But what were we really expecting from them in the first place? Because personally, the more I thought about it, the less ...

Ryan Braun Was 15:1 HRs: 3 Now12:1 Braun is actually off to a slow start, hitting .227 with no walks. Doesn't matter though, because a) it's 44 ABs, and b) he's on pace for 49 homers.
