Guest Post: Everett vs. Tolbert
Published 30 days ago by Nick N. at Nick & Nick's Twins Blog
... many more (or less) balls a player converts into an out than the average. Players who get to balls below the average receive negative ratings. Adam Everett led all shortstops in the major leagues from 2005-2007 with a +92 rating (Jason Bartlett was second with a +45.) While I'd love to use these stats, it's not possible since Matt Tolbert's numbers aren't available. So we need to find another way of doing this. Getting back to setting up our own system... First, I'll be using The Hardball Times fielding stats. A basic fielding stats primer: ZR= Zone Rating BIZ= ...

The sell high/buy low opportunities are as rich right now as they're ever going to be. Trading is a definite skill, though, and it requires that you take the time to understand your own needs, the needs of potential trading partners, and the implications that a deal will have on the rest of your league.

"My, Mr. Piniella, You Have Such High Hair!"
Published 4/3/2008 by Cubnut at A Hundred Next Years
The Hardball Times flagged this fascinating story by Alan Schwarz in Tuesday's New York Times, a description of the work of Swarthmore College mathematician and avid Yankees fan Steve Wang. Employing an analytical method called Chernoff faces, in which data are represented by varying heights, widths, and angles in images of human faces, Wang reflects the strategic tendencies of all 30 Major League managers from the 2007 season. If I understand the explanation of Wang's analysis, the Piniella Chernoff face suggests Lou's ...
Fun with Box Scores
Published 4/1/2008 by Jason at MY BASEBALL BIAS
I saw this cool thing mentioned over at The Hardball Times - a daily, downloadable box score report called the “The Rundown” from Heater, the online baseball magazine. In addition to the MLB boxes, you get all of the other professional sports as well. It either comes free with a subscription to Heater or costs just $9.95 for the year which I think is a great deal.
Check it out if you get a chance!

Why Barry Bonds Sits in Exile
Published 2/18/2008 by Eamonn Brennan at FanHouse
Filed under: PEDs, MLB BizThe Hardball Times is getting back into full stride these days, and today is no different. THT's John Beamer brings up the name we've all sort of forgotten (except when the government doesn't use spell check) and why Msr. Barry Bonds isn't likely to get a contract this year. Some hints: It's not because he won't produce (he will; last year was the second-best age 42 season of all-time), it's not because of the indictment (plenty of time for that still), and it's not because GMs are ...

Published 2/8/2008 by Chris Needham at Capitol Punishment
Our good friends at The Hardball Times have released the conveniently named "2008 Hardball Times Season Preview." It is, as you can probably surmise, since you're the smartest blog readers this side of the Potomac, a collection of all sorts of good information about players and teams with an eye to the upcoming season. Each team, including our beloved and bedeviling Nats, has an essay with a quick overview of the comings and goings, trends, and reasons to be optimistic (and pessimistic!) about the coming season. It has projections for bazillions of players and little nuggets ...

Getting Wiser

... the Mets only owe him $750,000; and if he makes the team but otherwise stinks up the joint, the Mets won’t be stuck with him in 2009. He essentially takes Guillermo Mota’s place in the bullpen, so he wouldn’t have to do much to be an improvement, and he’ll do it for about $2 million less than Mota.
But the best endorsement for signing “Wiser,” is that the Brew Crew doesn’t like it.
