Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:37:42 +0000

Billy Butler's 2009 for the Royals was very good offensively, while Alex Gordon's 2008 was considered an overall disappointment. But which season was really more valuable overall?

After reading my post on why Zack Greinke should win the AL Cy Young Award, the baseball writers association responded by...voting Zack Greinke the 2009 AL Cy Young Award Winner. It is for this reason that I have to wholeheartedly believe that once again the writer's referred to my post on ...

Counterpoint: Who Cares?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:30:00 +0000

In the six months I've been writing here, rarely have Jay and I disagreed on any major points. We disagreed about a hypothetical recall of Austin Jackson in the wake of a potential Melky Cabrera injury, and we differ as to how the Yankees should approach Hideki Matsui this off-season. But in ...

Greinke or Lincecum in 2010?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:41:23 +0000

Who should be picked first in 2010 drafts: Zack Greinke or Tim Lincecum ? Both pitchers were ridiculously dominant in 2009, and will be fighting to take the baton from Johan Santana as the first pitcher taken. During drafts last year, Lincecum was taken in the early to mid second round, with ...

When Good Posts Go Bad: ERA+ and the CYA

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:02:32 +0000

The other night while writing about the signing of Brad Thompson I started thinking about Tim Lincecum and Zack Greinke winning the Cy Young Awards in their respective leagues. More specifically I started wondering how many times the leaders in ERA+ from both the AL and NL won the CYAs. I sat ...

Zack Greinke Is So Damn Awesome

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:15:12 +0000

Zack Greinke won the AL Cy Young award, with 25 of 28 first-place votes. It should have been unanimous, but I won't quibble with that. Instead, I'd like to bring attention to this article from the NY Times. Greinke considered that Felix Hernandez might have been awarded by the voters, but it ...

Supporting Greinke

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:58:00 +0000

On September 6th this blog proclaimed Zack Greinke as the CY Young Award winner . It was that easy. I'm pissed off though and I'll tell you why. I can't tell you how many calls the radio talk shows received here yesterday saying that CC Sabathia got snubbed. And I'm not in NY I'm in Mission, ...

I'm not really supposed to be doing any unnecessary typing, so I'm gonna make this brief (well, relatively speaking). Joe Mauer won his third first MVP this year, in nearly a landslide. You could make a case for Zack Greinke, Ben Zobrist, and yeah, probably Derek Jeter, too, but ...

Pop quiz, hot shot: There's a catcher who wins the Gold Glove, the batting title and leads the league in on base and slugging percentage. What do you call him? MVP . That is, unless you're the (presumably) Detroit-area voter who put Miguel Cabrera in front of Mauer in first place, costing ...
