Bunt Singles: Sizemore's ankle update, Juan Pierre and 2010 projections
Detroit Tigers blog —
... of fun stuff to gorge yourself on in there, so enjoy.
Historically speaking, ZiPs is a pretty good projecting system, although it wasn't real great in 2009.
And finally, the World Series opens tonight, whether depending. The starting pitchers are Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia. Fans of the AL Central may know those names pretty well ... because they were both Cleveland Indians at the start of 2008.
An Indians fan, however, is not happy. (Via Baseball Musings)

... offense.”
Michael Lichtman at FanGraphs has a really long take on sacrifice bunts, particularly the ones the Yanks tried in the 8th inning the other day, only to have the Angels botch some routine plays.

... making Park his 7th inning man in game 1 (he promptly blew game 2), throwing Pedro (who didn't win), using Happ as a short man not a long man (because he's one of their best pitchers and using him as a strictly a long man would have been dumb), keeping Lidge as closer (because he had no other options really), and not removing Jimmy Rollins from the leadoff spot (he's been their leadoff hitter for 5+ years now). Yep, that Charlie Manuel, a big thinker. ~Ya Cleveland fans are a bit depressed. ~The Phillies could theoretically go Lee -> Pedro -> Hamels -> Lee -> ...
