The response to my Cito Culver post earlier this week put an interesting question in my head. Here are the comments:
Richard Deegan: It’s about having people on the ground and getting into all corners, especially “home” (well, at least NY) turf. That’s how the Cards got The Man, while the Pirates dozed.
Legwork!!!

Prior to starting this WAR endeavor, I was initially most interested in the story that the numbers told on the topic of MLB’s third basemen in terms of value. Likewise, will always be a major point of interest for me in general. How often do you have a player who’s so completely [...]
The conventional wisdom would seem to say that after CC Sabathia starts Game 1 in the ALDS, Andy Pettitte will go in Game 2 followed by Phil Hughes in Game 3 and A.J. Burnett in Game 4.
That sounds reasonable enough, and I’m sure there are plenty of fan-managers out there who concur. However, I [...]

With the Yankees’ postseason ticket all but punched and the Red Sox missing the postseason for the first time since 2006 all but official, this weekend’s Yankees-Red Sox set represents the first time since the end of the 2008 season that a series between the two teams will be met [...]
Yesterday, I how I think Javier Vazquez, along with Ivan Nova, had a decent case for making the post season roster. After last night, I’m not too sure.
What has happened to Javier Vazquez this year–the poor results, the drop in velocity–is really quite sad. I, among others, wrote that Vazquez could [...]
Earlier this season I investigated ‘s peripherals. When I had the idea for the post I thought I would discover an obvious problem in Joba’s numbers — too many home runs for example, or too high a walk rate. Instead, I was stunned to discover that Joba has actually improved his [...]
This one doesn’t even deserve a snappy title. Staked to a 2-0 lead on a two-run bomb off in the second, clearly didn’t have his best stuff, laboring through 5 1/3 innings, his shortest outing since lasting only five on May [...]
