1. It’s still early, but I think now is the time you start to get a little concerned if you’re team is really tanking. Buster Olney today has a piece about the Mariners possibly being early sellers and of course speculates on if could be traded. A trade for Felix would [...]
Giving the Moose another chance
By Larry Koestler On February 14, 2011 · 11 Comments · In Former Players, Game Recaps, Series Previews, Statistical Analysis
I have a confession to make. During his eight-year tenure with the New York Yankees, for no apparent reason I never really warmed up to . It’s not that I outwardly disliked Moose, but at no point in my Yankee fandom do I ever recall absolutely and [...]
Nary a day goes by in the baseball world does a day pass without two people discussing which of their favorite players was better than the other. Our daily baseball ritual includes this process, especially now during the Hot Stove season. We start with a gut reaction, a quick thought that we post on a [...]
Whatever decision ends up making, things will get mushy around here when he makes it. If he retires, anticipate a lot of gushing posts about the big lefty and his great career. Should he come back for another season, expect just [...]

1) In Steve’s posts on Derek Jeter a few days ago, he compared Jeter to Mickey Mantle, and noted that Mantle’s decline greatly hurt the club in 1965-1968. In an ensuing discussion that took [...]

On Sunday I ran a post praising CC Sabathia because, you know, he’s awesome. The post required me to research Yankee pitching staffs of prior seasons. I was looking for the last season a Yankee pitcher was as dominant as CC was in 2009. I didn’t have to go all that far back. [...]
Yesterday, I examined the Hall of Fame case for Mike Mussina by . Today, I’m going to further that argument using the CHONE WAR system.
Both players rank in the top 30. Mussina ranks 24th and Glavine ranks 29th. What I did to further compare them was order [...]
-Yanks are rolling, back in 1st place and life is good. When you can call up Sergio Mitre and get a solid performance in which he gives up 2 earned runs and gets you to the 6th inning, you know you’re hot. And yes, I know he was charged with 3 ER, but Johnny Damon [...]
