Pujols and Jose Reyes' 'Speed Scores' (using Bill James' figuring)
(21 Sep 2008)
On Sun, 21 Sep 2008 07:17:51 -0500, "A" <aaaz@att.net
x-no-archive: yes
I enjoy fooling around with the new baseball sabermetric numbers, and in
learning more complex things about Excel (Microsoft-made spreadsheet) so the
two fit perfectly, such as in using Tables.
Using Bill James' precise mathematical formulas found in the back of his
annual "Bill James Handbook [2008]" ('Baseball Glossary', pp. 478-80), I
computerized his complex steps using Excel in determining Albert Pujols' and

Keeper league, standard scoring roto league. 5 player minor league system.

Putting Tex, CC, et al in Context: FA 2008-1011
(29 Oct 2008)
With all the discussion about possible free agent signings, I thought it would be useful to contextualize the discussion with a look at what other options might be available on the free agent market over the next few years. Considering whether to spend money this off-season on a Tex, CC, or Burnett naturally raises the question, "If not him, then who?" What's the long term plan?
The players listed in the table represent all the "star to elite" level players (subjective, prospective, and done sor...

baseball thoughts from the ville going down the home stretch
(25 Sep 2008)
sorta like a monday morning quarterback but just not as long. Just things I think about as this baseball season concludes.
1. The mets had someone on third in last nights game in the last 5 innings and scored 1 run. Maybe Manuel should stop trying to be a comedian during press conferences and worry about clutch hitting.
2. speaking of the mets. if they get in do you see how they could do anything during the playoffs? for that matter can the brewers do anything? either way it goes it looks like o...
