12/10 Link Dump

Excuse for shiny new front page post. Will add more as more are found. Also, I always say I'll put links dumped in the comments on the front page post, but I often neglect to do so. So there's that.
- BBWAA finds out internet exists! - They finally added some writers that use the interwebs as an outlet. They are Will Carroll, Christina Kahrl, Rob Neyer and Keith Law. After ten (?) years of doing this, BP has finally acquired enough cred to get into the club. So I guess Cheat can expect his invite in 2015.
- Tango takes on all comers - Fangraphs has gone plaid since the end of the season and is by far the best aggregation of the best baseball stats anywhere publicly available. But that also means explaining some of this stuff to the unwashed masses. Tango obliges in a Q/A post and he's encouraging commenters to come to him with their questions. If there's any guy out there doing better non-proprietory work out there, I'm not aware of it. Plus he's usually very good at clarifying his numerical gymnastics. Go forth and acquire knowledge.
- Tango on Positional Adjustments - This is actually also in the fangraphs comments, but the position adjustment is pretty new and I do a bad job of explaining their necessity.
- Fangraphs on Kerry Wood - Mostly reiterates the quick and dirty comments I made yesterday. His conclusion is probably overblown, but the general idea that closers aren't the best way to spend money seems spot on to me. Though they aren't as bad as JC Bradbury would make it seem. He neglects the role of leverage in amplifying a top reliever's win contributions, which is a pretty critical gaffe. K-Rod isn't responsible for the Mets failing to maximize his utility.
- Yaz vs. Manny (Offense) - John Walsh starts off on a two part mission of discovery. The end game: who was the 2nd best Red Sox left fielder of all time. (h/t: wiz)

White Sox plans depend on Dye trade
LAS VEGAS — The White Sox still want to add a starting pitcher this winter, but what kind of pitcher they can get depends on whether they’re able to trade outfielder Jermaine Dye.
The Sox have been trying to move Dye, who will make $11.5 million next year and will be eligible for free agency after that. But a source said this morning that it’s highly unlikely that any Dye deal can be completed at the winter meetings.
Ideally, Dye would net the White Sox a pitcher they could put in their rotation. But even if that doesn’t happen, the Sox could use some of the money they would save on Dye, and also the money they saved by trading Nick Swisher and Javier Vazquez, and allowing Orlando Cabrera to leave via free agency, to bid on a free-agent starter.
The source said the White Sox have no active free-agent talks, as they wait to see whether they can move Dye.

My apologies for a redundant post (at least from me)
but I think the most likely the Sox’s next move comes after Tex signs…..then we’ll see who may need a 1B…..hopefully it’s the Nationals.

The big mountain on the left is Three Fingers.
The one on the right, under the moon, is Mt. Pilchuck.
Pretty sure the lil snow-capped peak between the two of them is Glacier Peak.

Just to reiterate what I stated before re: Wood,
I find it amusing that they just take Marcel’s FIP and add .15 to it. “Let’s call him a 3.65 FIP pitcher” . . . the next line should read . . . ‘so the numbers support the point I am trying to make’. You could just as easily assert that Wood’s 2008 season . . . his first full, healthy season as a reliever would be a more appropriate measure for a FIP. You could see his 2.32 FIP from 2008 increase to 2.75 and he would be worth the $14M that is being reported on the high end (@ 60 IP).
Given his ‘stuff’, I think a sub 3 FIP is not an outrageous assumption as many of the top closers in the game regularly sport FIPs under 3.

Relying on Marcel as a projection
is cherry-picking when traditionally of all the forecasting ‘systems’, isn’t that the least accurate? I thought Marcel’s number were based on 3 years data . . . which makes little sense with Wood. So, how about from a common sense perspective, I think this article is lacking?

In this case I don't consider Marcel to be greater
than what one’s own mind can deduct. Again, it doesn’t even make sense in this context, but offered support for his argument, so why think ‘outside the box’?

why would you neglect relevant information? Marcel is a good baseline.

I am not saying that Marcel, in general,
will not provide a baseline in many instances . . . however, in some instances it is completely useless. Go ahead and use Tim Hudson’s ‘baseline’ . . . you use that one and I’ll give you mine and lets see who is closer? Sometimes a little common sense goes farther than just blindly using these projections.

Well, from a numbers perspective,
he was last year and from a scouting/stuff perspective, there is no reason to think this year was a fluke. THE question with Wood is always health . . . are you going to get those 60 IP.

Three old ladies were sitting on a bench outside a nursing home. About then an old man walked by, and one of the old ladies said, “We bet we can tell how old you are.”
The old man said, “There ain’t no way you can guess it.”
One of the old ladies said, “Sure we can. Drop your pants!” He did. The three ladies looked at him for a few moments and then the other lady said, “Take off your underwear.”
The guy dropped his underwear and the old ladies stared at him for a while longer and then they all piped up and said, “You’re 84 years old!”
The old man was stunned. “Amazing. How did you guess that?” The old ladies laughed, “You told us yesterday.”

A. What is the point?
B. I never once said Jerry Owens would bat .353 and be on base .432
C. Never asked for Owens to be extended. Especially not for what you posted. (no incentives? huh?)
D. How is this relevant in any way?
E. No mention of JD not being traded.

I find this strangely hysterical (from Gonzo Trib)
LAS VEGAS – White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen hasn’t lost his popularity since playing for the Las Vegas Stars in 1984.
Guillen was frequently stopped while walking around the Bellagio by several baseball officials, personalities and fans.
Among the well-wishers was comedian Jeff Ross. But Guillen said he received a firm hug last night from former Sox manager Terry Bevington, who is seeking a job.
(I bet he hasn’t worked since 1998.)

Not sure how many wins
but we are somewhere between 1-2 right now. Twins are going to have a really good staff next year. Indians improved a little bit adding Woody. I think we have the pieces in place and with a couple of moves we should easily be able to take the division again next year. Assuming KW doesn’t have a fire sale.

Dye deal real and not dead yet
By Hal McCoy | Wednesday, December 10, 2008, 02:07 PM
Dye-Bailey remains alive. Maybe on a respirator, but it is alive. Maybe it won’t happen – depending on what the White Sox are willing to eat of Dye’s $11.5 million contract and that prospects the Reds are willing to send to Chicago.
also
Still wanted: Righty who can hit
A deal for Dye could still be in the mix as Reds ponder whether to trade or seek out player on free-agent market.

OH NO THEY DID NOT
According to Mike DiGiovanna of the L.A. Times, the Cubs inquired on Chone Figgins. Figgins could theoretically fill Mark DeRosa’s superutility role, though DeRosa seems likely to stay put. DiGiovanna says the Angels won’t be sure of their needs until they sort out the Mark Teixeira and Brian Fuentes situations.

Your Team Should Choose James Skelton in the Rule 5 Draft
James Skelton’s career minor league stats look like this:
276 G 867 AB
253 H 45 2B 5 3B 13 HR
181 BB 179 K
.292/.416/.400/.816
This is a good line out of any catching prospect— not a whole lot of power, but walking more than you strike out is a great indicator of success because it indicates a knowledge of the strike zone coupled with a strong ability to make contact with pitches when necessary. And there’s some hints here that he might develop into a 10 HR guy— a solid number of doubles and triples relative to home runs.
Still, it’s not fabulous. What is (relatively— we are talking about Rule 5 draftees here) fabulous is his age. Skelton just turned 23 about a month ago, and he’s reached AA ball. One of the key predictors of how well a prospect will do is how old he was relative to the average player in the leagues where he was playing— and for most of Skelton’s career, he’s been younger than usual. He’s going to be that again in MLB next year, so it’s nice to know he can hold his own (especially in terms of drawing walks and putting the ball in play) in tough environments.
http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2008/12/10/689116/your-team-should-choose-ja
here are his stats http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=13587
kenny says he has no plans to pick someone in the rule 5 draft
With no plans to select a player in Thursday’s Rule 5 Draft, at least as of Wednesday evening, Williams will depart for home Thursday with his words from Monday’s first interview session trailing behind him. On that opening day, Williams stated how he would be surprised if there were any surprises on the horizon in regard to possible deals.

If he had a solid season in AA,
he wouldn’t be available in the Rule 5 draft. The Nats took Jesus Flores a couple years ago out of High A and that has worked out pretty well.
