The Barry Bonds Conundrum
Since we still have several hours before the Cubs take on the Rockies in Denver tonight, I thought I'd stir up a hornet's nest stimulate some conversation this morning by writing about Barry Bonds. Let me first make it clear what this post is not about. It's not about whether Bonds should or...
Using Win Shares to Guesstimate WAR
Since Rally has released his historic WAR values for the Retrosheet period (pitcher data from 1953 to current and hitter data from1955 to current) there has been many comparisons of players. The comparisons have been limited to only players that started their career after 1953/1955 due to...
Giants/Cardinals Series Preview
There's a certain kind of symmetry in the Braves leaving and the Cardinals arriving. For years -- decades, even -- it was the Braves who stayed competitive, no matter what freaky roster changes they needed to make. My favorite Braves move was Brian McCann's call up. Oh, we'll just take this...
Baseball dying? A-Rod the killer? I don't think so

While the hope is that he'll be able to recover within the month, the team should start considering their options to replace his production...
Should the Yanks sign Barry Bonds?
Our friends at RAB raises the question. With the offensive woes now stretching 40 games into the season, it was just a matter of time before someone said the "B" word. In my opinion, he's not worth the hassle and enormous distraction, but I'd be interested to hear your take on the...
Buying Bonds and Getting Hurt
So I'm sitting here watching the Red Sox and Rangers and listening to Ken Macha do the color for the broadcast because Jerry Remy, the Sox usual color guy, is out ill. Let me just tell you, Ken Macha is one uninteresting guy. Holy mackerel. Any way, Scott Ostler of the Chronicle published a...
