Joe Maddon Contract Extension
Posted in American League, Manager, Rays, Sabermetrics on May 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We already considered Joe Maddon as a new age, forward thinking, manager based on embracing of the sabertmetrics.

MLB Network Does Not Get Pecota
Posted in American League, National League, Sabermetrics on February 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Before my eyes as I turned on the television, the MLB Network this morning was covering Baseball Prospectus – Pecota projections. Talk about a grass roots movement making it into the mainstream media. But, Haryold Reynolds and Barry Larkin had to ruin my breakfast when they started dismissing the sabermetrics .
