There really isn’t any new information presented in these graphs, but they might help some to see just where the wins are actually coming from. I like this pie chart because it shows — [...]

A quick post this morning on the defense from 2002-2008. Thanks to FanGraphs for making bUZR publicly available. I’ve really had a lot of fun looking through the data.

Exciting news this weekend, FanGraphs is now providing UZR data — Ultimate Zone Rating — on it’s website. UZR for those who don’t know, is one of the more heralded defensive systems out there.

I got a chance to listen to the weekly Ralph and Tom interview with Brian Sabean on KNBR this morning. Some notes and reactions after listening. ~ The topic to start the interview was, of course, Barry Zito. Sabes basically backed up Zito saying that he’s trying hard and wants to get better. Ralph tried [...]
