  3. Bird Land: Cleveland, Ludwick & the Prospect Problem

    STL Today Baseball News &bull Aug 1, 2010

    DOWNTOWN -- Few potential trade partners can have as much knowledge of the St. Louis Cardinals' minor-league system than the two teams involved in Saturday's three-way deal that brought Jake Westbrook here and sent Ryan Ludwick there. Since moving into the big chair, general manager John Mozeliak has made a series of trades with the Cleveland Indians and San Diego Padres, and each of them involved a righthanded reliever of some sort. The Padres got Mark Worrell (RHP RP) and Luke Gregerson (RHP RP) in one deal; the Indians got Chris Perez (RHP RP) and Jess Todd (RHP RP) in… Full Story »

  8. Ubaldo vs. the benchmarks

    The Hardball Times &bull Jun 14, 2010

    Arguably the best pitcher in baseball right now, Ubaldo Jimenez sports a Bob Gibsonian ERA of 1.16 along with the Major League high of 12 wins. Of course his low ERA has been helped greatly by a low BABIP of .232 and the Majors highest left on base percentage (LOB%) of 91.3%. Those numbers are heading towards regression, although his BABIP might stay around lowest in the Majors due to his stuff. And his "stuff" is what going to talk about next. Hardball Times own Harry Pavlidis attempts to classify every pitch captured under MLBAM's pitch… Full Story »

  11. Expanded Horizons: Two Dogmas of Sabermetrics by Tommy Bennett

    Baseball Prospectus &bull Jun 1, 2010

    In 1951, W.V.O. Quine published his landmark paper, "Two Dogmas of Empiricism." That set of beliefs-logical positivism-sought to deny that any statement that was not empirically verifiable had any meaning whatsoever. What Quine showed was that the two eponymous beliefs, which he derisively called dogmas, were necessary to logical positivism but also false. There exists, I think, a certain set of analysts in baseball who adhere to a sort of logical positivism. That belief is demonstrated by the drive to completely separate outcomes from processes, despite the fact that such cleavage is not actually possible. For example, to eliminate the… Full Story »
