Hot Stove Analysis: Kerry Wood

These are my thoughts on the Kerry Wood signing. Overall, I dislike it from a sabermetric standpoint, and I really hate it once you factor in his poor pitching mechanics. I would be very surprised if he stays healthy for two years, much less pitches at a level that supports his salary.

Being an Analyst, Being a Fan

by devil_fingers 3 months ago 0 comments | 0 recs

Lately it seems like I've heard more NL fans complaining about the allegedly "unfounded" assertions of the AL's superiority. So I decided to look about at the last few seasons W-L records in interleague and also use PythagenPat to check it out. I'm sure someone has done this before, but I couldn't find it anywhere after a grueling 10 minutes of Google searches. Here's what I say. This isn't a complete reflection, but I did find the run differential info for 2005-2009. If anyone knows the obvious spot that I'm ignoring for this stuff, please buzz over to Driveline and let me know.
