Not-So-Lousy Lineup Optimizer, Playoff Edition: New York Yankees

Just in time for the series, I got this out. Tomorrow I'll write about the Phillies. See where Derek Jeter should hit vs. RHP. Hint: Not 1st.

Being an Analyst, Being a Fan

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.

Can you spot the five guys NOT in the Hall of Fame? It's easy, I separated 'em for ya. :) Here's the full post about guys elected to the Hall of Fame primarily for their defense. Guys like Brooks Robinson, Ozzie Smith, Bobby Wallace, John Ward, and Bid McPhee stand up as definite HOFers, with many others worthy of debate (and a couple aren't worth any debate at all). I almost made it through the whole post without comparing some HOFers to our friends Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Bobby Grich, Alan Trammell, and Ron Santo. Almost.

FILE - In this July 19, 2009 file photo, Seattle Mariners' Erik Bedard pitches against the Cleveland Indians in the second inning of a baseball game in Cleveland. Bedard is having another surgery on his throwing shoulder, all but ending his season and perhaps his time with Seattle. Manager Don Wakamatsu said Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2009, that Bedard will have exploratory surgery on Friday in Los Angeles with Dr. Lewis Yocum, who removed a cyst from Bedard's shoulder in September.
