Thursday, December 30, 2004Bert and RichRich Lederer has made it a personal crusade to get Bert Blyleven voted into the Hall of Fame. It's a worthy crusade, and Rich has invested a lot of personal energy to give the man the credit he deserves. Rich has been rewarded for his obsession with a fine interview with Blyleven, including a great anecdote about the time Rich was fooled by Blyleven's curve. Check it out. Wednesday, December 29, 2004Another Kind of ReliefThe death toll from the Indian Ocean Earthquake and tsunami continues to rise and may very well reach over 80,000 lives. Obviously, this is a terrible tragedy that overshadows anything we might say about baseball. If you can afford it, please consider donating financial relief to these devastated areas. Here is a list of relief organizations you can contribute to. Friday, December 24, 2004Happy Holidays to AllWe want to wish all of our readers a very Happy Holiday season.

Wednesday, December 22, 2004Urban on the A’sThe best Oakland A's blog around, Athletics Nation, has a Q&A posted with MLB.com A's beat writer Mychael Urban. As you might expect, Urban primarily answers questions about the A's dealing Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder, and he gives some interesting insights. Urban also talks a little bit about his upcoming book on Oakland's "Big Three," which suddenly has a whole different meaning. Also, the boys over at All-Baseball.com have a nice back-and-forth discussion about Oakland's wheeling and dealing. Monday, December 20, 2004Stunned UpdateYahoo reports that the Angels have just signed shortstop Orlando Cabrera to a four-year deal worth $8 million a year. In related news, Placido Polanco apparently wasn't wanted by any major league team and accepted arbitration from the Phillies. I originally said that this must be the worst signing of the offseason, but my Fair Market Value calculator indicates that it isn't really out of line if you assume: 1. He'll create 77 runs next year (per the Bill James Handbook), and 2. He's a great defender My bottom line is that I still think this is a bad deal, but probably not the worst of the offseason. Given the salaries being thrown around, however, I'm amazed Polanco didn't get a nice deal from someone. His bat is better than Cabrera's and he's a fine defender. For no good reason that I can see, he's stuck with the "utility infielder" tag. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
