The top ten position players

Posted by Dave Studeman
Here's one person's estimate of the top ten position players in baseball right now. Before you look at the list, take a crack at your own top ten.

The new Matt Garza?

Posted by Dave Studeman
Peter Bendix breaks out Matt Garza's most recent seven starts and finds evidence to back the claim that he's learned to channel his emotions and pitch better. Peter also notes that most of those starts have been at home, where Garza has a much better record in general.

This is sort of the classic question: has the player really changed or is this just normal statistical variation? Put it this way: is Garza, right now, closer to a 4.38 pitcher (his ERA in the beginning of the year) or a 2.79 pitcher (his last seven starts)? The halfway point is 3.59. His Q&D Marcel pegs him at 3.90. What do you think?

Going for the record

Posted by Dave Studeman
Dave Cameron has a few notes on K-Rod's record-setting save pace, including the fact that he isn't racking up many cheap saves. His Leverage Index is over 2.5, which means he's being put in a lot of tough situations. But, as noted in the comments, his pitching basics (strikeouts and walks) are down quite a bit.
