Texas Rangers among teams scouting habits of umpires - ESPN Dallas
may 2010 by sogrady
"There's so much more data on umpires and it's much easier to track their balls-strikes calling. Guys have more specific reputations because the data is better," Oakland director of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said.

MLB -- Buster Olney: There are still 266 free agents on the market. See whom your team will sign. - ESPN
december 2009 by sogrady
"The next nine weeks will be an ugly time for a lot of fringe players, who will wait for the phone to ring with word of job offers. For a lot of older players who have had long and productive careers, the phone probably won't ring. This is not a time when teams are willing to throw a token $1 million offer, or even $700,000, at a guy just because he has put in a decade of good service. Within the front offices of almost all teams, hard decisions are being made based on hard data in a way that we have never seen before." - data driven decision making in action

"Sabermetric analysis is used not just by a wide swath of baseball fans and chroniclers, but also in baseball front offices. It's relied heavily upon by, among others, the Boston Red Sox, who have been one of the most successful franchises in baseball this century, winning two of the last five World Series, and by the Rays, who beat the Sox on the way to the Series last year.

Taking control -- The Hardball Times
december 2008 by sogrady
"To close out, let's try to answer our questions about the dartboard of the opening paragraph. Based on the PITCHf/x results it appears that a fastball thrown at a dartboard placed over home plate will hit the bulls-eye with some part of the ball a little less than 1.5 percent of the time. Fully 46 percent of these pitches would miss the dartboard completely. Just think of that when they tell you about somebody's pinpoint control."

Baseball vs. the Stock Market
october 2008 by sogrady
"It was a really great lesson for me in the power of sports in America. Sports is something that seems to transcend everything else. World events can seem to slow it down but they can never stop it. A lot of us will remember the first game in Yankee Stadium after 9/11 as one of those moments. I’m not really sure what the point of this post of this is, other than this: don’t worry…it will get better. Find something that takes your mind away from the markets or the economy or what ever else gives you heartburn and indulge yourself in it."

The genius of Manny Ramirez (cont.) - Joe Posnanski - SI.com
september 2008 by sogrady
"Bill James, a baseball writer (and Boston Red Sox advisor) who has spent much of his life knocking down baseball myths, believes that Manny Ramirez is such a good hitter, he will purposely get into full-counts when there is a runner on first base. The reason? With a full-count, that runner will be running on the pitch and, as such, will become an RBI when Ramirez hits a double into the gap. 'I've seen it too many times to doubt it,' Bill says." - and this is tragedy of the trade, that surrendering this became both a good idea and a necessity
