I'm a saber geek - I know that on base percentage (OBP), slugging percentage (SLG), and OPS (on base plus slugging) are better indicators of a quality baseball player than batting average (AVG). However, my Neanderthal friends remain unconvinced. Does anyone have a link to a concise article or argument?

I got in on liking baseball at the begining of the year. but when I picked A-Rod and the NYY I didn't know that people would think of me as a brainless idiot just because I like NYY and love baseball. So tell me, WHY DO YOU HATE THE YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone, ANY one, think that the players give their 100% or that they actually care about a regular season game when they know they have, a 161! more games to go...? Is this cheating the fans or what?!

Do they give up Gwynn Jr.? And do you go for a star or more pitching?

I think MLB hasn't ready to put the major team outside the America this decade. This organization will prepare to extension more teams in the league. Currently they has 30 teams. Its might be in 2020's or 2030's.

Now more people in Alaska watch the Midnight Sun Game which hosted for more than 100 years there.

I know everyone loves win - loss record. Basically in todays media driven world a 17 game winner is automatically better than a 14 game winner. But the amount of wins or losses you have basically mean nothing. In theory you could win 20+ games with an ERA over 5.00 if your offense gives you 6 runs. Vice versa you could win 10 games with an ERA around 3.00 if your offense backing you up is weak.

ERA itself doesnt prove the best pitchers, because you could have a good ERA but if you have a high WHIP I would say you arent better than someone with a higher ERA but a lower WHIP than you.

Strikeouts are a sexy stat because they get you in the news but they dont tell the whole story either. If you strikeout 250 batters but your ERA is 4.00 I wouldnt say you are a better pitcher than someone that struck out 100 with a 3.00 ERA.

Overall, I would say the most important are 1) ERA and 2) WHIP.

Any thoughts?

What are the restrictions of the MLB in drafting players from Japan, aside from the sheer logistics?

The way he is swinging the bat this year and he as remained injury free, he will probably get to six hundred this year or the beginning of next. How life is left in him?

I would love to hear some good stories of the greatest thing you have ever seen at a baseball game you attended. Feel free to add more than one moment.

For me, I remember a particular game in the old Astrodome when Bagwell went yard 3 times in one game. I just remember saying to myself how badly I wanted to do that someday. My favorite game overall was Game 3 of the 2005 NLCS with the Astros vs Cardinals. I spent a lot of money to get the tickets and it was completely worth it. My wife and I had an amazing time. Clemens was pitching and was just on his game. The atmosphere was incredible and the game was a battle to the very end.

Alex Rodriguez = $27 mil / yr
Jason Giambi = $21 mil / yr
Derek Jeter = $20 mil / yr
Manny Ramirez = $18 mil / yr
Todd Helton = $16.6 mil / yr

to round off the top 5.

All below salaries are based on what they get for the 2007 season.

Daisuke Matsuzaka so far this year:
8-5 with a 4.18 ERA, $6,333,333

Just picture this from guys right above and below him in ERA:
Chuck James (my boy) is 6-6 with a 4.11 ERA, $397,500
Tim Wakefield (your boy) is 7-7 with a 4.18 ERA $4,000,000

Okay now let's pit him against the best pitcher in baseball Jake Peavy (it's my opinion) - I would pick Smoltz but I must remain unbiased:
Peavy is 9-1 with a 1.98 ERA and a $4,750,000 price tag

If you want an AL comparison then let's take Dan Haren:
9-2 with a 1.78 ERA and a salary of 2,250,000

Just add on the rights to talk to that guy and my goodness, the per season salary he really costs is astounding for what you are getting in performance. I was expecting more of a 1995 Hideo Nomo and it's more like 1998 Hideki Irabu. Gosh it makes the Yankees deal for him look great in comparison. WHOA!!!

Granted, I know that it is still kind of early in the season for any series to be "huge". But, at the same time, I believe it will play a part in the race for 1st place. Both teams are tied for 1st. Cleveland is playing a team that even the whiney sux could beat, while Detroit is playing a team that is hard to beat.
I think Cleveland will sweep and Detroit could possibly take 2 of 3....putting The Tigers 1 game out. And with Cleveland coming to Comerica Park during the 4th of July week...it will be interesting--and THAT SERIES will be huge! Your thoughts? Indians fans are welcome--as I would love to hear what you think and say.
