My thoughts on Baseball. Power Rankings week of June 20th. Alright posting this a bit earlier than usual but given that the Sunday Night game is NYY vs. CHC that’s not going to change my opinion on either team at this point. No matter how it goes. So let’s get started! 1 Boston Red Sox. 3 New York Yankees. Tough series against the Cubs but they’re coming through it well. They have an amazing bullpen and are actually holding leads this year. Huge factor for why they’re doing so well. Bit of a tough call h...

Billy Beane and the Oakland A’s « The Baseball Geek
http://swiggy.mlblogs.com/2011/06/16/billy-beane-and-the-oakland-as
My thoughts on Baseball. Billy Beane and the Oakland A’s. I saw the trailer for ‘Moneyball’ today. I posted it for those interested in seeing it. I remember reading Moneyball a few years back. I read it probably a bit late but when it first came out I wasn’t really interested in the economics of baseball. I just liked going to game. My nerdom came later to baseball and has not come close to dying out yet. Still though this got me thinking, really how successful has Billy Beane been? This is Billy Beane&#...

My thoughts on Baseball. Results tagged ‘ Matt Kemp ’. The Bloating of the All-Star Game. Aside from allowing pitchers to come back in but that’s not something one things about at the moment. (By the way how funny is it that is happened in Milwaukee of all places? But hey that’s fine. But now to my point, do you REALLY need 35 players on each roster? Let’s find out. No matter what you’ll need nine position players so that’s our first number: 9. Plus a closer: 23. Hey there we go! Now I can already hear p...

Power Rankings « The Baseball Geek
http://swiggy.mlblogs.com/tag/power-rankings
My thoughts on Baseball. Results tagged ‘ Power Rankings ’. All-Star Break Power Rankings. EDIT: I incorrectly said the Dodgers hit a HR to break up the no-no. That was wrong, it was a double and then an RBI single. Post has been corrected. 2 Boston Red Sox. This next month could mean a lot. The Yankees and Rays are both very good teams and once again injuries are taking a toll on their rotation. Not a problem if you play Baltimore all of July but if things get tough they’ll need Beckett to...Great serie...
