How much can one player add to a team? I read the other day at the website of baseball stats legend Bill James that Albert Pujols’s value to the Cardinals is that the… “Cardinals start out six-eight games over .500 because of Pujols. Everybody else has to make it up somehow. “ James now [...] Some of you may have already noticed the new tag in the right sidebar. Redleg Nation is very pleased to announce that we’ve entered into a partnership (of sorts) with the Cincinnati Enquirer. The quick and dirty version is that the Enquirer will feature RN at their Reds page, giving them more Reds-related content, and [...] Five years ago today, we started up this dumb little blog. Five years. That’s difficult for me to comprehend. Our goal was to make this a place where we could talk Reds baseball with other passionate fans. That’s it; nothing more or nothing less. If we have achieved nothing more, I feel like we’ve reached that [...] I wish Reds bloggers had problems like this. But, then again, what’s the fun in that? Redleg Nation sponsors a few pages over at Baseball-Reference.com, but none are as funny as these. Good stuff. Redleg Nation offers up a hearty welcome to the newest addition to the Reds blogosphere: Better Off Red. It’s written by Jamie Ramsey, assistant director of media relations for the Reds. Looks to be interesting, and one can only hope we’ll get an insider’s glimpse at All Things Rob Butcher. Welcome, Jamie! I’m screwing around with a few things tonight, making some changes to how you can comment and how those comments show up. We’ve discussed some of these in this thread, but I thought I’d devote a specific thread to the topic. What do you like and dislike? Any suggestions or requests? You can only hope to contain them (and the Braves haven’t been able to do that). Six straight wins. Eleven wins in thirteen games. Unbelievable. —– Instead of doing a recap, I really have to upgrade the software for the site tonight. If RN is acting a bit funky, or even if you can’t access it for [...] Baseball Prospectus has three items about the Reds today… 1. Discusses injuries to Ryan Hanigan and Chris Dickerson. BP says if you watch the video of Dickerson’s injury, to note that his shoes are not tied tightly. I’m squeamish about such things and haven’t watched it; what do you think? BP says [...] Minor league prospect prognosticator John Sickels updates his list of Reds’ top prospects from his December, 2008 list. The list is from December, as are the ratings. The notes are current for this year. A HUGE word of warning for this team: no A prospects are listed. He does say that we [...] Interesting story here about the Nationals (hat tip to C. Trent): The bloggers got to interview Washington Nationals interim manager Jim Riggleman and some of the players and general manager Mike Rizzo and team president Stan Kasten and other team officials. The bloggers got to watch the Nationals beat the Milwaukee Brewers in their own bloggers [...] Some points about the Reds from sabermetric circles that were published in the last couple of days: Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus reports on the latest Reds major injuries in a preview spot. They discuss Johnny Cueto, Edinson Volquez, Willy Taveras, and Scott Rolen’s injuries. They don’t rip Dusty Baker, but don’t let him [...] Rob Neyer’s ESPN Sweetspot has some interesting comments today. One that really got my attention (found in the Wednesday Wangdoogles section) was referring to a joint story written by Joe Posnanski and Bill James for Sports Illustrated. Neyer refers to more batters being hit by pitches today than before; Posnanski and [...] |
