Who's Looking Forward to A Lot of Cody Ransom?

Other than Cody Ransom? Ummm, everyone obviously. With the news of Alex Rodriguez being sidelined for potentially 10 weeks he looks like the clear cut favorite to be his replacement. The only other option currently on the roster is Angel Berroa and he'll need to decide to become a good player again, if he wants playing time.

So what kind of excitement will we get from the great Cody Ransom? Dude hit 4 home runs in just 43 at bats last season. That's a home run every 10.75 at bats. In comparison A-rod hit a measely 35 home runs in 510 at bats or one homer per 14.57 at bats. Arod hit .302 with a .396 OBP and a .573 Slugging %. Random hit .302 with a .400 OBP and a .651 Slugging %. Clearly at this stage of their career Cody Ransom is just a flat out better player than A-Rod.

Just try to ignore the fact that he's 33 years old and only has 183 career at bats. He's obviously just a late bloomer.

FOOOOOOUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
