		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going to start blogging more often, specifically about baseball. To get in the mood, I&#8217;ve been reading through some of my oldest posts on this site. A couple things have become painfully clear: I used to be super obnoxious. (I said USED TO!!!) I&#8217;ve made a lot of over-confident predictions. On #1, I&#8217;m hoping [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who is this player? Had a HUGE power surge in the early-to-mid-90s. Went from a skinny kid to a big, muscular power hitter over that same time period. Starting having major injury problems right around the time MLB started cracking down on steroids. Never had a great season after the current, stricter drug policy was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve started watching Ken Burns&#8217; &#8220;Baseball&#8221; series while I exercise, and this morning I saw something interesting. In the first episode, Charles McDowell says this about the decision to put the bases 90 feet apart: That&#8217;s so interesting that that would come out 90 feet. That somebody sat down, Mr. Cartwright or whoever said, &#8220;Hey [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple days ago over at HardballTalk, Craig Calcaterra wrote about some controversy surrounding Joe Ricketts, the patriarch of the family that owns the Chicago Cubs. Ricketts is apparently very anti-Obama and is using his wealth to spearhead some efforts to get a new president elected this fall. One of the tactics his group is [...]]]></description>

Okay, then we&#8217;re all in agreement that career WAR (Wins Above Replacement) is not necessarily an accurate representation of how good someone was, especially someone who had a relatively short [...]]]></description>

He clearly loves and is passionate about baseball, which will surprise people who think stats have taken all the fun out of the game, because Rob is also one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s my other question, and it&#8217;s not so much about eligibility as would-you-vote-for-this-guy?-ability. Let&#8217;s say a guy has a season that looks something like this: Batting average: .200 On-base percentage: .200 Slugging percentage: .375 Home runs: 35 RBIs: 105 Runs: 35 Doubles: 0 Triples: 0 Singles: 85 So this guy went 120-for-600 with 35 homers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s say a player gets called up from the minors in late August. His team is 10 games out of first place. He spends 40 days on the roster and accumulates 125 at-bats, thereby preserving his rookie status for the next season. But in those 40 days and 125 at-bats, he bats .600 with 36 [...]]]></description>
