Joe had 411 runners on last year while the guy who had Joe Mauer in front of him (Willingham) had 459 runners. If you apply Mauers RBI% to Willinghams total (%18.25) you get a total of 84 RBI. When...

Mackey states in this article "Ryan said the Twins will likely limit Gibson's innings to somewhere between 130 and 140 in 2013".

Correlation is measured between -1 and 1. Anything above 0 is considered correlation and I generally think of it this way:

I thought I would do some math to prove or disprove this point. To start with, I took the top 25 contracts from the ESPN Free Agent Tracker and ordered them from largest to smallest:

I have concerns that Swarzak is unable to horseplay at a major league level.

Who else did they sign? I only found Thorpe for $500,000 and Minier for $1,400,000?

I asked a question to Phil Mackey on a recent Twins chat:

I am not a doctor but I googled bone chips and didn't find anything that showed that weight lifting would cause bone chips:

Gagne has that unique throwing motion where his elbow looks like it is at a right angle and that is the image that come to my mind:

I emailed Doogie about this topic and here is his response. I find it curious that he does not have firm reporting right now if this is an actual offer.

Something else that supports a hard $80 million salary cap is that the Correia signing had $500,000 deferred into 2014 (2013-$4.5,2014-$5.5). Given we are $400,000 under $80 million this appears to...

Fun stat that I don't see that often, since Joe Mauer came in to the league in 2004 he is ranked 15th in the league in RBI % (% of runners on driven in).

Regardless of how people feel about Correia as a pitcher his contract is disturbing in its own way. When I heard that they had signed him to a 2 year/$10 million contract I assumed it was either...

Correia isn't the best choice out there but he isn't awful. If you compare him to Blanton and McCarthy he has the worst K/9 and BB/9 but his GB% is best of the three.

I have yet to see any real sentiment about not making the trades Ryan has made or signing guys to long term deals that may block minor league talent from coming...

One of the more underrated blog posts recently was this one by John and I think it got overlooked due to the great trade Ryan made with Revere but after Ryan’s interview with Reusse and Mackey on...
