  1. @Bucksky619 No one's dumping on Teixeira. We're making fun of how BBWWA votes for all 1B. That was just a list of the top AL 1B. Chill out.
  2. So @extrabaggs voted for Jeremy Affeldt. Also said that CC rejected the Yanks' offer last year. Great track record there.
  3. I hope a first baseman runs for Senate from New York next year so the BBWWA writers in the area can vote for him.
  4. My 2010 AL MVP Ballot: Teixeira, Youkilis, Miguel Cabrera, Morales, Pena, Morneau, Branyan, Billy Butler. Am I doing it right, BBWAA?
  5. RT: @mikeaxisa: Chase Utley sheds a tear. http://tinyurl.com/ygtps8h // Fielder (2) and Howard (3) but no Utley. Ugh sad.
  6. @CapitolAvenue I'm not saying Clay is bad. I just don't think Buchholz gives BOS clear-cut advantage if they (foolishly) decide to move him.
  7. @CapitolAvenue In that case, though, they project pretty similarly. Top-line starters as ceiling with Hughes two years younger. Disagree?
  8. @FireJerryManuel Still, for both pitchers, small sample size problems abound.
  9. @FireJerryManuel It's not cherry picking to evaluate over entire career. Hughes had an awful 2008 as starter too. Those #'s are included.
  10. @FireJerryManuel @jh_moore Plus, the age difference. It's pretty much a toss-up. Clay isn't a clear-cut better starter yet.
  11. @FireJerryManuel @jh_moore As starter, Clay has 50 more IP but ERA diff is 0.25. Clay has better K/9 by 0.5 but same BB rate and higher WHIP
  12. @FireJerryManuel In nearly the same amt of IP, Hughes has better K/9, lower BB/9 and HR/9 than Clay. He's also two years younger.
  13. I love Boston-based writers who think that Buchholz is somehow more attractive than Joba/Hughes. http://tinyurl.com/ydcxwnb
  14. Via @sportspickle: Mother lives in sports blogger's basement. I LOL'd. http://tinyurl.com/yjepktg
  15. Do sportswriters truly think that Derek Jeter was less valuable than Mark Teixeira? It boggles the mind.
  16. RT: @SI_JonHeyman: baseball's greatest insult. DFA'ed by #pirates. http://bit.ly/7ZvYkQ // I was just saying this to @tommy_bennett.
  17. 40-Man roster additions include AJAX, Nova. Nova was picked in the Rule V draft last year. http://tinyurl.com/y9y9xg8
  18. I think we killed the flashing, talking ad on RAB. Give it a bit to kick in. If you still see the ad this weekend/next week let us know.
  19. One more time for the morning crowd: Get RAB update notifications via Twitter with our new @RABfeed account.
  20. In 1968, Denny McLain won 31 games en route to the AL Cy Young Award. This year, the two Cy Young Award winners won 31 games combined.
