Here it is as a giant file you can download into a database or Excel. http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/blog_article/historical-win-shares/ --Dan L....
I don't know about career tables, but when individual years are available you can add them up if you're determined enough. Bill James's book has WS through...
Anybody know any online site (or any other resource) that shows all time win shares? I know Hardball Times shows career Win Shares for current players (plus...
USA Today has a salary database that is updated shortly after Opening Day with the Opening Day payrolls of each player and team. You can find it at: ...
Another payroll question. This was a statement I read recently by someone: "The Yankees signed the best three available free agents last winter, have a...
In a couple of conversations I was in today, the subject of team salaries came up. How does the Yankees' 2009 payroll compare with their 2008 payroll? How...
What do you guys think about Pavano? All this talk about Cabrera, and he's being projected as a spare infielder! Pavano is a potential rotation guy. Should the...
I had Glass in rotation that day with the Dead Kennedys and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, for example, so maybe my idea of mellow is different than some others'. The...
Tossing in the outfield likewise conjures a different mental image to them than to us. Long-toss would bring out their competitive spirit. -- John Gregory...
Apropos your story, Alan (and even realted to baseball), never tell an Australian base ball player to to go to the outfield and shag. Has an entirely different...
I had the same thought about Philip Glass. (But some people I know think Ornette Coleman is mellow.) The answer is: the movie's director, John Sayles, who...
Funny, mellow is not the mood I associate with Philip Glass. Trivia points for anyone who remembers (without looking it up) who played Ring Lardner in Eight...
If I weren't sitting down at the moment, I would stand corrected on the point about Lardner's personal style. Thanks for the insight. And if I weren't...
I don't know how we got so far afield on this topic, but I've heard it said that without all the lawsuits that are filed here, we'd see the use of a whole lot...
Someone born outside the US should do the same as someone born inside the US, when faced with legal trouble: hire an attorney, not simply an interpreter....
I find myself in sympathy wiith Latino and Japanese players who prefer to use an interpreter when talking to the media. I have a Danish friend of many years,...
I think the answer is a little of both..... A hitter at a prime spot in the lineup will have more opportunities in high leverage situations. If he's a good...
This is interesting stuff. Do you think it's relevant over the short-term or that it's just a matter of the vagaries of when the hits occur and will even out...
On the subject of Cabrera's value...... There is a neat statistic that's growing in popularity called Win Probability Added or WPA. To borrow from Denny...
I recently picked up Odd Man Out: A Year on the Mound with a Minor League Misfit by Matt McCarthy on remainder. He describes a surprisingly wide distance...
Alan raises a very good point. Imagine yourself playing in Japan as the only American. Then think how great it would be if the team signed one more American. I...
Beyond that, Alan, what's your opinion of the O.C.'s on-field performance? Last night I sat amid a group that included some folks who were more enamored than...
It would be nice if race and nationality had nothing to do with this. But in the real world it does, of course. And having lived overseas for years, I know...
Tom Powers said that Casilla speaks English well and Gomez speaks it well enough. He also said that Casilla and Gomez gravitated toward Cabrera when he joined...
... When I mentioned that the word on Cabrera was that he was good in the clubhouse, I wasn't thinking about that being limited to Latin players any more than...
