PrOPS and the 2005 Yankees by SG
Over on the Hardball Times, JC Bradbury introduced a system called PrOPS. The basis behind PrOPS, is to look deeper into a player's stats and come up with a predicted OPS, based on several factors, including:

Setting up the roster by SG
Well, there's not much activity in Yankee-land as we wait for the next 48 days to pass before pitchers and catchers report to spring training. It appears that the Yankees are basically done with adding players at this point, although I think they are still trying to find a corner OF that can play RF so they can DH Gary Sheffield more often.

Merry Christmas by Larry Mahnken
As most of you know... or I guess maybe not most of you, but a good number of you know... I'm an atheist, so Christmas doesn't have any spiritual meaning for me, but I still want to wish everyone out there the happiest of holidays and the best possibly New Year, and to hell with John Gibson and Bill O'Reilly.

Baseball Think Factory: Count the Rings™ by SG
One of my favorite websites on the net is Baseball Think Factory. It's actually where I "met" Larry and Sean McNally and it got Larry and then the rest of us into the whole blogging thing(which may or may not have been a good thing). They've just opened a new Yankee-centric blog called Count the Rings™ where Yankee articles and stories of note will be posted for discussion. Anyone who's interested should check it out. You have to register to post, but not to read it. If you can brave the ocassional Red Sox troll, it's a pretty good place for some interesting discussion, with a sabermetric slant.

Johnny B. Good Enough by Larry Mahnken
Stop it, stop it, stop it. Shutup, shutup, shutup. You shouldn't be complaining about this one. The Yankees just won the AL East, and vastly improved their chances of winning the World Series.
by SG
My first reaction to the Johnny Damon signing was purely emotional, and not very meaningful in a baseball sense. After spending the last four seasons watching him patrol CF for the Yankees' biggest rival, it was difficult for me to separate a man I associate with the Red Sox now donning Yankee pinstripes. I will now attempt to remove my emotion from this signing to look at it as a pure baseball move.

Stephen Colbert: Formidable Opponent by Larry Mahnken
A transcript of last night's Colbert Report debate on steroids: Stephen 1: Last week Major League Baseball players unanimously approved new penalties for steroid use, and the WWE announced that it would randomly test wrestlers for steroids, recreational and prescription drugs. Will this crackdown on performance-enhancing drugs save the world or sports, or just rob it of its superstars? A question this slippery can’t be debated with just anyone, and that’s why joining me tonight is America’s toughest pundit: Stephen 2: Me, Stephen Colbert. This is Formidable Opponent. S1: Well, welcome back Stephen. S2: Good to be here. S1: Hey, you been working out? S2: Little bit, little bit. Mon, Wed, Fri: Trats, Delts, Lats and Pecks; Tues, Thurs: Quads and Glutes. S1: Well, you’ve really made some progress. S2: Well, I’ve had a little help. THG. S1: But… that stuff’s illegal. S2: That just means the FDA hasn’t approved it yet. Tylenol and insulin were once “illegal”, but you wouldn’t deny them to a diabetic with a headache, would you? S1: No, but these people are just trying to live a normal life. People who take performance-enhancing drugs are cheating to get ahead! S2: Maybe so. S1: Steroids undermine the spirit of fair play! S2: I see your point. S1: And growth hormones… hey, why aren’t you debating me? S2: Why should I? You don’t seem to think it’s important for people to bring their “A” game. S1: That’s not true! I’m the guy who says, “You’ve gotta give 110%!” S2: Well, where do you think that extra 10% comes from? Let me give you hint: you inject it into your ass. S1: But, steroids set a dangerous example. When kids hear about their heroes taking drugs, they think it’s okay to do it, too! S2: Any kid with the attention span to make that connection is already on Ritalin. S1: Okay, point taken. But, what about the liver damage, the severe mood swings, the testicular shrinkage? S2: YOU SHUT YOUR DIRTY LITTLE MOUTH, MISTER, BEFORE I SHUT IT FOR YOU!!! S1: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! S2: Hey, sorry. Sorry. That was just, that was just Roid Rage. Go ahead. S1: But sports aren’t about chemicals. They’re about celebrating the human body at its best. S2: Okay, but now we have the technology to re-define “best.” And, for that matter, “human.” S1: I’m still not convinced. S2: All right, let’s say you’re an athlete. S1: Okay, I’ve said it before. What do I play? S2: Baseball. You’re a major star, and your biggest fan, nine-year-old Freddie McGuillicutty, is laid up in the hospital, he’s very sick, and he’s got a request. S1: Lemme guess: he wants me to hit one out of the park? S2: No, he wants you to hit eight out of the park. S1: Wait… has anyone even done that? S2: He’s dying, Stephen! S1: Okay! I’ll do it! S2: Are you sure you don’t want any… help? S1: No drugs! I’m just gonna give it my all! S2: All right, you go for it! You hit seven home runs in the first eight innings, no one’s seen anything like it! Then you come up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, two outs on the board, you get set in your stance, the pitcher nods to the catcher and here comes a big fat fastball right down the middle! You crush it! The ball goes screaming down the right field line, it is high! It is deep! S1: Get out! Get outta here! S2: It’s going over the wall! S1: WOOOOOOOOOOO!!! S2: Wait! The right fielder’s got a bead on it, and he’s on human growth hormone! He leaps like a kangaroo on crack, and he just snatches that ball, just as it’s about to land in a fan’s outstretched glove! Game over! S1: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I’m so sorry Freddie!!! S2: Stephen, he’s gone. S1: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! S2: Too bad you didn’t take HGH. Maybe he would have held on long enough for that neck transplant. One just became available. S1: No! Why was I so selfish? Next time I’ll take the steroids, the acne and the balding and the man-breasts would have been worth it! S2: Sorry. The government thinks you don’t deserve performance-enhancing drugs. S1: Well, then they’re wrong! Wow. You make a strong argument. S2: Well, I’m a strong man. And you, my friend, are a formidable opponent.
Nomah? by Larry Mahnken
Joe Torre's making the rounds again, calling Johnny Damon and Nomar Garciaparra while the Yankees try to woo them to the Bronx. Will it work? I doubt Damon will come, the Yankees won't sign him unless he's willing to take a 4-year deal, and the Red Sox have a 4-year deal on the table for him.
Re-building the 2004 Red Sox by SG
Having inked Mike Myers in a deal that is expected to be formally announced today, the Yankees are now continuing in their quest to re-build the 2004 Boston Red Sox in the Bronx apparently. In addition to Myers, they have already had stints by Mark Bellhorn, Alan Embree, and Ramiro Mendoza. However, those players were not key players for the Yankees, but there are two new names this offseason who could be.

No Activity > Bad Activity by SG
The New York media is growing restless, with story after story after story after story about how "quiet" the Yankees are being this offseason. I appreciate the media's desire for a story, because it's pretty freaking hard to write about the Yankees when they're not doing anything to address some pretty critical areas of need. Luckily we don't get paid for blogging and don't have deadlines, so we can skip a day or two here and there.

Don't Forget A Courtesy Flush by Larry Mahnken
And, thank God, the Tony Womack era is over.
How useful will Mike Myers be? by SG
It's basically a done deal that the Yankees have inked Mike Myers to a 2 year deal, for $2.4 million. Also, since the Red Sox declined to offer him arbitration(which makes NO sense to me), he cost nothing in draft pick compensation. Frankly, in this market, that's a very good deal.
