Melky's Defense by the Week by SG
One of the things I wanted to do this season in order to better understand how to assess the value players bring defensively was to track defense weekly. My hope was that doing this would allow me to see any patterns or changes in time periods, rather than a single year-end number.

Daisuke Matsuzaka by SG
There's no question that the starting pitching on the Yankees needs some improvement. With an uninspiring crop of US free agents this year led by Barry Zito and Jason Schmidt, one name that has been garnering a lot of interest is that of Daisuke Matsuzaka. Matsuzaka is a 26 year-old right-hander from the Seibu Lions, who was the MVP of the World Baseball Classic this year.

Why the Yankees should keep Mike Mussina by SG
Over at Was Watching, Steve Lombardi made the argument about why the Yankees should let Mussina walk. I like Steve and think he runs a great blog, but I disagree with him in this instance.

The Worst Teams Money Can Buy - Revisited by SG
Yesterday I ran through an exercise to look at the worst teams money can buy. My methodolgy raised some questions which are fair, so I thought I would look for a different way to do this. Thankfully, the late Doug Pappas already did a lot of this. Pappas uses a formula which deducts the replacement level threshold, so that wins over a .300 WPct are more valuable, which makes more sense than the linear calculations I did yesterday.

The Worst Teams Money Can Buy by SG
Reader (and fellow blogger) Brent raised an interesting question in the comments yesterday about who the worst team money could buy may be. The invaluable Lahman database has salary information dating back to 1985, so I figured that's a reasonable cutoff.

Run Values of the 2006 Yankees by SG
With the Yankees' 2006 season at its end, I wanted to take one last look back at the contributions of everyone who wore pinstripes this season. I posted the details of a lot of these calculations in this entry a while back, so if you want more background you can check that out.

What Happened? by SG
I have to admit that the Yankees getting dominated by Detroit kind of stunned me. It's not that I didn't think Detroit was a good team, it just seemed like the Yankees were stacked on offense. To see the way a lineup that some were considering the greatest lineup ever got shut down by Kenny Rogers and then Jeremy Bonderman was surreal. Here's the team's offensive performance.

2006 ALDS Game 3: Yankees at Tigers, 8:05 PM ET by SG
Here are the lineups for tonight.
Be Careful What You Wish For by SG
Like many, I was glad to see the Yankees draw Detroit instead of Minnesota. It's not that I didn't think Detroit was a good team, it's just that Minnesota seemed scarier. As Oakland opened up a commanding 2-0 lead against those Twins we were all scared of, the Tigers managed to tie their ALDS series with the Yankees with a 4-3 victory at the Stadium yesterday.

O Captain! My Captain! by SG
Thanks to Derek Jeter's 5-5 night, the Yankees took the first game of their ALDS with Detroit, 8-4. After neither team could score over the first two innings, Jeter's double after an infield single by Johnny Damon got the Yankee offense going. Bobby Abreu's post-season debut as a Yankee went well, as he proceeded to drive them both in with a double to deep RF. Gary Sheffield followed with a single to CF, and then Jason Giambi lined a HR to RF.

ALDS Preview - Tigers vs. Yankees by SG
It's ALDS preview time, as the Yankees will be taking on Detroit Tuesday night on FOX at 8 PM.
Getting Ready by SG
Bernie Williams's tenure as Yankee manager ended up being unsuccessful, as his team fell to the Blue Jays 7-5 yesterday afternoon. Jaret Wright wasn't particularly good, but overall on the season he was about average as far as the value he provided the team. His peripherals indicate that he's been lucky, but hopefully that luck continues through the rest of October.
