Here are the links for the week of November 7th. Lots of great stuff in here. I suggest you check them out.
- Joe Posnanski takes a look at the ten World Series champions since 1946. Oh, and while you're there, check out his take on the world's worst invention.
- Rob Neyer takes a look at the Giants, and asks an interesting question: Are the Giants really all that different than the Moneyball A's?
- Fangraphs Matt Klaussen does a great article on 2010's most deluded person in the world. Oddly enough, Glenn Beck wasn't on the list...
- Another Fangraphs article. This one by Dave Cameron. He examines why the Red Sox and Rangers made very different decisions regarding their very similar DHs.
- NBC Hardball Talk's Craig Calcaterra is one of the snarkiest baseball writers in the business. In this article, he takes a look at baseball's desire to cut down on so-called "mystery teams." Read for the perspective. Stay for the Jon Heyman crack at the end.
- Another Moneyball article? If you must know, I'm obsessed. This time, Hardball Times compares the A's of the early aughts to the Rays of the last couple of years.
- Get your geek on with Dave Allen's analysis of Tim Lincecum's "new" slider. If you haven't been introduced to pitch f/x, check this one out.
- Not sick of me talking about Derek Jeter's upcoming contract yet? Jason at ITAMS gives his take of the situation.
- Fire Brand's Mike Silver has a controversial opinion. Zach Greinke is not a true ace. After reading his article, I'm not quite a convert, but I'm definitely skeptical.
- Sorry Cubs fans.
