Not only is he currently the best pitcher in the major leagues, but he's apparently also a "stat nerd" as well . “I thought that could push him over the top, because his won-loss record was way better than mine,” Greinke said. “But I’m also a follower, since Brian Bannister’s on our team, of sabermetric stuff and going into details of stats about what you can...

"David DeJesus had our best zone rating," Bannister said, referring to the Royals’ left fielder. "So a lot of times, Zack would pitch for a fly ball at our park instead of a ground ball, just because the zone rating was better in our outfield and it was a big park." To that end, Bannister introduced Greinke to FIP, or Fielding Independent Pitching, the statistic Greinke named...

Matt Holliday will likely get the biggest deal this offseason, but he’s no Mark Teixeira. John Lackey might not be as good a signing as some think, warns FanGraphs. FanGraphs gives an argument as to why trading for David DeJesus might be a better move than overpaying for a top free agent left fielder this offseason. Xavier [...]

First there was the error. A century later, we finally have the natural antithesis to the error: the Web Gem. The good people over at ESPN track all the best defensive plays in baseball on a daily basis, and come up with that short minute segment which is often a highlight of my night. This year, they began keeping track of who made each Web Gem, and were kind enough to share the data with me. Web...

The big news in Royalsville are the DeJesus rumors and the announcement that Alberto Callaspo did not qualify for arbitration as a Super Two. Expect Moore to get great anti-value for these guys any day now. The little news, but maybe a growing meme, is the Mike Moustakas weight gain. Sickels brought back a negative report from Arizona, and I've seen at least one other reference as well. If you're into...

Links for a busy Wednesday, as writers, agents, and GMs catch their flights out of O'Hare... The Royals are committed to Alex Gordon as their third baseman despite acquiring Josh Fields, according to Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. Fields instead could play left field in the event David DeJesus is traded. DeJesus' name popped up in our left field trade market post. Rosenthal and Morosi...

Browse more photos » Don't know if you noticed, but Hunter Pence was a close second to Ichiro in the third annual Fielding Bible Awards , which were announced Monday. It was a nice finish for Pence, who has worked hard to turn himself into a very capable right fielder. Since Michael Bourn also finished...

Similar to the 2010 Relievers post from several days ago, this is meant to present a snapshot of who remains on the roster, can we jettison some dead weight, and are there any holes to be filled? The particulars about how many batters the team keeps on the 25-man and how many infielders/outfielders/Teahen-Bloomquist-IF/OF hybrids are kept will have a factor in the final roster (please allow some leeway...

Yesterday at Beyond the Box Score I wanted to see if Vladimir Guerrero was able to determine if a pitch was out of the strike zone and the results. The only person I could think of with worse strike zone judgement was Miguel Olivo . I ran the same numbers for Olivo and a few other Royals . For my strike zone, I used -1.2 and 1.2 for the x dimension and 1.5 to 3.5 for the y dimension. For the expanded...

One of the things that made Topps' 2009 flagship product such a critical success this year, but has gone mostly unheralded because of its position on the back of the card, is the bevy of interesting stats Topps included in an arching graphic on the back of each card. I'd like to share something interesting from each card in this pack of 2009 Topps Chrome (retail). 207 Mike Hinckley (RC) - According...

(Thanks for sticking with us here at Ball Star. I'll have some Chiefs and/or Big 12 football thoughts on UFR soon, but wanted to get this up first.) There are any number of ways to point out just how bad the Royals are. Their season was disappointing enough that everyone's performance can be criticized*, everyone's security questioned. * Zack Greinke, Billy Butler, David DeJesus and Joakim Soria are...

MINNEAPOLIS | Outfielder David DeJesus rejoined the Royals before the series opener against the Twins after missing six straight games while battling a severe case of the flu. It was a still weak DeJesus, however. He didn’t start Friday’s game, and his status is uncertain for the season’s two remaining games.
