Watching the game the other day, it was mentioned on the broadcast that one of Rob Johnson 's countless offseason surgeries was performed on his eyes. I forgot about this almost as quickly as I learned it, but SSI jogged my memory. Rob Johnson is one of the latest Major Leaguers to get LASIK. Now, I'm not going to use this as an opportunity to post another thread about whether or not vision enhancement...

Behind a group of talented young position players and several surprising pitching performances, the 2004 Texas Rangers won 89 games after averaging 72 wins per season from 2000-2003. Ryan Drese and Kenny Rogers anchored a staff that improved from 67 runs above replacement (RAR) in 2003 to 122 RAR in 2004. The 2004 bullpen was slightly better than what had been a very good bullpen in 2003 (91 RAR vs....

A reliever needs a memory like a goldfish. Sometimes, it's more like an elephant. Sometimes, that's a good thing. Joba Chamberlain yesterday recalled the three-run homer he surrendered to Indians pinch-hitter David Dellucci in the eighth inning . . . more than 17 months before.

The ability to get hit by a pitch is an under-appreciated skill, perhaps to an even greater extent than the ability to draw walks. I’ve always felt that simple HBP per plate appearance leaderboards captured the best Biggios in the game, but in a needless effort to complicate things, I decided to bring a crude analysis using pitchf/x data into the mix. My dataset consists of 544 players who saw...

Congratulations, Cubs fans. You’ve done it. You should be so proud of yourselves. The Cubs have not yet traded Milton Bradley, but he’s not going to be back in 2010. The Cubs will find a team to take him, send along half the money he’s owed (about $10.5 million) and seek a new right fielder who likely will not be as good as Milton Bradley. Well done. You all deserve a pat on the...

Well, after dropping the series to the Indians yesterday afternoon, the Jays look to get back on track against the division rival Tampa Bay Rays. Doc makes the start tonight (his last start as a Blue Jay at Rogers Centre?) against Matt Garza and hopefully he can build on what he did last time out against the Red Sox, when he pitched a complete game. Matt Garza has killed the Jays, so Doc might have...

The Blue Jays designated outfielder David Dellucci for assignment to make room for Joe Inglett, according to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian. Dellucci, 35, started the year with the Indians, before the Jays signed him. He only managed one hit as a Blue Jay in 25 at bats.

While the Indians 10-6 loss was really not news to anyone, the real story was David Dellucci getting a start in left field for the Blue Jays…. OK, I’m kidding. DD did get the start, going 0-2 with a walk and a runs scored, moving his season average to a hefty .185, but hey, DD [...]

After a disheartening loss last night, the Jays look to take the second game of the series tonight against the Indians. Hopefully the Jays can scrounge up a win tonight to get the bad taste out of our mouths. This is a big game because if the Jays can win it, they'll be 3-2 on the homestand and a good series against the Rays means they should have a successful one. Ricky Romero starts tonight and looks...

Is there anything worse than an under-performing whining millionaire who STOLE money from an organization that doesn’t have any to begin with? Yeah, that’s right David Dellucci, I am talking about you. Before I came over to WFNY, I wrote for the Indians blog Dump David Dellucci, which has since been renamed “Bench Ben Francisco.” While [...]
