Jacoby Ellsbury is changing numbers for next season. He will leave 46 behind and opt for number 2, which was recently vacated by Brad Mills when he left the team for the Astros job. No word on whether or not Ells asked the RemDawg if it was OK to take his old number. As you can see from the image below, Ellsbury was number 23 in college.

Recently when I posted about the huge UK phenomenon that is Match Attax Football , I was contacted by a reader in the US of A who asked if I wouldn't mind sending her son some cards. He is a big Evertonian and Premiership Football fan. They would be happy to send some baseball back my way. I have no absolutely no problem with this, in fact this is the sort of trade I was trying to encourage. I sent...
THE PURSUIT OF 80's(ness) (Free subscription) | 11/14/2009
Many of us have returned to card collecting after a break. For me it was getting married and having children. Less time, less disposable income and just being plain knackered. Now my children are at an age where collecting can be a shared experience, there is a little left over at the end of the month and well frankly sleep is overrated. So it was great to find the blog Hey That's Mine. Derek returned...

I created UZR projections for the 2010 season and the values are available on a Google Documents Spreadsheet . I got 4 years worth of UZR numbers from Fangraphs. Then I did a 5-4-3-2 yearly weighting regressed to 125 games with a -0.7UZR aging factor ( article where the math is explained ). I selected for the worksheet any players that played in at least 63 games at the position over the last 4 years....

Red Sox Reality Check (Free subscription) | 11/07/2009
The New York Yankees got their 27th championship, a magical combination of glory and greenbacks, and the Red Sox have Jeremy Hermida. So, we're all feeling a lot better. The Sox seem destined for the poorhouse it seems, with Josh Beckett only a year away from free agency, Jason Bay suddenly the defensive talent of say, Mike Greenwell, and John Henry doing a chopshop job on his investment company. Maybe...

So, yeah...we had some people predicting the outcome of the World Series. And well, they were wrong. Let's take Jimmy Rollins. He predicted what? Oh yeah...he predicted that the Phillies were going to win the World Series in 5 games, 6 if they were NICE to the Yankees. Sighs. Not so much. I saw this ecard today over at someecards.com and if it wasn't so depressing, it would be hilarious. OK. It's...

It's not an over statement that the Over The Monster community under estimated what Jacoby Ellsbury would do this season . Nobody was really that close at all. Only one guess was actually over his batting average this season and the closest guess for stolen bases was still 14 off. Rough. The categories for Ellsbury were: AB, HR, BA, OBP, SLG and SB. His actual stats: G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB K SB CS...
