This is a look at baserunning runs, excluding stolen base attempts. Here's the basic method: For all plays, we consider the lead runner only. We figure out the average change in run expectancy for the lead runner for each non-discretionary running event - typically a ball in play (either a hit, error or out). Those plays are grouped by: The number of outs in the inning. The type of event - single,...

With the shortstop signings of the last couple of last couple of days, the biggest pressing need for the team is a catcher. As Casey Stengel said, when asked why the expansion Mets used their first draft pick on a catcher, 'Without a catcher we'd have a lot of passed balls'. So I figured since it is the biggest shopping day of the US retail year, we'd put up a poll to see who folks thought the Jays...

Mike Napoli Ranked Worst Defensive Catcher in Baseball "As for the bottom ranks... Josh Bard is at -7.3, the human swing machine, Miguel Olivo, is at -8.8, and the Living Stereotype, Mike Napoli, is at -9.7. No wonder the Angels think Mathis is a good defender." from www.drivelinemechanics.com

With a 59-103 record, things were ugly again for the Nationals this year. But within baseball's worst record, there were bright spots -- and areas in which a large share of the blame wound up. Here is the report card for the Nationals' roster, coaching staff and front office for their performance in 2009: CATCHERS JOSH BARD C He enjoyed a strong first half and gets credit for playing much of the season...

I feel as if Upper Deck has done a fantastic marketing job for passing trade. This is the third time that someone visiting the US has 'just happened' to see baseball cards and picked me a few packs. I'm not complaining, although I have to wonder out of all the cards available in the US, that Upper Deck is the one chosen to buy. Is it the colourful front and large image that draws non-collectors towards...

Josh Bard prevented a shutout with this homer, but it was loss 101 for the Nats last night. (AP Photo/Luis M. Alvarez) Maryland 1, North Carolina 0 : Leading with college soccer?

via www.fangraphs.com This game was all about Javier Vazquez (+0.512), who managed to put John Lannan 's (+0.095) decent start to waste by denying him any run support except for a Josh Bard (+0.011) home run in junk time. No drama or standouts, just another loss. After 100, who's even counting?

The Braves begin possibly the most important stretch of games of the season... against the worst team in baseball. Interesting that our most important games in these last few days are against such a non-contender... but for some reason that scares the living sh*t out of 98% of Braves fans. Remember to vote in the Fan Confidence Poll (it was buried by several other posts after being posted this morning)....

Josh Bard saved a run with this nice play at the plate -- a run which came in handy in preventing the Nats' 100th loss of the year. (AP Photo/Nick Wass) Nationals 5, Dodgers 4 : I've got to be honest, I thought that I'd be talking all about the number 100 in this space tonight -- the Nats have looked especially poor as of late and were stuck on 99 losses. I mean, there's been no question since, well,...

Okay so one night I got bored and decided to look back at the rosters of the last few years and see where some of those guys ended up and who they play for now. It was fun for like a couple minutes but then it got real depressing when I saw just how many of those guys are still gritting it out in the minors. It was then that I decided to write up some of those names for you guys to read about, whether...
