Baseball players can make contributions in a number of different ways, the most obvious and talked-about of which is how they do at the plate. Defense, position, and baserunning tend to be brushed off as secondary concerns.

Davis has a career .735 OPS against lefties vs .717 against righties, while Johnson has an .841 OPS versus lefties and just .707 versus righties. On the other hand, Davis is a game...

The Red Sox have already clinched a playoff berth, nailing down the the wildcard and no longer contending for the division. The games are purely to tune up for the playoffs and round out guys’ baseball cards. Sure, some of us are praying...
