Yesterday we talked about how Jim Hendry is a large reason why the expectations for this team have been raised. Some of you have disagreed with my claim that 2003 was mostly meaningless when it comes to the higher expectations. I think I overstated that. 2003 was clearly an important year for this organization. I'm just not convinced it did more for expectations than 1998 or 2001. Regardless of which...

Fangraphs is once again going to list the projections on their player pages from a variety of sources, Bill James , CHONE, Marcel....maybe more.

Since then his power has gone missing; even this year his ISO is only .118. The biggest difference between 2009 and 2005 is the amount of skill retention you would expect moving forward. His BABIP this season is a robust and almost certainly unsustainable .360. His career average BABIP is .323, and only once before has his seasonal BABIP finished above .330 – last year, .331. He is walking more...

No matter which team you prefer, you're either sad to see baseball go or glad the long, torturous 2009 season is done. Benjy will wrap up the season for both teams (and look ahead to 2010) later in the week, but for now, here's what went down yesterday. Sox Rally Falls Short Down 5-0, the Sox put on a small rally late in their season finale but couldn't quite catch up as they fell to Detroit 5-3 ....

The Cubs ended the 2009 season in a game that pretty much sums up the year; they got some good pitching, someone homered, and in the end, they couldn't come through in the clutch, this time losing 5-2 to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Cubs finish the season 83-78....

Well, that was fun, huh? You didn't have fun this season? Yeah, me neither. To be honest, I haven't watched a lot of Cubs baseball lately. For the same reason I don't hang around the oncology ward of my local hospital. Tending to the slow wasting away of a reasonably promising team is not my ideal plan to spend the fleeting Chicago summer. Which is not to say I didn't have nagging fears about this...
