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.

Those plays are grouped by: The number of outs in the inning. The type of event - single,...

We were just talking about this in the comments and Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi can be added to the list of people who have said the Cubs need to trade Bradley before they can add another player. The Cubs’ offseason truly will kick off only after they trade outfielder Milton Bradley. Only then can they begin, in earnest, their pursuit of a center fielder. A left-handed hitter would fit...

More photos » by Luis Alvarez - AP Browse more photos » Yesterday, I posted an idea regarding a potential free agent signing for a Cubs bench position in 2010. Admittedly, this wasn't the most important possible addition to the roster for next year -- however, the Cubs had a very poor bench in 2009 and I still think Chad Tracy (at the right price) would be a good addition. Today, I'm going...

Rem. what an intricate part of the Mets Paul Lo Duca was in 2006, not only was he solid contributor on the field but he was also the emotional leader of the club. I know Lo Duca plans a comeback and while I wish him all the luck in the world, I hope it's not with us ( except on a minor league deal). The Mets have been missing tht ingredient since Lo Duca left, no I'm not saying bring in a .200 hitter...

Chris De Luca of the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that White Sox GM Kenny Williams flatly denied that Chicago would have enough money to spend on free agent leadoff hitter Chone Figgins. ''We don't have that kind of money," Williams said. "Sometimes the minor [free-agent deals] are the major ones, in my mind. How many Novembers have you heard that line?" De Luca does report, however,...
