I like to combine David Smith's Base Runs and David Gassko's Pitching Runs Created into one single list of "run creation/prevention" leaders for the year. It gives you a pretty good idea of each player's impact on offense and defense, leaving only fielding out of the equation. Here's the final list for 2008. As you can see, the top four players are starting pitchers:

TARP, Baby! Veteran Fannie Mae critic David Smith builds on Andy Kessler to explain why Paulson's "troubled-asset" purchase plan may make sense. The taxpayers could even make so much money that the governement could fund ... national health care! (Take that, Jim Lehrer.) ... As usual, Smith's post is exceptionally easy to follow for those (like me) who don't understand fancy financials. ... It's a...

Filed under: Colts , NFL Injuries Posted 2008-09-26T08:58:00+00:00 by Michael David Smith ( author feed ) When he's healthy, Indianapolis Colts safety Bob Sanders is, in my opinion, the best defensive player in the NFL.
