Los Angeles Angels: A Sabermetric Approach: April 2008
http://laangelsstats.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Los Angeles Angels: A Sabermetric Approach. Saturday, April 5, 2008. Tim Salmon: Definition of an Underrated Superstar. The average sports fan knows that Alex Rodriguez frosts his tips, that Manny Ramirez has no idea what's going on, who Derek Jeter is dating, etc. Those players have been excellent in the past, so they deserve a share of the national spotlight. But do they deserve as much of it as they get? Despite the setbacks, the Angels kept promoting Salmon, and he played a year in Double-A ball in M...

Los Angeles Angels: A Sabermetric Approach: November 2007
http://laangelsstats.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Los Angeles Angels: A Sabermetric Approach. Tuesday, November 6, 2007. It’s this simple: the Angels need Alex Rodriguez. They need his .400 OBP and his .600 slugging. They need someone who can provide 3rd base production from the 3rd base spot, because. I love Chone Figgins, but a .700 OPS from a corner infield spots puts the Angels at a distinct disadvantage when they play the Sox, Yanks, Tigers, etc. In short…it comes down to how badly Arte wants to grow the team. If he’s thinking big, ...American Madr...

Los Angeles Angels: A Sabermetric Approach. Saturday, January 5, 2008. New Trade Target: Paul Konerko. The Angels are reportedly interested. In acquiring 32-year-old White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko. The Angels pursued Konerko as a free agent in the winter of 2005, only to see him re-sign for the White Sox in November of that year. It's no secret that the Angels have been trying to upgrade their offense this off-season, failing in an attempt to acquire a young impact bat in Miguel Cabrera. A more in-...

Los Angeles Angels: A Sabermetric Approach: Disaster in Nashville
http://laangelsstats.blogspot.com/2007/12/disaster-in-nashville.html
Los Angeles Angels: A Sabermetric Approach. Friday, December 7, 2007. The Winter Meetings are over, and the long-coveted 3rd baseman Miguel Cabrera has been traded. The only problem: he went to the wrong team, and now he will be crushing pitches in Detroit and not in Los Angeles of Anaheim. Let me get this out of the way now, I am furious. I am beyond furious. Question: Who is Ervin Santana and who is Nick Adenhart? 2007: .966 OPS, comprised of a much needed .401 OBP and a .565 slugging. ...2006: .99...

Los Angeles Angels: A Sabermetric Approach: Starting Pitching Blues: Fantasy Strategy
http://laangelsstats.blogspot.com/2008/02/starting-pitching-blues-fantasy.html
Los Angeles Angels: A Sabermetric Approach. Tuesday, February 12, 2008. Starting Pitching Blues: Fantasy Strategy. Rany Jazayerli, one of the baseball minds over at Baseball Prospectus. Spring training isn't even in full swing yet, and there are already injuries to report for the 2008 season. Not surprisingly, they are injuries to starting pitchers, the most important and concurrently brittle parts of baseball organizations today. In real baseball, teams need good starting pitching if they want to have a...
