Light Reading

A couple interesting links:

Manny Acta Reads Blogs. Nice little interview here and I appreciated his comments in regards to bunting and Baseball Prospectus.

Piling On. We might be seeing more of these articles in the next two months in the wake of the sweep. Dump Aramis Ramirez and pick up A-Rod. While it would be an upgrade for sure both defensively and offensively, I'm wondering whether anyone still thinks A-Rod can play shortstop.

Moving Up a Level. This is a topic that Bill James has been talking about for a little while but it involves looking not at how teams win using performance analysis but looking at how leagues can and perhaps should be structured using data analysis. Interesting stuff.
