New TA06 for your pre-holiday perusal. The Marlins cement themselves in Marlindom, the White Sox make the most 2006 trade imaginable, and Mike Cameron and Rick Helling are both disrespected.

The Marlins blow it up, again, while the White Sox replace their Hall of Famer with a Hall of Famer, and Mike Cameron continues to be disrespected.

The Rockies had the second-worst production out of their second basemen last year, so naturally they spent half the year playing their best second baseman in right field, where it looked like he was afraid the ball would explode if he caught it.
I love writing about the Rockies.

really enjoyed this @euqubud.baseballprospectus.com piece on the Rockies and specifically Tyler Freeman's outfield defense. What the hell is going on there, anyway?

I lost money this year, which means baseball team owners are just like me. We should hang out at a food court somewhere, commiserate over some Sbarro

Was tempted to make and print out a fake Hall ballot full of guys like Ryon Healy and Eric Thames and Héctor Rondón, but then I wondered if I might actually get in trouble for that now

MLB might not really want a salary cap just yet with so much at stake, but the nonsensical leaks of money they won't prove they actually lost have started anyway. It's CBA season, baby, here's my latest for @baseballprospectus.com

Last year I went 6-for-49 on predicting the landing spots of the top 50 free agents. So far this year, thanks to all those qualifying offers, I'm 6-for-6. I will finish 6-for-49.

Today for Baseball Prospectus I’ve brought back an old favorite series: TA94, except now it’s TA06. We’re going through the transactions of the 2005-06 offseason, armed with the twin powers of hindsight and analytics. This week: Frank Thomas, Hideki Matsui, and Jeff Suppan.

Hard to believe, but my son turns ten today. Which means it's also been ten years since I was lying on my stomach on a pull-out hospital cot, marking up printed-out copies of Annual essays and apologizing to Sam and Jason for being so behind
