​All times are approximate

03:15: Sam Miller previews today's Jeff Mathis analysis.

04:20: People have often questioned Jeff Mathis' playing time. In fact, Sam tackled that topic in his very first article for Baseball Prospectus.

05:30: Ben Lindbergh mentioned Matt Swartz's article on the expected value of re-signing their own players.  Here's the follow-up to that article.

06:45: Ben wrote a blog post about Gregg Zaun's predictions for Mathis' offense on August 2.

10:40: Ben mentioned the interesting Mark Kotsay extension by the Padres. Here's R.J. Anderson's take in Transaction Analysis ($).

12:45: Ben's topic is BP co-founder Rany Jazayerli's blog post The 2012 Royals And The Illusion of Chemistry.

19:10: The Red Sox might be the ideal candidate for analysis of chemistry, since chemistry has been a long-standing problem in their clubhouse. Sadly, it didn't go away when they traded Kevin Youkilis. ($)  Here's Michael Bates with a historical comp to this year's Red Sox clubhouse. ($)
