I love that the Rays have a broadcasters named Dewayne Staats. That's finding the extra 2%.

To the list of today's great funny sportswriters, you have to add Grantland's Brian Phillips in all his witty-wonky brilliance. (http://www.grantland.com/contributor/_/name/brian-phillips)

I will never think of Frenchy the same way again. Another awesome piece by my new favorite baseball writer.

As a reader, I would like to see articles like this one end with a couple of short examples of how this analysis can help us think about a particular player. I don't always read the methodology closely, but I would like to know what it means for how to understand players. Applying the study's insight to analyze a case or two would make me much more likely to click on methodological articles in the future.

I agree completely. Anonymous sources make for irresponsible journalism. The line that this allows them to speak candidly has become a stock phrase that excuses people from being responsible for what they say.

What kinds of injuries have become more prevalent as equipment has gotten "better"? A fascinating start can be found in the book "Why Things Bite Back," where Edward Tenner talks about how boxing gloves led to more serious brain injuries, and new kinds of ski bindings prevented fractures but increased ligament tears. I'd love to know about similar effects in baseball.
