Another week in the books. You can find the full weekly archives, if you like. My favorite posts of the week were about:
- Calling out the idiots who use the words “consistent” and “clutch” when they simply mean “good”.
- Showing why consistency actually is a good thing for above-average teams, but bad for poor teams.
- Graphing the 2005 talent distributions of each position. Firstbasemen are better than catchers, believe it or not.
I also started writing for FanGraphs.com. Here are the articles I’ve written for them so far:
- Daily Graphing - Adam Dunn
- Daily Graphing - Mike Lowell; this one’s my favorite so far.
- Speed Plots - May 10
