This was a high-quality, medium-quantity week. My favorite articles were about…
… how the Tampa Bay Rays could improve their team by trading Carl Crawford.
… the fact that the wrong member of the overhyped 20-20-20-20 club is a 2007 MVP candidate. Bonus points if you understood the Ace Ventura reference in the title.
… the White Sox and their suckitude. I’ve already found some flaws in the numbers I used, but the general idea holds.
… how the increase in homeruns over the past twenty years was a self-perpetuating cycle. There’s even a cool flowchart diagram!
… a quiz I found in my favorite magazine about how to tell if your favorite player is under- or over-rated. This one got the site a whole lot of traffic, and it’s probably the dumbest thing I’ve written in a while. Fun, but dumb.
