Because this could make for a good book some day

Or a book at least. Baseball-Reference.com posted this somewhat skimpy Year in Review today. Among the interesting bits of “trivia”: Most player page views by state Most team page views by state Most viewed player pages on a single day Top 10 player page views for 2022 And that’s it. Kind of disappointing, especially when the email shows three of the four items while telling to click a link…

COMPARING A PAIR OF SOX - THE FIRST 50 GAMES OF EDUARDO RODRIGUEZ AND CARLOS RODON #MLB #RedSox #WhiteSox #baseball_ref

If you asked me what the two greatest websites of all-time are, off the top of my head I would say Google.com and Baseball-Reference.com. But that’s just me, you can choose what you like.

Here is a little exercise I did on B-R comparing the performance of two outstanding young Sox pitchers: Eduardo Rodriguez of the Red Sox and Carlos Rodonof the White Sox over the course of their first 50 games…

Can I Connect Any 2 MLB Players From History?

As you may know, I possess a bizarre amount of useless baseball history knowledge. Ever since receiving a gigantic Encyclopedia of Baseball for my 10th birthday in 1992, I have been memorizing statistics, records, and standings. I always want someone to try quizzing me but to no avail. So today, I will quiz myself.

Baseball-Reference.com has a frivolous feature called Oracle of Baseballwhere you…

Hey, I was gonna do that…

As a long-time fan and user of baseball-reference.com, I marvel at how the site keeps growing and growing. Not only is there the latest generation of statistics, but BR has expanded to include minor league, Negro league, and foreign (especially Japanese) data. Not to mention the “Baseball Frivolities and Fun Stuff” section which includes:

Baseball Player Nicknames

Baseball Player Twitter Accounts

Let's start by linking to the profiles of each player ( http://rtme.tv/youk & http://rtme.tv/gonzo ) and thanking Baseball-Reference.com for their amazing wealth of information. Without them, this post would have never went beyond my thought, how much are the Red Sox paying Youkilis?

Looking at these 2 stat lines, I notice that the numbers are very close to be the same. The impact each of these players has on their team is about equal from a offensive standpoint. So why are the Red Sox willing to pay Gonzalez (estimated to get $20m/year) so much more money than Youkilis (currently makes $10m/year)? To this Sauks fan, Youk is more important than Gonzo. He is our team and him and DP embody what the Sauks, Fenway, and Boston are all about.

The 2 stat lines pictured about belong to Youkilis and Gonzalez respectively.

Who do you think is more valable to the Red Sox? Comment below or @reply me on Twitter.
