Today's links were discovered while I drove around in circles:
• A
whole book, really? Looks like a whole lot of nothing, to me.
• On the other hand, this one looks pretty good. I think I know what I'll be reading next week.
• Bay Bridge Baseball's Jeff Fletcher looks at Matt Holliday's road performance (as a Rockie) and winds up with a healthy note of optimism for A's fans.
• Another -- and perhaps better -- way of looking at strikeouts.
• As you probably heard, Billy Werber died last week. FanGraphs' Eric Seidman recently spent some time with Werber and has now posted some of the last extended interviews Werber gave.
• You think Toronto's Travis Snider is going to tear up the American League this year? You'd better read this.
• How many innings will Joba Chamberlain pitch this season? If you believe in the wisdom of the crowd, he'll pitch 143 innings.
• Nerd Alert: Derek Carty compares various measures of BABiP for hitters. Esoteric? Sure. A necessary component of any sophisticated projection? Yup.
