    Ichiro was like a modern day Ty Cobb. A reporter once told Cobb he couldn't hit HRs so Cobb hit something like 5 HRs in 3 games then went back to his contact hitter ways just to prove a point.
    Yeah, I don't think he was a power hitter by any means...but he sacrificed extra bases for overall greater production. I just like his approach to the game. Played 162 games three times, every other time was 157+ when no major injury. Owned it. Styled.

    Should Ichiro have hit homers?

    Odds are that Ichiro’s 3,000th major league hit — like his first and his 1,000th — will be a single; only 15 percent of his hits this season have gone for extra bases. We know, though, that there’s more oomph in there. As ESPN’s Tommy Tomlinson wrote in a recent profile, “In batting practice, Ichiro is the Babe. He parks pitch after pitch into the right-field stands. A few land in the upper deck.” That description came on the heels of an endorsement from Marlins hitting coach Barry Bonds, who became the latest in a long line of awed observers who’ve claimed that Ichiro could win the Home Run Derby if he wanted to. Tomlinson also tells a tantalizing story from Ichiro’s first spring training, when Mariners manager Lou Piniella, doubting the efficacy of Ichiro’s slappy approach, told him to pull the ball. The next time up, Tomlinson says, Ichiro “jacked a home run into the right-field bullpen.” It was the spiritual sequel to the time Ty Cobb successfully swung for the fences for a single series, just to prove a point.

    For good reason. That was excellent analysis and he has a nice style.

    I’ve listened to Effectively Wild, his podcast, for five or six years, I think. Maybe even longer.

    Did you see Dave Cameron got picked up by the Padres?

    Cistulli by the Blue Jays, I believe. And Jeff Sullivan by the Rays.

    Teams are mining Fangraphs.

    They do good work. I think they were overshadowed a little by Prospectus because of history, but Prospectus ran into some hard times the last two years. They still put out quality content, but they were having trouble with ownership. A team of their writers bought it this offseason. I want to say Brett Sayre is one of them.

    Yeah, Sayre is President/CEO now, so hopefully that changes some of their fortunes.

    Eno was part of the Athletic pilfer. He’s excellent, as well.

    Going back and reading some 2000's content, that was really the time to buy. Now they are the mainstream.

    I don’t disagree. The last owner, not sure who it was, was basically just going to let the site die. Couldn’t pay the writers or the bills.

    Which explains why Hamilton, despite all his speed, has a career that is hanging by a thread. Running at superhuman speeds is nice but if you can't hit, it won't work. Anyone seen Anthony Gose lately?
    I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
