Way back in the 20th century, Bill James wrote the first essential book about baseball managers. Chris Jaffe has just written the second.
- Rob Neyer, ESPN.com
From now on, whenever I have a question about a manager, Jaffe's book will be the first and last one I reach for.

John Brattain Memorial Fund

The Hardball Times has set up a memorial fund for John Brattain's family. He left behind a wife and two teenage daughters.

Four years ago, I found from personal experience how generous the online community can be to its own in their hour of need. I am now literally begging you to be even more generous than you were to me.

2009 World Series Run Values Through Game Five

I figured today’s off day would be a good chance to look at who’s contributed what so far in the World Series. I still don’t know of any place that’s tracking play by play defense, so I’m just going to look at the offense and pitching so far.

Player	PA	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	BB	SO	HBP	SB	CS	AVG	OBP	SLG	BR	BRAA

BR: LInear weights batting runs (not position-adjusted).
BRAA: Batting runs above average (where average is the overall 2009 WS performance).

I still maintain that Chase Utley is a bad ass, regardless of his thoughts on grooming. It will be nice to have Hideki Matsui back in the lineup for Game 6.
