Arizona Fall League TTM Requests Update #3
Awhile ago I blogged about the through the mail (TTM) autograph requests I was planning to send off to players during the Arizona Fall League. At the end of the post I stated that I was going to be publishing a blog post every time I received back any autographs. Having received one more TTM autograph requests since my last update, I figured I'd post another update — the final one of this round of autograph requests:
James Ramsey is the Cardinals number ten prospect, and he proved to be worthy of his top ten spot in 2013. Ramsey batted .265 with 16 home runs and 51 RBI's, between High-A and Triple-A, and participated in the Arizona Fall League Fall Stars Game. The Cardinals are looking to move him to the big leagues quickly, as at 24 years old the clock is ticking. But Ramsey hasn't let them down yet, and, therefore, should easily make it to the Majors at some point in 2014.
This is the third and final update of the through the mail autograph requests I sent out to players at the Arizona Fall League in 2013. Though I may receive back one or two in the next few months, I won't be posting an entry on it. I'll begin doing autograph updates next March/April, when I send requests out to players at Spring Training.
Torre, LaRussa and Cox Elected to the Hall of Fame
With around a month remaining until the players' portion of the 2014 Hall of Fame class is announced on January 8th, there's still plenty of time left to debate which players deserve to make it in this time around. (I'll give my take a few days before.)
But while we don't yet know the players who will be elected in 2014, the baseball world found out on Monday that Joe Torre, Tony LaRussa and Bobby Cox will be among those inducted as part of the 2014 class.
Voted in by a unanimous vote of the Expansion Era Committee, Torre, LaRussa and Cox are all very deserving — each winning over 2,000 games in their managerial careers — but that doesn't stop controversy from surrounding the vote. Not controversy that the three shouldn't have gotten in, but that another name or two on the ballot should've been voted in.
The ballot, consisting of twelve of the games' great players, managers, and other baseball figures, included Tommy John, Ted Simmons, Dave Parker, Dave Concepcion, Steve Garvey, Dan Quisenberry, George Steinbrenner, Marvin Miller and Billy Martin, as other candidates for the Hall of Fame besides Torre, LaRussa and Cox. But no one besides the three elected received more than six votes. (The necessary number for election is twelve.)
In my opinion, Marvin Miller and George Steinbrenner should've been elected, as they did a lot for the game of baseball, and were important figures of their time, but in the end, it is what it is. While I disagree with them not getting the votes to be elected, I'm not going to talk about them that much, because I want to spend time discussing the three managers that made it in.
Joe Torre managed a total of 29 seasons, spending time with the Mets, Braves, Cardinals and Dodgers, however, his most memorable years came with the New York Yankees. With the Yankees, Torre led his team to four World Series championships — three straight from 1998-2000. Torre was named Manager of the Year twice in his career, and finishes fifth all time in terms of wins, with 2,326.
Tony La Russa shared his time between the White Sox, Athletic's and Cardinals, managing for a total of 33 seasons. LaRussa was voted Manager of the Year four times, leading his teams to three World Series titles — one with the A's and two with the Cardinals. Winning 100 or more games in a season four times, LaRussa sits third all time in wins, with 2,728.
Bobby Cox managed for 29 seasons, between the Braves and Blue Jays. Cox took the Braves to 14 straight playoff seasons — the one thing that stands out most in my mind — and was a player favorite. Four-time Manager of the Year, Cox led the Braves to a 1995 World Series title — the only one of his career — and finished fourth all time in victories, with 2,504.
I was fortunate enough to have seen two of the three Hall of Fame mangers, manage — Bobby Cox four times, and Joe Torre twice. Though I never witnessed a game that Tony LaRussa managed, I saw him on the field during the 2012 All-Star workouts, before the Home Run Derby, in Kansas City, Missouri. Nearly everyone took the time to talk with LaRussa, who had retired the previous season, and it was an impressive sight to witness, with the obvious respect they had for him.
All three managers are well respected, and are deserving of the Hall of Fame.
Joe Torre, Tony LaRussa and Bobby Cox will be inducted on July 27th, in Cooperstown, NY.
Cabrera and McCutchen Win MVP Award
The Most Valuable Player award was first given out in 1911 to Ty Cobb of the American League and Frank Schulte of the National League. Originally known as the Chalmers award, named after Hugh Chalmers, the award didn't catch on as well as had been hoped, and therefore was discontinued after the 1914 season.
In 1922 the League Awards were established to honor the baseball player in the American League (National League began being recognized in 1924) who provided the greatest all-around service to their club. The winner — who received a medal and cash for winning — was voted on by a committee of eight baseball writers, with a player not being able to win more than once. Like the Chalmers awards, these awards didn't last long, stopping in 1929.
Finally in 1931 the Baseball Writers' Association of America Most Valuable Player award was established, which is the award still given out today.
Sixty-three players who have won the Most Valuable Player award have gone on to the Hall of Fame up until this point — several of those players are still active, however. The current record for most MVP awards is held by Barry Bonds, with seven, but thirty total players have won multiple Most Valuable Player awards in their career.
Voting for the award is fairly straightforward.
Two writers from each city of both the American League and National League make up the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) voters for the Most Valuable Player award, making a total of thirty voters for each league (fifteen teams, with two voters per city). A first place vote earns a player fourteen points, a second place vote gets nine points, a third place vote receives eight points, a fourth place vote is worth seven points, and so on, all the way until tenth place for one point. Once added up, the player with the highest overall total wins.
The 2013 Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player award winners for both the American League and National League were announced Thursday night on MLB Network. Here are the winners, along with my thoughts on each:
Original Pick: Chris Davis
Finalists: Miguel Cabrera, Chris Davis and Mike Trout
Winner: Miguel Cabrera
Thoughts On Miguel Cabrera Winning
Although I was pulling for Mike Trout to win the Most Valuable Player award last season, Miguel Cabrera ended up taking home the honor after having an incredible year in which he won the Triple Crown award. An injury in the last month of this season kept Cabrera from a second straight Triple Crown award, however, it didn't stop him from winning his second straight MVP — something only eleven other players have been able to accomplish.
Receiving a total of 385 points, 23 of the 30 first-place votes, Cabrera was the overwhelming choice by the voters. The runner-up — with five first-place votes and a total of 282 points — Mike Trout, and the third place recipient, Chris Davis — with a single first-place vote netting 232 total points — weren't even close. Although I had Chris Davis winning, I have no issues with Cabrera getting the award. He was very deserving; as was Trout.
Batting .348 with 44 home runs and 137 RBI's, Cabrera put together an amazing season, and in addition is the only player of the three finalists to make the playoffs. Unfortunately, that's a big part of why I feel he won. Davis posted a batting average 62 points lower than Cabrera, but led the majors in both homers and RBI's, with 53 and 138 respectively. Had the Orioles played better as a whole, making it to the playoffs, Davis would likely be the winner.
Instead, Miguel Cabrera takes home the award for the second straight year.
The BBWAA's vote had Mike Trout finishing second, with Chris Davis coming in third.
Original Pick: Paul Goldschmidt
Finalists: Paul Goldschmidt, Andrew McCutchen and Yadier Molina
Winner: Andrew McCutchen
Thoughts On Andrew McCutchen Winning
Anytime a player bats .302 with 36 home runs and 125 RBI's you have to strongly consider them for the Most Valuable Player award. That player, Paul Goldschimdt, was the most deserving of the MVP award in my mind, however, the baseball writers didn't agree. Andrew McCutchen received the honor instead, getting 28 of the 30 first-place votes (Goldschmidt didn't get a single one) for a total of 409 points.
Goldschmidt had to settle for second, with 242 points, just ahead of Yadier Molina, who received the other two first-place votes, earning him a total of 219 points. While Molina had a career year, and is a true leader for the Cardinals, he didn't do enough to win. It came down to a two-man race between Goldschmidt and McCutchen. But after seeing the results of the vote, I suppose it was just a one-man race.
Although McCutchen hit for a .317 batting average with 21 home runs and 84 RBI's — second in the National League in multi-hit games, with 60 — I don't feel he was the most valuable.
I won't spend a lot of time giving my reasons why (if you want to read that, click HERE) but ultimately I feel many people voted for McCutchen for the sole reason that the Pirates made the postseason (for the first time in 21 years) and Goldschmidt's Diamondback's didn't. That's not fair to base your vote on, in my opinion.
There were several other great reasons for McCutchen winning the award besides making the playoffs, but I just feel it should have gone to Goldschimdt, who had 15 more home runs and 41 more RBI's than McCutchen this season.
Also, McCutchen didn't lead the Pirates to the playoffs by himself; it was a team effort. He hit 10 more home runs and drove in 12 more runs last season than he did this year, yet the Buccos finished fourth in 2012, with McCutchen placing third in MVP voting. There's too much inconsistency with the voting "criteria" for me.
In the end, while I don't agree with McCutchen winning, I'm not all that upset that he did; though it may seem that way. He was still deserving despite not having the best stats.
Andrew McCutchen becomes the first Pirates' MVP winner since Barry Bonds in 1992.
The BBWAA's vote had Paul Goldschmidt finishing second, with Yadier Molina coming in third.
Myers and Fernandez Win Rookie of the Year Award
The Rookie of the Year award was first handed out in 1947 to Jackie Robinson, after he broke baseball's color barrier and went on to have a great first season of what would become a Hall of Fame career. After the award was given out to a single player again 1948, it expanded in 1949 to include a player from each league, and has been that way ever since.
Renamed the Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year award in 1987, fourteen players who have won the award have gone on to the Hall of Fame, up until this point, of the 128 players to win it — several of those players are still active, however.
Voting for the award is fairly straightforward.
Two writers from each city of both the American League and National League make up the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) voters for the Rookie of the Year award, making a total of thirty voters for each league (fifteen teams, with two voters per city). A first place vote earns a player five points, a second place vote gets three points, with a third place vote receiving one point. Once added up, the player with the highest overall total wins.
The 2013 Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year award winners for both the American League and National League were announced Monday night on MLB Network. Here are the winners, along with my thoughts on each:
Original Pick: Wil Myers
Finalists: Wil Myers, Chris Archer and Jose Iglesias
Winner: Wil Myers
Thoughts On Wil Myers Winning
It came as no surprise to myself or anyone else around the baseball world that Wil Myers won the 2013 American League Rookie of the Year award. Picking up 23 out of the 30 first-place votes, Myers' 131 points overall led him to a relatively easy win over his competition in Jose Iglesias, who picked up 80 points, and Chris Archer, with his 35 points.
Though all of the candidates had great inaugural seasons, Wil Myers was the best choice and the most deserving for Rookie of the Year. After beginning the season at Triple-A, struggling for a bit of time, Myers was called up to the Majors in June, never looking back.
Batting .293 with 13 home runs and 53 RBI's in just 88 games played, Myers becomes the third player in Rays' franchise history to win the Rookie of the Year award; joining Evan Longoria, from 2008, and Jeremy Hellickson, who won back in 2011.
Wil Myers will undoubtedly be a star player for the Rays for many years to come.
The BBWAA's vote had Jose Iglesias finishing second, with Chris Archer coming in third.
Original Pick: Jose Fernandez
Finalists: Jose Fernandez, Shelby Miller and Yasiel Puig
Winner: Jose Fernandez
Thoughts On Jose Fernandez Winning
Although Shelby Miller had a great season, it came down to Jose Fernandez and Yasiel Puig, in the minds of many, for 2013 National League Rookie of the Year. It the end, the writers' selected Jose Fernandez to win the award, doing so in overwhelming fashion. Fernandez received 26 of the 30 first-place votes, getting a total of 142 points, beating out Yasiel Puig's 95 points and Shelby Miller's mere 12 points.
I was really shocked by the dominance in which Fernandez won, however, he was very deserving.
Going 12-6 with a 2.19 ERA this past season — 9-0 with a 1.19 ERA in home starts — the original plan was for Fernandez to begin 2013 in Double-A, but a few injuries allowed him to make the roster in April. He excelled in his first start, and made the most of his opportunities this past season, truly placing himself over the other candidates.
Fernandez was with his mom and grandmother when he received the news that he had won the award, and it was an emotional scene.
Jose Fernandez is an humble guy who is sure to have a bright career.
The BBWAA's vote had Yasiel Puig finishing second, with Shelby Miller coming in third.
Arizona Fall League TTM Requests Update
Around a month ago I blogged about the through the mail (TTM) autograph requests I was planning to send off to players during the Arizona Fall League. At the end of the post I stated that I was going to be publishing a blog post every time I received back a few autographs, and now that I've successfully gotten back some of the requests I sent I figured I'd go ahead and type this entry up. Of the seventeen total TTM's I sent off, I've received three of them back, with them being from:
C.J. Cron is the Angels' number two overall prospect, and he proved why this past season. Batting .274 with 14 home runs and 83 RBI's to go along with 36 doubles, Cron is well on his way to the Majors, though it may take another season or two. Things are looking very promising for Cron, and it should be interesting to see how he performs next year.
Stephen Piscotty is the Cardinals' number seven prospect, and becomes the first player I've ever had sign a card in purple (magic marker?). Still fairly young, at 22 years old, Piscotty has a good chance at making it to the big leagues. He hit 15 home runs and drove in 59 runs in 2013 to go along with a .295 batting average. Piscotty is a player worth watching down the road.
Addison Russell is the Athletics' number one prospect and the number seventeen overall prospect in all of baseball. Russell participated in the 2013 Futures game, up in New York City, and is sure to see his fair share of Major League All-Star games in his future, assuming he pans out as predicted. Batting .269 with 17 home runs and 60 RBI's this past season, Russell is going to be a special player.
An interesting side note, Addison Russell doesn't normally sign through the mail — telling me he signs around one random thing a week — but he graciously agreed to sign something for me. He truly seems to be a great guy, and I'm going to be posting an interview I did with him sometime over the next month or two. So check back for that.
I still have autograph requests out for Andrew Heaney, Corey Seager, Jorge Bonifacio, Austin Hedges, Kyle Crick, Jorge Soler, Delino DeShields, Jorge Alfaro, Taylor Lindsey, Adalberto Mejia, Kyle Parker, James Ramsey, Kris Bryant and Colin Moran. When/if I get any of those back I'll be sure to post another update. Though, there's no guarantee I'll get any more back at all.
Boston Red Sox Win the World Series In Six Games
For the first time since 1918, the Boston Red Sox have won the World Series Championship in front of their hometown fans, beating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 in game six; four games to two overall. The Red Sox become just the second team in MLB history to win the World Series one season after finishing in last place, joining the 1991 Twins.
Truly incredible when you think about it.
While this was a relatively exciting series, the Cardinals just didn't have what it took to beat the Red Sox, who were extremely hot at the right time of the year. No player on the Sox was hotter than David Ortiz, who hit .688 with two home runs and six RBI's in the series, earning him MVP honors. He also holds the distinction of being the second player in Red Sox history to have won three rings with the team — a true Red Sox legend.
Game six was a pitching rematch of game two, with Michael Wacha and John Lackey on the mound for their respective teams. Wacha would have a very uncharacteristic game, allowing six runs through his 3.2 innings pitched. That's more runs than he had allowed in his previous four postseason starts combined.
The runs came in the third inning, after a good first two innings, on a three-run double by Shane Victorino, and a solo-shot homer by Stephen Drew, along with a few timely hits for a couple more runs, in the fourth. The Sox wouldn't score again, but the six runs are all they would need.
John Lackey was dominant, going 6.2 innings only giving up a single run. He would exit the game in the sixth, with the bases loaded after a couple of hits and a walk, however, his replacement, Junichi Tazawa, would get Allen Craig to ground out to end the threat. That was the nail in the coffin, as the Cardinals wouldn't come close to scoring a run again.
Koji Uehara, who's been fantastic for the Red Sox throughout the regular season and postseason, with a World Series ERA below one, got the final three outs of the game to secure the Red Sox their eighth World Series title in franchise history.
Though my original prediction had the Cardinals winning the World Series in six games — I feel accomplished to have predicted a Red Sox-Cardinals Fall Classic, even though I picked the Red Sox to finish last in my original predictions — I'm alright with the Red Sox winning.
This is just their third Championship in 95 years — going 86 years without a title — so it's not like they're beating out everyone else season after season. When they win they truly have a magical year.
Ask any Red Sox fan or player and they'll tell you this season was just that — magical.
World Series Tied Heading Into St. Louis
Coming into the 2013 World Series the one thing everyone could agree upon, whether you're rooting for the Cardinals or the Red Sox, was that this was going to be a great Fall Classic. Many people all around the baseball world expected a back and forth series, with several predicting a series of six or seven games. It would seem, if things keep up, that people's predictions are going to come true.
But game one didn't turn out to be the pitcher's dual many envisioned.
The Cardinals' Adam Wainwright went up against the Red Sox' Jon Lester, in what was supposed to be a close game. But the Red Sox came out swinging. After loading the bases in the bottom of the first, Mike Napoli, who's been heating up lately, cleared the bases on a double, making it a quick three-run Red Sox lead.
The Sox scored again in the second, off of timely hits. After that, however, neither team would score until the seventh, when David Ortiz — who had been robbed of a grand slam by Carlos Beltran, who was injured on the play, earlier in the game — blasted a home run into the bullpen, tacking on another two runs to extend the lead to seven runs, which would become an eight-run lead in the next inning.
Matt Holliday blasted a homer in the top of the ninth, but it didn't do any good, as the Red Sox had too big of a lead and were able to take game one, 8-1.
The blowout left many people, myself included, scratching their heads and questioning whether this was going to be the series it had been hyped up to be. But doubts were eliminated in game two, as it brought the type of excitement everyone had been waiting for.
Michael Wacha was dominant yet again for the Cardinals, holding the Red Sox hitless through three innings. Jon Lackey was great as well for the Red Sox, but the Cards would strike first in this game, in the fourth, off of a Matt Holliday triple and a Yadier Molina RBI tapper over the pitcher's head. However, the Red Sox would answer back in the sixth, on a two-run home run from (who else?) David Ortiz, which ultimately knocked Wacha out of the game.
But it didn't take long for the Cardinals to regain the lead, as in the seventh, after a walk to David Freese, a Jon Jay single, a double-steal, and a walk to Daniel Descalso, the bases became loaded for Matt Carpenter.
Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly left field, which tied the scored up at two runs. Moments later, on the same play, a high throw in an attempt to pick off Jay at third, gave the Cardinals a one-run lead. Then Carlos Beltran — who had been questionable to even play in this game due to an injury the night before — drove in Descalso, making it a 4-2 Cardinals lead, which is where the game would end.
The Red Sox and Cardinals now head to St. Louis tied at a game apiece. Either team has a chance to win the World Series Championship at Bush Stadium if they can sweep, however, with the talent both teams possess, odds are the winner will be crowned at Fenway Park sometime next week.
This could easily turn out to be a World Series for the history books.
Cardinals – Red Sox: World Series Predictions
One of the most difficult tasks every season is predicting which teams will do well enough throughout the year to earn a spot in the postseason. I had trouble myself predicting the teams from the start of the season that would make it, as I did poorly with my American League and National League predictions. But I've done really well so far with my postseason predictions. I had the Cardinals and Red Sox making the World Series and that's exactly what happened.
A rematch of the 2004 World Series, when the Red Sox swept the Cardinals in four games, this is sure to be one of the best Fall Classics in years. The Red Sox and the Cardinals are very evenly matched and are sure to put on amazing performances throughout the series, which begins on Wednesday night. Both have great pitching staffs, a great lineup and a great bullpen that includes a stellar closer. It will be interesting to watch everything unfold over the coming week or so.
The probable pitchers for games one through seven (five through seven only if necessary*) of the 2013 World Series are as follows:
Game 1: Adam Wainwright (Cardinals) – Jon Lester (Red Sox)
Game 2: Michael Wacha (Cardinals) – Clay Buchholz (Red Sox)
Game 3: Joe Kelly (Cardinals) – John Lackey (Red Sox)
Game 4: Lance Lynn (Cardinals) – Jake Peavy (Red Sox)
Game 5*: Adam Wainwright (Cardinals) – Jon Lester (Red Sox)
Game 6*: Michael Wacha (Cardinals) – Clay Buchholz (Red Sox)
Game 7*: Joe Kelly (Cardinals) – John Lackey (Red Sox)
Keep in mind that those could change, however, based on the way everything seems right now, I have the Cardinals winning the World Series in six games. Here's the way I have things playing out, along with the reasoning to why I have each team winning each particular game:
My pick to win Game 1: Cardinals
Though the World Series is beginning in Boston, I have the Cardinals winning the first game. Adam Wainwright and Jon Lester are both great pitchers, but in the end I feel the Cardinals will get the better of Lester. This is likely to be the best game of the series, as neither teams wants to give up game one; often the pivotal game of the World Series.
My Pick to win Game 2: Cardinals
At just 22 years old, Michael Wacha has been pitching incredibly as of late. He's going up against Clay Buchholz in game two, who began the season on a hot streak but has been hit or miss recently. I see Wacha once again pitching the Cardinals to a win, putting the Red Sox behind two games early on.
My pick to win Game 3: Red Sox
I'm predicting a bounce back game for the Red Sox, as although Joe Kelly has been great all year long, John Lackey will likely be a bit better. In addition, if in fact they're down two games, I see the Red Sox putting on a hitting clinic to win game three. They certainly don't want fall behind by three games in the World Series.
My pick to win Game 4: Red Sox
Once again pulling off a big win to even the series at two games apiece, the Red Sox are going to win game four in my mind. Jake Peavy is going up against Lance Lynn, and the Red Sox are likely to take their win from the night before into game four, where they'll continue their streak to beat Lynn and the Cardinals.
My pick to win Game 5*: Cardinals
On the mound once again for the Cardinals will be Adam Wainwright, with Jon Lester going for the Sox. I have Wainwright pitching a gem of a game. The Cardinals will beat Lester and the Red Sox, on a great hitting and pitching performance, putting them a game over Boston, to push the series to 3-2.
My pick to win Game 6*: Cardinals
I feel Michael Wacha is going to pitch the best game of his career in game six. In my mind, this will be the final game of the World Series. Though the Red Sox are likely to put up a great fight, with amazing performances night after night, I feel the Cardinals will once again become World Series Champions. Unfortunately for them, in my mind, it will come in Boston.
Who do you have winning the World Series? In how many games? Let me know . . . .
My Vote for AL and NL Rookie of the Year
I decided to combine my vote for American League and National League Rookie of the Year (R.O.Y.) into one post, because as hard as I tried to think of a case for several American League players for the award, I couldn't. Though Jose Iglesias and a few other players had decent rookie seasons, I could only manage to make a strong case for the one player that truly deserves the award and will likely win it with overwhelming support: Wil Myers.
The season Myers was able to put together is truly remarkable. While Myers didn't lead all AL rookies in every category, as Mike Trout did last year, — several other players this season beat out Myers in average and home runs — when you combine it all together, no one else has the stats for the award.
Batting .293 with 13 home runs and 53 RBI's in 88 games played, Myers is certainly off to a fast start to his Major League career. A start that should see him receiving the first major award of his career — the Rookie of the Year award.
In the running for National League Rookie of the Year it's a far different story than the American League portion.
Matt Adams, Evan Gattis, Jedd Gyorko, Yasiel Puig, Julio Teheran, Hyu-Jin Ryu, Shelby Miller and Jose Fernandez are all in the mix for NL Rookie of the Year, in my opinion, but in the end, only a few of them made my final cut. Those players being Shelby Miller, Yasiel Puig and Jose Fernandez. (It's somewhat difficult to compare two pitchers to a hitter, but I'll try my best with each case.)
Shelby Miller had a great first season, going 15-9 with a 3.06 ERA. Although he had a decent rookie year, with all of the great candidates for NL Rookie of the Year, Miller didn't quite do enough to receive the award. But while he won't win the R.O.Y, Miller is very likely to win a Cy Young or two at some point down the road in his career.
Yasiel Puig came up in early June and helped turn around an awful Dodgers team. But while Puig was a big reason for their successful second half of the season, he began to slow down towards the end of the year. Therefore, despite batting .319 with 19 homers and 42 RBI's this season, Puig will come up just short of winning the award, in my mind.
Jose Fernandez is the only person standing in the way of a relatively easy win for Yasiel Puig. Able to dominate for the Marlins this season, Fernandez posted a 12-6 record with a 2.19 ERA and opponent batting average of .182 — going 9-0 with a 1.19 ERA in home starts this year.
Fernandez isn't the unanimous pick to win the award by everyone around the baseball world, but his overall dominance at such a young age (21) is enough for me to make him my vote for the National League Rookie of the Year.
My Vote for National League Most Valuable Player
As I stated in my American League MVP blog post, choosing the Most Valuable Player from each league is the most difficult decision of all the major baseball awards handed out at the conclusion of each season. With Rookie of the Year and Cy Young you can look solely at which player had the better stats, however, Most Valuable Player involves a bit more than just stats. While it's important that a MVP winner had a great statistical year, the best offensive player doesn't automatically become the most valuable, in my opinion.
The way I view things, MVP has to come from a team that had a decent year, but that doesn't necessarily mean their team had to make the playoffs. Contrary to what many believe, I feel the Most Valuable Player award needs to go to a player on a team that helped their team win the most, regardless of a postseason appearance. Remove them from the lineup and the team would be nowhere near the same.
Therefore, after considering the stats and going over a few other of my "requirements", I narrowed down my top candidates for National League MVP to Freddie Freeman, Paul Goldschmidt, Andrew McCutchen and Yasiel Puig.
Every single one of those players had a great season, however, I feel McCutchen can quickly be knocked off the list. While he had a good year, McCutchen wasn't the only reason the Pirates made the postseason for the first time in over twenty years. Other players on the team made a big impact as well. Last season McCutchen batted 10 points higher, blasted 10 more home runs and drove in 12 more runs than he did this year, yet the Pirates finished fourth in their division — further proving my point.
Of the three remaining candidates, in Goldschmidt, Freeman and Puig, as much as I feel Puig made an incredible impact, and initially had him as my vote up until a few days ago, I thought the better of picking him. But that's not to knock what he did this season. Batting .319 with 19 homers and 42 RBI's in 104 games, Puig came up in June and helped completely turn around a struggling Dodgers team, taking them from 7.5 games back of first upon his arrival, to winning their division by eleven games. The impact he made is vastly evident, but it wasn't quite enough, when you take the time to really think about it.
In the end, I went with Paul Goldschmidt for National League Most Valuable Player, despite the fact that the Diamondback's missed the playoffs.
Goldschmidt had an incredible year, leading all of the National League in home runs (36) and RBI's (125), to go along with a batting average of .302. The D-back's didn't make the postseason, but Goldschmidt came up big in key spots all throughout the entire season to give his team a great chance to win. Therefore, when choosing between Freddie Freeman — even though the Braves made it past the regular season — and Paul Goldschmidt, I had to go with the D-back's first baseman — the difficult but logical choice.

Cosmo unveils new product addressing major unmet need in colonoscopies targeted for launch in early 2015 Lainate, Italy - June 3, 2014 - Cosmo Pharmaceuticals S.p.A. (SIX: COPN) today presents its new product SIC 8000 at the Jefferies Global Health Care Conference in New York. SIC stands for Submucosal Injectable Composition and allows an easier and faster removal of polyps/adenomas/early cancers during colonoscopies. Colon Cancer is one of the four most frequent cancers in the world. It is believed that all colon cancers were previously polyps which then mutate to adenomas and subsequently full cancer. Of all cancers, colon cancer can be most reduced by early diagnosis, if polyps are detected and removed early on. During colonoscopy, endoscopists strive to identify all polyps and remove those potentially dangerous. Removal of polyps can be challenging, especially if the polyp is flat or positioned in difficult areas. Endoscopists have therefore constantly been looking for a device that would lift the polyp, making its removal easier and thus reducing the risk of colon perforation. SIC 8000 is injected during colonoscopy under the polyp. It creates a lasting cushion elevating the polyp thus separating it from the underlying colonic wall. In order to allow better recognition of tissues and polyp margins and diminish colon perforation risk SIC 8000 is additionally dyed with Methylene Blue MMX®. SIC 8000 is classified as a medical device with a very short regulatory approval path. Cosmo expects therefore to be able to launch this product in North America and the EU in H1 2015. Currently, no FDA-approved products are available for such purpose. Cosmo believes that the availability of a new, long-lasting, FDA-approved product will cover a significant unmet need, greatly improving effectiveness and safety of polyp removal. Approximately, 32 million colonoscopies are performed every year in the USA & EU. Polyps/adenomas/cancerous lesions are found in approximately 20% of all colonoscopies and up to 35% of these lesions may require removal with a sub-mucosal injectable composition. Alessandro Della Chà, CEO, commented: "Cosmo works hand-in-hand with some of the leading KOLs in endoscopy and together we specifically target unmet needs. This is why I believe SIC 8000 will be warmly welcomed by endoscopists, as it will make their life easier. I also see the opportunity of the combination between Methylene Blue MMX® and SIC 8000. Cosmo will help: on one hand, to identify precancerous lesions with Methylene Blue MMX®; on the other hand, to remove them with SIC 8000. This should greatly assist endoscopists in their quest for colon cancer reduction at the lowest possible cost. I am proud that all this has been developed in-house".

The Ledbury Spread Collar
Mother-of-pearl with tension threading to ensure buttons stay fastened for the life of the shirt.
Italian woven two-ply cotton poplin. A perfect year-round cloth made from long staple yarn that responds well to vibrant color dyes. Fabric creates a cool an comfortable shirt that is not easily wrinkled.
Single Button Barrel Cuff
Based on 4 reviews
After surveying my closet of shirts in different variations of blue, I decided to order this shirt and have to say the pictures don't do it justice. Beautiful color and feel to the fabric. My first order/shirt from Ledbury and I'll be back for more.
This shirt looks even better in person than on the website. There is a subtle depth to the weave that really makes it pop, and the fit is of course a Ledbury best. The wife, already an admitted Ledbury-holic, exclaimed "ooh! I _really_ like this one!" Gents, you won't be disappointed.
Great fabric (which my wife actually enjoys ironing), and as the description says, vibrant color. The only shirt I wear that strangers have complimented multiple times.
Amazing material and vibrant colors. Great shirt and very sharp with a solid colored purple knit tie.

Music from the best times in Brazil.
gostei do teu blog
e bem informativo
continua assim
tenha uma boa noite!!!!
This was great. João Gilberto was always my favorite, in part because I could understand the lyrics when he sang. Hell, I can't understand half the lyrics to popular music in English let alone Portuguese. I have several of his recordings from the 1960's and still play them.
Another singer I also loved when I was in Brazil was Wilson Simonal, but I understand because of his suspected involvement in some political activities, he lost favor with the public. I attended one of his shows in Rio.
I consider myself lucky to have attended a concert with Eliz Regina. It was held in a smallish auditorium, so it was a rather intimate setting rather than a big stadium-type arena.
And, while I was in Brazil, Chico Buarque de Hollanda recorded "Carolina" —I was given about 6 recording of that when I left my PC site.

Kazimir Malevich
From Wikiquote
Kazimir Severinovich Malevich (23 February 1878 – 15 May 1935) was a painter, art theoretician, pioneer of geometric abstract art and one of the most important members of the Russian avant-garde. He was also the founder of the art movement Suprematism.
|This artist article is a stub. You can help Wikiquote by expanding it.
Quotes of Kazimir Malevich[edit]
- The square is not a subconscious form. It is the creation of intuitive reason. The face of the new art. The square is a living, regal infant. The first step of pure creation in art.
- "From Cubism and Futurism to Suprematism: The New Realism in Painting" (November 1916)
- By "Suprematism" I mean the supremacy of pure feeling in creative art. To the Suprematist the visual phenomena of the objective world are, in themselves, meaningless; the significant thing is feeling.
- The Non-Objective World: The Manifesto of Suprematism (1926), trans. Howard Dearstyne [Dover, 2003, ISBN 0-486-42974-1], part II: Suprematism (p. 67)
- When, in the year 1913, in my desperate attempt to free art from the ballast of objectivity, I took refuge in the square form and exhibited a picture which consisted of nothing more than a black square on a white field. The critics and, along with them, the public sighed, "Everything which we loved was lost. We are in a desert...Before us is nothing but a black square on a white background! But the desert is filled with the spirit of non-objective feeling..."
- The Non-Objective World: The Manifesto of Suprematism (1926), trans. Howard Dearstyne [Dover, 2003, ISBN 0-486-42974-1], part II: Suprematism (p. 68)
- I have not invented anything, only the night I have sensed, and in it the new which I called Suprematism.
- Quoted in Walter Hess, Dokumente zum Verständnis der modernen Malerei (Hamburg, 1956), p. 98
Quotes about Kazimir Malevich[edit]
- At present there is an extremely exaggerated formation of groups [students on the School of Art in Vitebsk, founded by Chagall around 'trend'; there are 1. young people following Malevich and 2. young people following me. We both belong to the left-wing artistic movement, although we have different ideas about ends and means.
- Quote of Chagall, in his letter to Pavel Davidovitch Ettering, 2 April, 1920, as quoted in Marc Chagall - the Russian years 1906 – 1922, editor Christoph Vitali, exhibition catalogue, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, 1991, p. 73

Twins notebook: Minnesota's pitchers endure rough outing vs. Baltimore
Twins pitchers reverted to their 2013 form in Wednesday night's one-sided setback.
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Through the first week of spring training games, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire had been relatively happy with how his pitchers had looked.
That changed in a hurry Wednesday night.
Minnesota's collection of pitchers was hit hard and hit often by the Baltimore Orioles, surrendering 12 hits in an 11-5 loss at Hammond Stadium. It didn't help that the Twins' defense was far from sharp behind the pitchers, yielding four unearned runs in a five-run sixth inning.
"We hadn't seen that too much," Gardenhire said following the loss.
Right-hander Mike Pelfrey made his second start of the spring and went 2 1/3 innings. As he continued to focus on working at a quicker pace, Pelfrey cruised through two scoreless innings before allowing a run in the third on an RBI double by Quintin Berry. That was the last batter Pelfrey faced in his second outing of the spring. Berry later came around to score, with Pelfrey charged with his second run of the night.
"I think the big thing tonight is I didn't throw enough strikes," Pelfrey said. "I didn't hit (Kurt) Suzuki's glove too often. I was kind of all over the place. It's early. Physically, I felt fine."
Relievers Jared Burton and Glen Perkins both gave up runs out of the bullpen. Burton served up a three-run home run to catcher Johnny Monell in the third inning after he replaced Pelfrey, while Perkins' lone run came in the fourth inning on a fielder's choice.
Left-hander Scott Diamond, battling for a spot in the Twins' starting rotation, was on the wrong end of Baltimore's five-run sixth inning. The Twins' defense certainly didn't do Diamond any favors. Catcher Josmil Pinto was charged with a passed ball that allowed Ryan Flaherty to advance to third. Flaherty later scored on an error by second baseman Jorge Polanco as he overthrew shortstop Eduardo Escobar on what would have been an inning-ending double play.
The inning continued to spiral out of control after Steve Pearce hit a two-run double to left to push Baltimore's lead to 11-3. Diamond also walked a pair of batters in the inning, which didn't help his own cause.
"We didn't catch the ball," Gardenhire said. "Our pitcher walked a couple of guys, and then all hell breaks loose. It just got a little ugly out there."
The one bright spot for the Twins' pitching staff Wednesday was right-hander Michael Tonkin, who threw two scoreless innings of relief. Tonkin struck out two batters and did not allow a baserunner in the seventh or eighth innings.
Tonkin made his major league debut last year with the Twins and allowed just one earned run in 11 1/3 innings. More performances like Wednesday's outing could help Tonkin make a case to land on the 25-man roster.
"Tonkin threw the living [heck] out of the ball," Gardenhire said. "It was nice to see."
Twins confirm they made offer to Santana: Minnesota assistant general manager Rob Antony confirmed Wednesday that the Twins did indeed extend an offer to pitcher Johan Santana, who ultimately signed with the Orioles on Tuesday.
The 34-year-old Santana, who spent his first eight major league seasons in Minnesota and won the American League Cy Young Award in 2004 and 2006, is trying to come back from major shoulder surgery. He's expected to miss at least the first month of the regular season, but that didn't deter several teams -- including the Twins -- from expressing interest in the left-hander.
"We had conversations, but they had to make their decision on what they were looking for and what they wanted to do," Antony said. "We had some interest and expressed our interest. We talked to him. He clearly got more money, I'll tell you that much."
Santana's deal with the Orioles will reportedly pay him a guaranteed $3 million for the 2014 season if he makes Baltimore's 40-man roster and can earn more if he finds his way on the 25-man roster.
Antony said the likely scenario for Santana will be to spend the month of March getting in shape while using April as a spring training of sorts before pitching in the minors in May. Santana's contract reportedly has an opt-out clause if he's not on the major league roster by May 30, but Antony said that part of the negotiations wasn't a hangup for the Twins.
"We had good conversations with his agent," Antony said. "As with any free agent, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
Santana did not pitch at all in the majors in 2013, and he also missed the 2011 season. He threw a no-hitter with the Mets in 2012 and went 6-9 with a 4.85 ERA that season, his last in the majors.
Guerrier expected to debut March 11: Twins reliever Matt Guerrier is fighting for a roster spot this spring, but he still hasn't pitched in a game this spring after having arm surgery late last year.
That should change next week, as the right-hander will likely make his spring debut on March 11 against Tampa Bay. Antony said Guerrier threw live batting practice on Tuesday and will likely throw a few bullpen sessions before he's ready to pitch in a game.
Guerrier, 35, spent the 2004-10 seasons with the Twins before pitching for the Dodgers and Cubs. He's one of several former Twins hoping to break camp with the big league club. Antony doesn't think Guerrier's late start will necessarily hurt his chances of making the 25-man roster.
"If he starts on the 11th, he'll have about 17, 18 days," Antony said. "He should have plenty of opportunity to get into games."
Guerrier was traded from the Dodgers to the Cubs last July. In 49 combined relief appearance in 2013, he had a 4.01 ERA with a WHIP of 1.406.

A Madison police spokesman said Saturday there were few, if any, arrests and not many citations issued for violations related to the annual block party on Mifflin Street.
Joel DeSpain said extra officers assigned for the day were being sent home because things were so quiet.
An earlier NewsWatch item posted briefly had erroneously linked to a Madison television station's report of more than 300 arrests at the event in a past year.
Madison police announced last month that they would clamp down severely on any illegal activities spilling from the block party, historically held on the first Saturday in May.
University of Wisconsin-Madison police also reported there no problems associated with The Revelry, a first-year, student-organized music festival touted by some as an alternative celebration to the alcohol-heavy Mifflin St. affair.

It is really difficult to generalize. Some of the designs were the same, but after WW2 the Zeiss Jena production facilities were decimated by the Russians. The Western company had to start from scratch. Both companies had optics made in other factories in both the GDR and West Germany. In the early period after WW2 Carl Zeiss lenses from west Germany were not necessarily made by Carl Zeiss. Much later on the 'Jena' label became something of a trademark that was stuck onto things that were not necessarily made in Carl Zeiss Jena. Similarly, some optics from CZ west Germany were made... 'elsewhere'.
Bottom line is all CZ optics are good designs, usually they had good quality control. West Germany quality control was usually better than the later period in the GDR, but you pay for it. But even GDR QC was usually much better than the Ukranian or Russian lenses.
As for grease... the communists seem to have a problem with lubricants! My Sonnar was a bit loose and sloppy. I sent it to a German technician for servicing and it came back silky smooth and tight.

For entrepreneurs, "know your money" means understanding financial statements. Many business owners treat them as a necessary evil only useful for loan applications or tax returns, but financial statements can also provide operational information to entrepreneurs that take the time to learn how to read them.
The two basic financial statements are the balance sheet and the income statement, sometimes called a profit and loss statement. The balance sheet shows the company's financial position at one specific point in time. The income statement shows the income and expenses of the company for a period of time.
The balance sheet includes assets (what the company owns) and liabilities and equity (what the company owes). Assets equal liabilities plus equity, and both assets and liabilities are further divided into current and noncurrent items.
Current assets include cash, receivables, inventory and other current assets like customer notes and prepaid expenses. These are assets that are expected to be converted to cash within the next year.
Noncurrent assets are the fixed assets. That is, property and equipment, and other assets that are not expected to be converted to cash within the next year.
Current liabilities are the amounts the company owes to others within the next year and include payables, accrued expenses, and the portion of long-term debt due and payable within the next year. Noncurrent liabilities include loans and leases owed to others along with amounts borrowed from the owners that are not included in equity. Equity or net worth is equal to the total of assets minus liabilities.
It is the amount owners have paid into the company plus the net income earned for all years the company has operated.
The balance sheet can provide useful information like how efficiently the company is using its resources (turnover), how easily the company's resources can be converted into cash to pay creditors (liquidity), and the degree of financial risk the company or its creditors face (solvency).
In turn, the income statement shows how profitable the company is. It is typically prepared in steps showing income first, then deducting direct costs of sales to arrive at gross profit, then deducting other selling and general expenses to determine the net income, or profit (or loss) of the company for a period of time.
Various profit percentages can be derived directly from the income statement. Return on assets and return on equity are two other ratios that provide how well the company is using its resources to produce more income.
Learn to understand not only your financial statements but also the operational information they provide. Design your financial systems to assist you in intelligent decision making and you will know your money. From there, the sky's the limit.

For those that want to get firefox 3 working on xdsl. Jason from the dsl forums has kindly compiled the nessesary tools.
First get firefox 3 here
when it's downloaded untar it (go into emelfm as root and double click it). Transfere the fiefox folder inside to the directory of your choice.
Second, go to the mydsl tool -> testing and install libc62.3.2-22sarge6.dsl and gtk+-2.12.9.uci. You will then need to run the gtk2 script in the mydsl menu. You can set gtk2 as permanent on a loopback/native install by right clicking on the mydsl icon and using the uci tool.
now go into the new firefox folder and run the firefox flie by issuing a command or just double clicking it in emelfm.
You can make a desktop icon as described further up in this thread.
So far I've been testing it out, and it runs pretty well. But unfortunately doesn't run to well with flash 18.104.22.168 which is the fast flash player which can be used with firefox2gtk2. But anyway here's the instrutions for those who want it.

MORE THAN AN APP – A COMPLETE EMERGENCY MEDICAL RECORDS SYSTEMDesigned with Doctors & EMTs, E-mergency helps save lives by getting your emergency medical records (EMR) to Emergency Responders instantly - while it notifies your loved ones and medical contacts with your GPS location. E-mergency is a complete EMR system that protects you, your family, or groups, with: • Android (& iPhone) apps (more apps coming)• GPS notification system • Browser-viewable backup EMR website(s) – in case of phone failure• Easily-managed Account site (you, family, group) • Custom printable "EMT-alert" cards • PII-free, HIPAA compliant securityFREE APPS, PAID ACCOUNTS – WHY?E-mergency is cloud-distributed & works on Androids, iPhones & any Internet-enabled phone, pad, or computer. A single Account protects you, your family, or a group – so it makes no sense to charge you for every app. Instead, we charge once for your Account – and you can have as many apps on as many phones as you like.The free E-mergency app contains a demo, plus a link towww.myE-mergency.com where you set up your medical records, contacts, & print your Alert Cards. Your Account costs $8.95/year plus a one-time setup of .95 for each additional member. There's no limit to the members you can have. NOW - you can help support medical research - plus SAVE $1 - when you click the special purchase code at: www.myE-mergency.com WE'RE HERE TO HELP: HAVE A CONCERN…CONTACT USThis five-star review got it right:"Absolutely wonderful app, great customer service...thank u for calling me back promptly, answering my questions and giving me even more helpful tips!"We respond to our customers quickly & go overboard to help, even calling customers to walk them thru difficulties.Also, if anyone reports a problem with the app, we check it out and fix it (if necessary) fast. So if you have a difficulty; please ask us about it before resorting to downgrading reviews. We're happy to help!We've had reviews downgrading E-mergency because:• we have a free app, but charge for your Account - although we spell that out up front. • we didn't load on one person's Droid X – we checked it out and we loaded fine on the DX. • someone "couldn't load" themselves – although we have lots of users who have had no problem setting E-mergency up. Bottom line, we're here to help, so please ask us first! E-MERGENCY, the COMPLETE SYSTEMIn an emergency EMTs arrive knowing nothing about you or your loved ones. So they're operating in the dark, risking dangerous medical errors. With E-mergency, EMTs find your alert card, click the heart icon on your phone, and immediately access your – and your loved ones - vital information, medical allergies, medications…everything they need for informed treatments that avoid medical errors.Meanwhile, E-mergency notifies your contacts of the incident with your GPS location. So your loved ones can find you – or you can find them – fast.E-mergency provides double protection - a backup website in case your phone is broken or lost. EMTs access your E-mergency EMR site on their phones or laptops. Because you control Account access with your password, there's no Personally Identifiable Information (PII) associated with your records - E-mergency is immune to medical ID theft and HIPAA compliant. E-mergency is the complete personal emergency medical system with everything you need for your, your family's, or your group's safety in a medical emergency.Download E-mergency and watch the demo for free.

How much to install a new stereo the the cost of a new stereo
March 16, 2013.
March 16, 2013.
You need to call an installer in your area, ask about their labor rates, also see if they will give you an estimate for the overall job. I did a quick web search on labor rates for stereo installing. Those rates are all over the place, from 60 bucks an hour to around 30 bucks an hour.
