Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – December 6, 2013
Steve Mitchell-USA TODAY Sports
Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I wonder why off season strategies need to be so difficult for teams.
The Mariners can get a decent second baseman without spending a quarter of a billion dollars.
The Diamondbacks could have a power hitting team if they didn’t trade Justin Upton.
And the Red Sox should look at 2014 as a rebuilding year while secretly trying to woo Clayton Kershaw.

@sullybaseball lol. U do realize the Yankees are going to be much better than they were last year. Don’t you?

A strange conversation on Twitter with a Yankee fan made me wonder what ever happened to accountability in the Bronx. And I also wonder why everyone is so quick to make excuses for Brian Cashman.
This is not me being a smug Red Sox fan trashing the Yankees. If I were a Yankee fan, I’d be furious right now at the state of the team.

The Nationals want DC to pay for a new roof? The Nats should be more worried about paying for a deeper roster!
If they emulate the Red Sox and Cardinals, they should have a great 2014.

While reading through the book Billy Ball by Billy Martin (and Phil Pepe), I stumbled across an interesting passage.
Evidently Billy Martin and I had similar ideas of how to set up a batting order… one where common sense triumphs of conventional wisdom.
I recorded today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast next to a swimming pool.

It is important to be negative and to consolidate our hate. Brian McCann is my least favorite player and he’s a Yankee! Hooray! And the Diamondbacks continue being phony tough.

It is Episode Number 400 of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast! As I reached that big number, I think about some other baseball numbers that we may never see passed.
And I share why I think someone will have back to back no hitters and pass Joe DiMaggio’s hitting streak.

Sure there is some East Coast Bias.
It might not be as strong as you would think. And it may also be somewhat justified.

Both stink. The White Sox have hope. The Cubs have a long term rebuilding… REALLY long term.

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I pay tribute to Tom Seaver on his 69th birthday.
The man who meant so much to the Mets kept being traded or drafted away from the team. And actually could have been the latest in the line of Dodger greats.
And lest we forget, he was also one of my favorite announcers ever.

The Manager of the Year Award went to Terry Francona and NOT John Farrell.
I did not agree with the results but as a Red Sox fan, I’m not going to get worked up about it. Francona winning was similar to Morgan Freeman winning the Oscar for Million Dollar Baby and NOT The Shawshank Redemption. The analogy makes sense. Trust me.
That and also Ervin Santana’s contract demands on today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.

Today’s episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast is the second part of my conversation with A’s relief pitcher Sean Doolittle.
I took questions from some of my Oakland A’s fan friends and passed them along to Sean.
And along the way, we got to the bottom of the meaning of a unicorn and the identity of a juggler. It all makes sense.

Today on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast, I review the finalists for the off season awards and give a good long look at the results of Who Owns Baseball (WOB.)
WOB was my great experiment to try and track players value based upon how they became the big performer of individual days, taking in account stats and the significance of the game.
Four of the final names very well might line up with the real awards.
But why are Matt Moore and R. A. Dickey there? Is that a flaw in WOB? Or is it a flaw in US?
The final tally for Who Owns Baseball can be found here.
