Nate Silver on the Rays transition

[RVAbird]

Nate Silver takes a look at the great leap forward for the Rays from 2007 to 2008, particularly in terms of defensive efficiency and rational decisions.

Look for the Rays to add Fuentes from COL perhaps before the All Star break. It sounds really close.

Good article.

In the list of DER transformations, the '91 Braves are 4th. They opted for D over bat at SS, and added a few guys who played just-well-enough. Their pitching got all the credit, but it wasn't just that...

That is a very good article.

I have to admit that I scratched my head when they traded Delmon Young for Matt Garza. But so far, it has worked out for them. Kudos to TB.
