The Angels do not get on base much, and they haven't hit for all that much power of late. I am a stat-guy. So I believe that an offense needs to do these things to score enough runs. There is only so much that can happen as a result of "hit and runs" and taking the extra base. Now, taking the extra base is great, and often overlooked--as is baserunning in general. But a team must get on base enough, in order to score enough.
The Abreu acquisition was great. For that amount of money, the team put aside their philosophy of having only players who can play defense, and sacrificed "it" for a little offense. There is no risk in signing Abreu, and he should still hit for average, get on base, and flash enough power to make him a quality all-around player.
Could Jon Lester regress?
One of the better stories of the 2008 season was the maturation of Jon Lester into a pitcher very much to be reckoned with.
There are three pressing questions when attempting to evaluate Lester's chances for 2009: control, workload and xFIP.
Fire Brand takes a look at each component and attempts to answer the question.
