What are the factors that have, historically, determined how long into a season the Sox have stayed competitive or how deep of a playoff run they have the potential to enjoy? A partial list would include: starting rotation, bullpen strength, everyday offense, defense,...

Recently, friends and I were wondering if there was a possible way to quantify in terms of dollars exactly how big of a bust Julio Lugo has been. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to work out statistical systems to compare player’s contributions to...
