I heard he's a longtime friend of the Baltimore manager and is interested in working with him.

"Leo Mazzone is worth .55 to .85 runs per game."

So why, then, would the Braves have given permission to the Yankees and Orioles to talk to him?

How do you come up with .55 to.85 rpg?

Re: Don\'t You [censored] Do It Georgey Boy!!
 

Probably comparing ATL team ERA to the NL league average over a period of years. Mazzone is a great pitching coach. One only need to see guys like Jaret Wright, Denny Neagle, Kevin Millwood's numbers on ATL and elsewhere to see this.

Absolutely zero chance he goes anywhere.

For a $8M/3-year contract, he would be a pitching coach of the Chinese national team.

Uh? He lead the AL in ERA this year.

But I agree Mazzone is awesome. COaches don't get into the HoF, players and managers do. But I honestly think when his time comes he should be considered.

his opinion of how a move will affect his HOF chances may just be the thing to make his decision for him.

JC Bradbury compared pitchers pre-/post-mazzone and during the mazzone years and found that, on average, he lowered their ERAs by about half a run.

Of course, it's really hard to get a good read on it with other things affecting ERA (park, defense) but nobody else showed any significant result.

He's as good as ours.

[/ QUOTE ]yup. ATL fans need to stop trying to convince themselves otherwise.

TSC, I asked you in an earlier thread if you would like to make a friendly wager about Mazzone going to the Yankees next year. I didn't see it if you responded then, so I will ask again.

I don't think Mazzone is going anywhere, and I am willing to make a wager to that effect.

[/ QUOTE ]I must have missed it. Want to wager titles?

Our titles on 2p2? That sounds fair.
