He's as good as ours.

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.

Our titles on 2p2? That sounds fair.

[/ QUOTE ]deal.

"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?

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.

If this is anywhere near accurate, Leo Mazzone is worth as much as A-Rod, perhaps more. And this guy has been doing it for 10 years.

TSC, my point about the push is that I believe you were betting that he went to NY, and I was betting that he stayed. So neither of us was right.

However, if you have a title in mind for me, feel free to get a mod to change it.

naw, it was a push. I was thinking he was going to NY, and you didn't think he was going anywhere.
