Vox Populi

I've been reading firejoemorgan for a couple of weeks now. It's a little heavy on the sabrmetrics--some of which make sense, but some of which confuse me as far as the task of getting useful info out of a shitload of monotonic transformations of an original handful of stats--but it does succeed in its mission statement of making me hate Joe Morgan even more than I already did.

It also gave me this useful tidbit on that Maddux-Izturis trade that I hadn't thought of the other day. Guess who has a higher career slugging percentage, Izturis or Carlos Zambrano. Go on, guess. I think the answer will (won't) surprise you.
