Halftime Analysis Part 2: What others say
posted in 2007 season, bunt singles |(See Part 1)
You’ve heard what I have to say about the first and second half. Here’s a look at what others say in a special edition of Bunt Singles
NBX Sports Action Blog: NBX noticed Detroit’s strong offense and thinks if the run prevention improves, the Tigers will be hard to beat.
MLB.com: Jason Beck looks behind at the first half and Tom Singer looks foward.
Detroit Tigers Weblog: Bilfer sees $5m wasted by the Tigers in injuries and bad decisions, but thinks it’s a good sign the Tigers are in first place anyway. He also looked at run distributions.
Detroit Tiger Tales: Lee looks at how the Tigers compare with other contender in several statistical categories you won’t find elsewhere.
D-Town baseball: Eric notes the Tigers schedule grows more difficult in the second half.
SI.com: Joe Lemire grades the AL Central teams. He gave the Tigers a B+. SI the magazine, meanwhile, thinks the Angels will win the World Series. Give them points for consistency, at least. Lemire’s grade seems pretty fair to me.
Baseball Prospectus (free): John Perralto looked at what to expect in the second half. He wonders if Curtis Granderson will get a cool nickname if he keeps up his triples pace.
The Hardball Times: It looks at first half overperformers and underperformers. If you’re looking for dark clouds, there’s a number of overperformers. But maybe not everyone having a great season will cool off, it says.
Nate Robertson’s Gum Time: This is about 2 weeks ago now, but Nate ‘wrote’ about the upcoming midterm.
The Wayne Fontes Experience: Al hands out midterm grades by player.
Inside Edge: A scouting service posts its grades. (Hat tip David in Bilfer’s comments)
