"So anyway, below is the top 10 list for each team, by which players had the best win percentages when they were in the starting lineup. The data is from 1920 to 2011, and a player needed to make at least 500 starts for the team to be included here. Also included is the number of times the player got hit by a pitch for that team, which is obviously a crucial piece of information."

Important Parts:
"Federal prosecutors on Wednesday dropped all the remaining charges against Barry Bonds, days after a judge upheld the slugger’s conviction on an obstruction of justice count."

"Bonds faces a maximum of 10 years in prison, though federal guidelines recommend a sentence of 15 to 21 months."

6. Barry Zito, San Francisco

He's making $18.5 million, which is outrageous for a No. 5 starter, but that doesn't make him worthless. You know he's good for 190+ innings, which has value, and at this point he projects as a 2 WAR pitcher. Most teams would take that from a fifth starter.

Pretty good write up, wondering if he could return. No talk or mention of a possible collusion though.

Q: FireJoeMorgan.com was obviously was a big part of your life for a while, and you finally got your wish. What'd you think when you heard about it?
A: Well, you know, honestly, it wasn't really my wish. And I think I speak for the other guys who did the site. We never, after a very, very brief amount of time, we realized that we had named our site incorrectly. Because it wasn't really about Joe Morgan. He obviously came to represent a certain kind of person in baseball, a kind of announcer who preferred traditional, old-timey ways to the new-fangled ways. But you know, I've been asked to comment a lot about him being fired in a way that suggests... people assume that I would be gloating or something. And I don't wish any... we never wished any ill favor to the man. We never wanted anything bad to happen to him. That's why it was a terrible name for a website. It really didn't represent what we were trying to do.

This is pretty amazing.

CYBORGS

"The Giants voted 50 full shares to members of the team and other personnel. They also voted 9.89 partial shares and five cash awards, according to a statement from MLB."

New committee will meet at the Winter Meetings. A 16-member electorate, which includes eight former players, four executives and four baseball writers, will do the voting; anyone that receives votes on 75 percent of the ballots will be inducted in the Hall of Fame in July 2011. The results will be announced on Dec. 6 at 10 a.m. ET.

On the ballot: Ted Simmons, Al Oliver, Vida Blue, Tommy John, Ron Guidry, Dave Concepcion, Steve Garvey and Rusty Staub, former manager Billy Martin and former executives Marvin Miller, George Steinbrenner and Pat Gillick.

Good thing Oakland got rid of Mazarro.

Tee Hee. Am interested to to see how this plays out.

"Oh, absolutely, without question," Huff said. "I won a World Series here. I've been in last place my whole life. I won a World Series. The fans are crazy. You'd be an idiot not to want to come back here. I love it. I've been on five different teams. I liked them but I didn't love them. I love this place."

Off to a great start trying to woo him to come to NY. Stay classy Yankee fans.

Beat the Yankees in 7 games after falling back 3 games to 1.

Here's hoping video games are right.

"Huff's wait to reach the playoffs -- spanning 1,479 games since he first arrived in the big leagues in 2000 -- ranked third among active Major Leaguers heading into this October. His wait to come through with a huge hit to help his team win a playoff game is over now, too."

GO VOTE FOR ONE OF THEM!

"I brought the subject up, as I always do with everybody," Selig said at Yankee Stadium on Monday night. "I don't get the feeling that there's a lot of support for it, at least their conversations with me."

Really? No Interest huh?

Matheny all over again but worse. Concussion suffered during the Cardinals/Reds brawl when Johnny Cueto kicked LaRue in the head.

This is a truly sad story.

"It actually began last month, during a casual chat with Giants manager Bruce Bochy. We were kicking around the usual stuff -- until the topic turned to replay. At that point, Bochy said he was surprised that no one at MLB had ever asked the managers what they thought about expanding replay.

"We've talked about it, but there hasn't been a survey," he said. "If there was, I'd be curious what the vote would be. My guess is, a majority would be in favor of it."

Well, we told him, we might be able to help you find out."

Results also included.

In 2007 the mannequin of Lefty had it's left arm stolen. It was recently returned in a box containing a letter and photos from it's journey away from home.

Anger Management?

"Coulibaly could still appear as a line judge or other supporting role, but is unlikely to be given assignments to referee further matches, according to a Friday report from Yahoo! Sports, which cited unnamed sources."
