	Larry Mahnken - Wiki Gonzalez
		Larry Mahnken is a writer for The Hardball Times, publisher of the Replacement Level Yankees Weblog and a frequent poster at Baseball Think Factory, especially in the Game Chatters.
		Larry's foreskin could have been used as the tarp at Busch Stadium on October 13, 1985, in which case he would to this day be known as the dckh*d who ran over Vince Coleman.
		Larry left Baseball Think Factory in September, 2005 because certain posters were consistently infuriating him, and it was detrimental to his mental health to get so angry so often.

	The Sports Retort: Yankees, Red Sox and the Wild Card (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Larry Mahnken and Ben Jacobs of the Hardball Times present an entertaining exchange on the Yankees and Red Sox, and whether injuries can keep them from making the playoffs.
		Mahnken writes that the wild card isn't fair, even though it benefited the Yankees in 1996 and 2000, because it further decreases the chances of the team with the best regular season winning the World Series.
		However, Mahnken may be on to something when he suspects that the poplarity of the wild card system has more to do with fans wanting to be entertained and less to do with their demand for fair competition.

		Larry shows how the White Sox and Astros are two of the most under-represented teams in the World Series, and how long we might be waiting for the Yankees to win their next title.
		Larry's none too happy with the news that the Yankees might not be pursuing Carlos Beltran, after all.
		Larry offers his opinion on whether the records of the past decade should be discounted if the players who set them used steroids.

		Larry Mahnken isn't your typical Jack McDowell writer, he's a regular contributer to BTF and an analytical Yankee blog (the name of which I forget).
		Either Mahnken is a regular reader ("lurker") here, or else he was alerted that his article was being discussed here, but he didn't just "bring" it here.
		Also, Larry (or "Larry" as you call him) wasn't arguing that the Yanks are acting inappropriately or are bad for baseball or anything of the sort.

	The Sports Retort: 2004 DIPS (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Larry Mahnken of the Replacement Level Yankees Weblog is posting DIPS statistics for the 2004 season.
		DIPS attempts to abstract from BABIP by calculating a simulated ERA with a league average batting average on balls in play given the pitcher's park-adjusted walk, strikeout, and homerun rates.
		Just remember, there's no claim that pitchers in general have no control over hits on balls in play, just established major league pitchers (i.e., the ones good enough to pitch lots of innings at a major league level).

	Futility Infielder • AROUND THE BASES
		Mahnken did a good bit of research on the issue; most importantly, he highlighted the fact that ESPN's Buster Olney didn't even define the stat correctly, something which everybody else (myself included) missed.
		Commented Mahnken at the newly reconstituded Baseball Primer: "As for dividing by outs in opportunities, it's the only way the stat is similar to what Olney listed.
		Mahnken concludes his article by trying to point out the fallacy of some offhand comments that Yankee announcers Jim Kaat and Paul O'Neill had been making about the current Yankee team.

		Larry, you're right and that idiot is wrong, but it's a bit myopic to write that one guy somehow represents Red Sox fans.
		I don't think dropping a bunch of bunts down is the right strategy if Schilling is throwing in the mid to high 80's again, but if the Yankees feel it's the right strategy then they should do it.
		Like Larry said, this isn't back yard baseball where you're just trying to allow everyone to have some fun.

		Larry Mahnken: Contreras isn't just the pivot of the rotation, he's one of the crucial factors in the AL East race.
		Larry Mahnken: I believe that it's unlikely that Joe Torre will get fired in mid-season unless the Yankees go into an extended slump, or are winning but playing very poorly.
		Larry Mahnken: That could ultimately be the good thing about A-Rod being at third: it makes the media and fans much more critical of Jeter's defense, and with every ball that rolls into center past a diving Jeter, the fans might start moving closer to calling for A-Rod to move back to short.

	The Columbia-Union: Evil Empire, indeed
		Posted by: Larry Mahnken at October 19, 2004 03:41 PM Actually, Yankee fans are gloating openly about the prospect of bunts resulting in an injury to Schilling on various sports boards and call-in shows.
		Posted by: Larry Mahnken at October 19, 2004 03:48 PM It doesn't surprise me that Yankee fans can't distinguish between good baseball (such as running on a pitcher who can't hold runners) and dirty baseball (such as trying to induce an injury).
		Posted by: Larry Mahnken at October 19, 2004 04:46 PM I find the all the quibbling on the subject of sportsmanship quite humorous.

		Larry did an excellent job of spelling out the difference between the two, so I'll quote his email:
		In the Hardball Times article, Mahnken goes on to point out that while eventual champs Anaheim and Florida did well in POP in the postseasons in which they won, both ranked third among the eight playoff teams in their respective campaigns.
		As club broadcasters Jim Kaat and Paul O'Neill noted last weekend, the team's offense is built much differently than in the championship years; in those seasons, the Yankees advanced runners, put runners in motion, bunted occasionally.

	Clifford's Big Red Blog
		Right now I'd like to address two dream-world scenarios offered up by Larry Mahnken of the Replacement Level Yankee Weblog and David Schoenfield over at ESPN's Page 2.
		Both are overpaid, but likely could be moved if the Yankees were to take a little off the top of their contracts.
		Of course, I don't think there's a shred of chance of either of them being traded, but in both Mahnken and Schoenfield's scenario, the reason Johnson is traded is to make room for Williams at DH, and that is where my red flag goes up.
