This Week in SABR: December 13, 2013

/in /by

Welcome to “This Week in SABR!” Here’s what we’ve been up to as of December 13, 2013:

Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik to speak at 2014 SABR Analytics Conference

We are pleased to welcome Jack Zduriencik, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Seattle Mariners, as a panelist on the General Managers Panel at the third annual SABR Analytics Conference, to be held March 13-15, 2014 at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona.

Zduriencik is entering his sixth season as Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Mariners. In his first year on the job, he re-organized the Mariners’ Baseball Operations, Scouting and Player Development staffs, added talent to both the major league and minor league rosters and hired a new manager and coaching staff, all resulting in the Mariners vaulting from 61 wins in 2008 to 85 wins in 2009.

Previously, Zduriencik spent nine seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers, most recently serving as Vice President of Player Personnel. He was named Executive of the Year by Baseball America in 2007, the first non-GM to win the award. He also has worked in the front office for the New York Mets (1983-90, 1994-98), Pittsburgh Pirates (1991-93) and Los Angeles Dodgers (1999.)

We’re also excited to bring back one of the most popular panels at last year’s SABR Analytics Conference, the Clubhouse Confidential Panel, with SABR President Vince Gennaro, Rob Neyer of Baseball Nation, Dave Cameron of FanGraphs, Ben Lindbergh of Baseball Prospectus and moderator Brian Kenny of MLB Network.

Our panelists appear regularly on MLB Network’s signature sabermetrics program, “Clubhouse Confidential” (airing at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. daily). You will have the opportunity to ask them questions related to baseball analytics, value projection and other topics. Date and time to be announced soon. Click here to read bios of the Clubhouse Confidential panelists.

They will join Aaron Boone, Buster Olney and Jon Sciambi of ESPN; Dr. Glenn Fleisig of the American Sports Medicine Institute; and Jonathan Mayo, Bernie Pleskoff and Jim Callis of MLB.com at the conference. We hope you’ll join us in March for this spectacular event.

SABR has a long and storied history with baseball statistical analysis, evidenced by the link between our name and sabermetrics. While SABR is a multi-faceted organization involved in virtually every aspect of baseball, we have taken a major step to re-connect with our beginnings by producing and hosting the third annual:

Donate to SABR and support the future of baseball research

Unlike many nonprofit organizations that hold monthly donation pledge drives and continually solicit donations, SABR has never been proactive about asking for donations. However, like all other nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations, SABR relies heavily on generous donations to supplement its membership dues and help the organization survive and prosper. We appreciate those members who have given in the past and continue to donate to SABR. As SABR continues to serve its members and move forward with exciting new member opportunities, we are going to become more proactive by asking our passionate and knowledgeable members to support their very special organization.

All donations to SABR are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. We thank you for supporting SABR and baseball research in all its forms.

To make a donation to support SABR, visit SABR.org/donate.

Managers La Russa, Torre, Cox elected to Baseball Hall of Fame

As SABR member Barry Bloom reports: For the first time in the history of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, three of the greatest managers of a generation — Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and Tony La Russa — will be inducted on the same day this coming summer.

The three, who accumulated 7,558 regular-season wins, 17 pennants and eight World Series titles, were elected unanimously by the 16-member Expansion Era Committee during a lengthy meeting on Sunday. The announcement by Hall of Fame chairman Jane Forbes Clark was made on Monday morning as the annual Winter Meetings began.

Cox spent 25 of his 29 seasons as a big league manager with the Braves, winning the 1995 World Series and 14 consecutive division titles. Torre, who managed for 29 seasons, won six pennants and four World Series with the Yankees in an eight-year period from 1996-2003. La Russa managed for 33 years, winning it all once with the A’s and twice with the Cardinals.

7 new biographies published by the SABR BioProject

Seven new biographies were posted as part of the SABR Baseball Biography Project, which brings us to a total of 2,599 published biographies. Here are the new bios:

All new biographies can be found here: http://sabr.org/bioproj/recent

You can find the SABR BioProject at SABR.org/BioProject.

Bios on more than just ballplayers: The ambitious goal of the SABR Baseball Biography Project is to publish a full-life biography of every major league player in history. But SABR members write about a lot more than just ballplayers. In addition, we have pages for Ballparks, Broadcasters, Executives, Managers, Scouts, Spouses, Umpires and a lot more on the BioProject website. You can browse all of these categories at http://sabr.org/bioproj/browse. So if you’ve ever thought, “Hey, that person (or ballpark) should get the full BioProject treatment” — write the story and we’ll publish it!

Get involved! If you’d like to help contribute to the SABR BioProject, visit our BioProject Resources page or read the FAQs section to get started. We’re also looking to expand the BioProject to include all “encyclopedic” articles on baseball-related subjects from past SABR publications or committee newsletters. If you come across an article you think should be included in the SABR “baseball repository” at the BioProject, send a copy or link to markarmour04@gmail.com or jpomrenke@sabr.org.

Retroactive All-Star Game Project: 1922 AL stars rout Senior Circuit, 11-2

This game summary is from the Retroactive All-Star Game Project. Voting was conducted to select retroactive MLB All-Star teams from the 1922 season and the games were simulated using Out of the Park 14. 

The American League copped its third straight All-Star game after routing the National League by a score of 11-2, thanks in part to St. Louis Browns slugger Ken Williams who went 4 for 6 with a long homer, two runs batted in and a run scored.  The junior circuit scored in all but two innings and after the first, the game was never close.  All five NL pitchers were scored upon, although Dazzy Vance’s run was unearned. 

The AL now holds a 4-2 lead in All-Star play and will host next year’s game at newly minted Yankee Stadium, which is being erected as we speak.  Word has it that contractors have an ambitious goal to have the monolith finished in time for this year’s World Series should the Yankees win the AL pennant again.  Regardless, it’ll no doubt be ready for next year’s Midsummer Classic.

Highlights and outstanding players from this year’s game include:

  • The aforementioned Ken Williams, who was named the game’s outstanding player.
  • George Sisler rapping out three more hits to add to his All-Star total.
  • Ty Cobb going 3 for 4 with a triple, a walk, a hit-by-pitch, two runs scored and two runs batted in. 
  • Walter Johnson throwing three innings of scoreless ball in which he allowed only one hit.
  • Ross Youngs going 2 for 3 with a double, walk and run scored.
  • Dave Bancroft going 2 for 5 with a double and a run.

A full recap, box score and game log is available at Seamheads.com.

Call for Papers: 2014 Southern Association Baseball Conference

Clarence Watkins and David Brewer are sending out a call for presentations and displays for the upcoming 11th annual Southern Association Baseball Conference to be held in Atlanta on March 1, 2014.

The annual Southern Association Conferences celebrate the history of the Southern Association, which was the heart of professional baseball in the South, until the major league expansions in the 1960s. The conferences focus on the stadiums, the teams, and players, and the historical significance of the game of baseball in the South.

Most of the annual Southern Association Conferences have been held at historic Rickwood Field in Birmingham, but we have also met in Chattanooga and Nashville. This is the first year that we shall visit Atlanta, the home of the Atlanta Crackers, the late Earl Mann, and Ponce De Leon Park.

We want the 11th annual conference to deal mainly with Atlanta’s long and memorable tenure in the Southern Association, but we will also consider other topics related to baseball in Atlanta and the South.

Please send a short synopsis of your presentation to David Brewer for our consideration at david@rickwood.com. We would like to receive your proposals by January 8, 2014. We shall respond to your proposal as soon as possible, and certainly by January 22, 2014, so that you will have ample time to prepare your presentation.

For more details on presentation requirements, click here.
