Where Bad Sports Journalism Comes To Die

FJM is a closed forum, but we welcome reader feedback. We're especially interested in corrections of our work, and research (usually number-crunching) that we may not be able to do ourselves. Please check the comments section as well, where we often post readers' opinions, and, less frequently, announce that we were wrong about something. You can e-mail dak, Ken Tremendous, Junior, Matthew Murbles, or Coach individually.

One Thing I Know I Think I Think I Know is Stupid

From America's foremost typist, Peter King:

d. There can't be a more improved player in baseball over the last couple of years -- other than maybe Carlos Pena -- than Kaz Matsui.

As reader a.s. pointed out:

Kaz's OPS+

2004 - 88
2005 - 72
2006 - 76
2007 - 87

And 2007 he put up in the zero-gravity of Coors Field.

** EDIT ** Junior here. Just acknowledging that yes, OPS+ is park-adjusted.

** EDIT ** KT here, just acknowledging that I am an idiot.

Pop

Overheard on TBS in the 10th inning of the tiebreaker: Joe Simpson, re: Kaz Matsui:

This guy's got some pop in his bat. He's got four home runs this year.
