* Baseball Preview Review: ESPN The Magazine

April 4, 2009

Another bi-weekly product, it also features a defensive theme in “Smell the Glove.” Each (very small) team capsule includes a pretty little color-coded chart pointing out the slick, so-so, and sieve spots at each position; a defensive +/- number indicates the team’s “projected total runs saved or lost relative to the ML average.” Huh? Why must these things be made so complicated? (More on that in a future post.)

The only feature story is a profile of Manny Ramierz.

Predictions (division winners/wild card)

AL: Rays, Twins, Angels, Red Sox

NL: Phillies, Cubs, Dodgers, mets

World Series: Rays over Cubs

ESPN.com has their baseball preview here.
