I thought the whole premise was that he moved the best player in baseball history in order to finance No No Nanette.I mean - the whole premise is he traded/sold Ruth from the WS winning team.

Frazee did not sell the Red Sox until August 1, 1923, and he made further trades with the Yankees after selling Ruth.I thought the whole premise was that he moved the best player in baseball history in order to finance No No Nanette.
Thanks, this was an interesting and informative read.Frazee did not sell the Red Sox until August 1, 1923, and he made further trades with the Yankees after selling Ruth.
No, No, Nanette didn't make Broadway until 1925 but was one of the most successful shows of the era.
An article people really should read, which discusses the poor relationship between Frazee and league president, Ban Johnson, WW 1, the collapse of the Red Sox in 1919 (of which Ruth had a part) was published by SABR on Frazee
Thank you for posting. Its recency bias at work but I think Markus Lynn Betts is my favorite baseball player ever just given how he carries himself. What an absolute beast.

This was a fascinating, informative article. Historical context is always important. The Sox were cursed, but it was actually the Curse of Tom Yawkey.

As long as he OPS+ 159 like he's doing now, and as long as they're winning, I doubt they'll move him anywhere.I wonder if the Dodgers will consider moving Mookie back to right field. He's grading out as the worst shortstop in the majors right now in Outs Above Average.

DRS has him at 1 run above average. I know OAA is considered far superior to DRS in assessing outfielders, but I think DRS still is considered as good or better for infielders?I wonder if the Dodgers will consider moving Mookie back to right field.

Do you have a link for the DRS leaders? I'm having trouble finding it for some reason.DRS has him at 1 run above average. I know OAA is considered far superior to DRS in assessing outfielders, but I think DRS still is considered as good or better for infielders?
I made it on stathead on a different machine, but he’s 1 run above average for the season, which includes his time at second base.Do you have a link for the DRS leaders? I'm having trouble finding it for some reason.
Unless the extra wear and tear from playing the infield starts suppressing the batting value. He started out off the charts great, but then went into a month and a half long slump. He's been better in the last week. He can probably finish off the year out there, but it would be in everyone's best interest to get him back in the outfield next season.As long as he OPS+ 159 like he's doing now, and as long as they're winning, I doubt they'll move him anywhere.

Thank you both for that. I'm not sure if DRS is better than OAA for shortstops, but that's a HUGE difference. I haven't watched enough Dodgers games to know what the eye test says.Fangraphs lists DRS:

If I had to guess how good he was defensively at SS based on the Yankee series last weekend, I'd say a bit below average. He made most of the plays but if he played SS for my team, I'd be nervous every time the ball went in his direction.Anyone actually watching Mookie regularly? What does the eye test say?
Is it? There's a reddit thread from last July with some damning examples of OAA completely flubbing plays made/not made by outfielders. As an example, it considers this play to be the most difficult catch of Mookie's career, with an out probability of 5%. Some of the issues raised are that it doesn't take the wall into consideration when determining catch probability, and it always assigns the responsibility of each play to a single fielder, even if that fielder was called off by somebody else.DRS has him at 1 run above average.

If that’s the most difficult catch of his career, this system is incredibly flawed. I wonder how that even happened and why they didn’t bother correcting the probability?Is it?

Dave Roberts said there is a fracture in Mookie Betts’ left hand.
Guess they’ll be moving him off short after all.
