Aaron Gleeman had a good piece yesterday about Paul DePodesta, the new general manager of the L.A. Dodgers. Actually, Gleeman’s column was a scathing critique of Bill Plaschke–a journalist for The Los Angeles Times–who wrote an uniformed and snide article about DePodesta the other day. The most valuable aspect of Gleeman’s article is a link he provided to an article Branch Rickey wrote for Life magazine in 1954 about baseaball statistics. Thank you, Mr. Gleeman.
