The first, by Mitch Albom of the Detroit Free Press focuses on now deposed Tigers' closer, Todd Jones and Jim Leyland's switch to Fernando Rodney in that role. The bottom line is this: Jones is 40 years old, was never a sexy closer and has lost just enough from his good stuff to make himself dangerously naked on the mound.
On RealClearSports, Jeff Neuman examines Ryan Howard, productive outs and the overall effect that strikeouts have on offensive production. Not quite hardballtimes levels of brilliance, but well done.
