Hey all, sorry for the missing nerd this past Monday. Unfortunately, technical difficulties with the official nerd-scanner have provided a roadblock to expanding the nerd archive. Thankfully, there is a seemingly never-ending supply of Kent Tekulve cards available for posting. You can see our first Kent Tekulve post here. There are many more Tekulve cards in the archive. We may have to develop some sort of lifetime achievement award.

Happy “pitchers and catchers reporting” everyone.

Another deceptively young nerd…Mr. Robinson was only 29 when this picture was taken.  Mr. Robinson’s nickname was, for some reason, “The Caveman,” and not “Mr. Kotter.”  Mr. Robinson actually pitched for 14 seasons, and was considered one of the best hitting pitchers in the game.  He had 13 career home runs, including a pinch-hit-home-run in 1990.

Mr. Fermin is a throwback to the days of NerdBaseball on MySpace. In 1996, Mr. Fermin was nearly traded to the Yankees for Mariano Rivera. After that same season, he ended his career with a total of four home runs in 2,767 at bats.

WARP value continued…

Friday, March 13th, 2009 by I Love Nerd York City

After I addressed the price that several of MLB’s top players were paid for each WARP (win above replacement player) that they contributed, Prof. Nerdtron posed the question of which teams did the best job finding value through free agency. I tried to at least begin answering this question by looking at the entire free agent class of 2006/7 and 2007/8. So which teams have done the best job over the past two years?
