  • A's News Clips, Thursday, March 3, 2011 A's Outfielder Coco Crisp
    A’s News Clips, Thursday, March 3, 2011 A's outfielder Coco Crisp arrested on suspicion of DUI By Joe Stiglich Oakland Tribune A's center fielder Coco Crisp was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol early Wednesday morning, according to an A's news release. Crisp was detained and taken to City of Scottsdale Jail before being released Wednesday morning. He showed up to Phoenix Municipal Stadium on time to join the team for pre-game drills and was in uniform -- but not in the lineup -- for a game against the Cleveland Indians. Crisp declined to comment when asked about the situation, saying he would address the media "in due time." "The A's are aware of the situation and take such matters seriously," the A's statement read. "The team and Coco will have no further comment until further details are available." Crisp, 31, is in his second season with the A's and is slated to play center field and be the leadoff hitter. Ironically, the A's held a security meeting with Major League Baseball officials before taking the field Wednesday. A message that is stressed in the annual meeting is having awareness of the off-field dangers that exist for professional athletes. Crisp signed with the A's as a free agent in December 2009. He hit .279 with eight homers and 38 RBIs last season but played in just 75 games because of a fractured pinkie and strained rib cage muscle. Crisp posts frequently on his Twitter account and often makes reference to his nighttime socializing.

  • This Worksheet Is Designed for Young Baseball Players Help Understand
    THE MENTAL GAME OF BASEBALL This worksheet is designed for young baseball players to help them understand the mental side of baseball. This paper is comprised of notes from two books, THE MENTAL GAME OF BASEBALL (H.A. Dorfman, Karl Kuehl) and HEADS-UP BASEBALL (Ken Ravizza, Tom Hanson). Approach major league players, managers, and coaches and ask them what distinguishes the best players from the rest. They will usually point to their heads. They believe that anyone good enough to make it to the big league possesses impressive physical tools. But it’s the mental toolbox that holds the difference between an ordinary player and a great one. Ty Cobb, one of the great achievers in the history of Major League Baseball, said it best, “what’s above the player’s shoulders is more important than what is below.” My attempt in writing this is to give young ball players a resource to assist in their understanding of just how important the mental aspect of baseball is. Hopefully, we can explain, define and implement a path of growth for each player to strengthen the mental aspect of their game. The goal of a strong mental game is to play with confidence. Confidence is best described as a feeling, a belief or a knowing that the task at hand can be successfully performed. Another goal of a strong mental game is to play with a sense of freedom, of total concentration, high physical energy and a lack of fear. It is about trusting your ability and letting go. CONFIDENCE IS EVERYTHING.

  • Spillovers and Substitutability in Production
    Spillovers and substitutability in production Alex Bryson and Kerry L. Papps* Can the existence of positive productivity spillovers between co-workers be explained by the presence of complementarities in a firm’s production function? A simple theory demonstrates that this is possible when workers perform their tasks sequentially, but also that negative spillovers may arise when workers can raise overall team output unilaterally. Play-by-play data from major league baseball are used to test whether such spillovers exist between hitters over the course of a game, exploiting the fact that hitters perform their tasks sequentially. The results indicate that the overall spillovers between teammates are positive but small. However, these cannot be explained by the incentives inherent in the team’s production function, which are found to have a negative effect on performance. Consistent with theory, the payment of higher base salaries and individual performance bonuses is found to weaken the responsiveness of players to the pay-offs from their performance. “But here you are in the ninth / Two men out and three men on / Nowhere to look but inside / Where we all respond to pressure.” BILLY JOEL, “Pressure” (1982) 1. Introduction The possibility that a worker may become more productive as a result of working alongside a highly able co-worker can have big consequences for employers. Most workplaces involve teams and the job of any good manager is to assign workers in a way that maximises overall production. However, there are a number of reasons why performance spillovers may exist within teams, all of which imply different optimal policies for firms.
