A's News Clips, Friday the 13Th, August, 2010 Errors Come With
A’s News Clips, Friday the 13th, August, 2010 Errors come with catch for Oakland A's infield By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune A's shortstop Cliff Pennington is susceptible to flubbing a routine play on occasion, and he is just as likely to dazzle with a play worthy of the highlight reel. Indeed, the defensive work of Pennington and his infield teammates has been a mixed bag this season. Whatever judgments you cast on the A's infield defense depend largely on the numbers you emphasize. Pennington entered Thursday's play leading American League shortstops with 17 errors. Daric Barton was tied for most among AL first baseman with 10, and third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff had 10 errors, more than tripling his total from last season. Sure-handed second baseman Mark Ellis has stood out in that category, having committed just one error. But although errors are the most basic and easily understood statistic available to critique defensive play, they tell only part of the story. "I'm not overly concerned with the errors," A's infield coach Mike Gallego said. "The big errors to me are the ones that produce a run. When you go over them, I know there's been a few, but I don't recall that happening too often." The A's allowed 76 unearned runs in 2009, second most in the AL. So far this year they've allowed just 38, putting them on pace to lower that total significantly. Pennington is making his share of mistakes in his first full season as the starting shortstop. -

Recipient: Bill Madden, Dave Van Dyck, Bob Elliott, Rick Hummel, Claire Smith, Steve Hirdt, Jack O'Connell, Glenn Schwarz, Tracy Ringolsby, Mark Whicker, Ken Nigro, Baseball Writers Association of America's Historical Overview Committee, and Jeffrey Idelson Letter: Greetings, I just signed the following petition addressed to: Base Ball Writers Association of America's Historical Overview Committee. Recognize Daniel Lucius “Doc” Adams as a pioneer of our National Pastime. In seeking the origins of our National Pastime, it is important to search out and recognize the pioneers who were instrumental in its formation rather than perpetuate myths and half-truths and include Doc Adams on the Pre-Integration Era ballot submitted to the Pre-Integration Era Committee for consideration for inclusion in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Daniel Lucius “Doc” Adams was an early pioneer of our National Pastime, the great game of baseball, and should be recognized as such with enshrinement in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Doc Adams was an American baseball player and executive who is regarded by historians as an important figure in the sport's early years. He played an important role during the seminal years of the game and his contributions are as significant as those of other early pioneers, Alexander Cartwright and Henry Chadwick, who already enshrined in the Hall. The first step to enshrinement is to have him included on the 2012 National Baseball Hall of Fame Pre-Integration Era ballot. We therefore petition the BBWAA Historical Overview Committee to look back beyond 1876, evaluate the accomplishments and contributions of Doc Adams and include him on this year’s ballot so that he may be considered, voted on and ultimately selected by the Pre- Integration Era Committee for induction into the Hall of Fame. -
