  • Summary Versus Analysis
    SUMMARY VERSUS ANALYSIS Perhaps the most common writing problem in approach or content that first-year college students face is differentiating summary from analysis. High school papers are typically summaries of information (a recitation of facts and figures on a very superficial level) or summaries of literary content (your typical book report). In college, professors expect papers to include but move beyond simple summaries and to provide analysis. Analysis is complex thinking about a subject that requires comprehensive understanding, critical thinking, and independence of perspective. This means more than giving your opinion. Analysis provides an evaluation and assessment of information backed by substantive arguments and direct proof. It also indicates the significance of a given topic, question, or argument, even beyond the scope of an individual paper. In short, summary answers the “who/what/where/when” questions and analysis answers “why?” Below is a scenario approached by summary versus analysis so that you can get a clearer sense of what makes them different. Example: Yankees @ Red Sox Summary Analysis -Play-by-play overview of game -assessment of the game from a specific -statistical summary of game perspective (e.g., compared to rest of series) -reiteration of highlights / key plays -evaluation of players, plays, coaching, etc. -recitation of basic information about -presentation of an argument, opinion, or the game some other “take” about significance of game that goes beyond the final score Last night, the Red Sox came from a two-run deficit Last night, the Red Sox proved that they still have some of in the sixth inning to beat the Yankees 10-4.

    The Boston Red Sox Friday, April 17, 2020 * The Boston Globe Are baseball players facing further salary reductions? Alex Speier Baseball players know they won’t be receiving their full salaries in 2020. An agreement governing the financial relationship between MLB and the Players Association, reached in late March, stipulated that salaries would be adjusted to reflect the percentage of the regular season that was played — with the possibility there would be no games in 2020 due to the shutdown forced by the COVID-19 pandemic. But even if there is a season, could further player salary reductions follow? The possibility was introduced by New York’s Governor, Andrew Cuomo, who in an interview with CNN relayed that Mets COO Jeff Wilpon had suggested that owners might see further salary concessions by players if a season is played in empty ballparks. “Apparently, Major League Baseball would have to make a deal with the players because if you have no one in the stands then the numbers are going to change, right?” Cuomo said. “The economics are going to change.” A major league source said that owners had not broached the topic of potential salary reductions with the MLB Players Association, A major league source said owners had not broached the topic with the Players Association, but the possibility is unsurprisingly being disputed. MLB believes the agreement was premised on the possibility of games taking place in stadiums with fans, and believes the document codifying the agreement is clear on the point. The MLBPA, however, feels the sides already reached an understanding about the financial rules that would govern a season.

    The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, March 25, 2020 * The Boston Globe Red Sox minor leaguer tests positive for coronavirus Julian McWilliams The Red Sox announced Tuesday night that a minor leaguer had tested positive for COVID-19. The player’s positive test occurred March 23 following his return home. The Sox said he was last at Fenway South March 15. The Red Sox kept the player’s name confidential and believe he contracted the virus after leaving spring training. As a precaution, the Red Sox decided to shut down all activity at Fenway South for at least two weeks. The facility will undergo a deep cleaning to disinfect the area. The Sox have instructed all players who came in close contact with the minor leaguer to self-quarantine for two weeks. Manager Ron Roenicke noted during a conference call last week that most of the major league players had returned home, but approximately eight to 15 players stayed back to work out. During that call, chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said although a player hadn’t tested positive for the virus to that point, he knew it was a possibility. “That’s something we’re being very vigilant in monitoring,” Bloom said. “You look around and where this is going, obviously we know that it’s very, very possible that it’s going to happen at some point. We’re just trying to make sure everyone is educated and, again, stay in touch with everybody.” A new group is advocating for minor leaguers to be paid above the poverty line Michael Silverman A new group thinks minor league baseball players ought to earn a salary above the poverty line.
