    A’s News Clips, Saturday, July 23, 2011 New York Yankees put hurt on Trevor Cahill, Oakland A's in 17-7 romp By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune NEW YORK -- Trevor Cahill took his struggles against the New York Yankees to another level Friday night at Yankee Stadium. The A's right-hander was charged with a career-high 10 earned runs in a 17-7 blowout defeat to open a three-game series. The A's have now lost 11 straight to the Yankees. Cahill allowed nine hits and lasted just two-plus innings in the shortest start of his career. After being staked to a 2-0 lead, he allowed five runs in the bottom of the second. Then he allowed Nick Swisher's three-run homer in the third, as the Yankees batted around in a nine-run rally. Michael Wuertz relieved Cahill in the third but fared no better, walking in two runs before allowing Mark Teixeira's grand slam. Cahill's 10 earned runs were the most allowed by an A's starter since Gio Gonzalez surrendered 11 to the Twins on July 20, 2009. Oakland A's update: Rookie second baseman Jemile Weeks savors first trip to Yankee Stadium By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune NEW YORK -- When A's rookie second baseman Jemile Weeks arrived at Yankee Stadium on Friday afternoon, he immediately went out to the field to take it all in. "You're talking a big deal, first time at Yankee Stadium," Weeks said. "It's an exciting time for me, just to look at the stadium and out into the stands to get a feel of what it's like." Weeks certainly played inspired in his first visit to the ballpark.

    OAKLAND ATHLETICS Media Release Oakland Athletics Baseball Company h 7000 Coliseum Way h Oakland, CA 94621 510-638-4900 h Public Relations Facsimile 510-562-1633 h www.oaklandathletics.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 6, 2011 A’s Reinstate IF Rosales from DL; Recall IF Sizemore from Sacramento 3B Kouzmanoff and RHP De Los Santos Optioned to Sacramento OAKLAND, Calif. – The Oakland A’s reinstated infielder Adam Rosales from the 60-day disabled list and recalled infielder Scott Sizemore from Triple-A Sacramento, the club announced today. The A’s also optioned third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff and right-handed pitcher Fautino De Los Santos to Sacramento. Rosales missed all of spring training and opened the season on the 60-day DL with a fractured right foot. He began a rehab assignment with Sacramento last Wednesday and went 3 for 10 (.300) with a double, triple and three walks in three games. The 28-year old appeared in one game each at third base, second base and shortstop. Rosales batted .271 with seven home runs and 31 RBI in 80 games with Oakland last year before going on the DL in mid-August. He became the first Athletic to start at least one game at six different positions since Scott Brosius in 1995. Sizemore was acquired from the Detroit Tigers May 27 in exchange for left-handed pitcher David Purcey. He began the season at Triple-A Toledo and was batting .408 with two home runs and 15 RBI in 23 games when he was recalled by Detroit May 3. The 26-year old was leading the International League in batting and on-base percentage (.495) at the time of his promotion but hit .222 with 10 walks (.329 on-base percentage) in 17 games with Detroit.

A Point-Mass Mixture Random Effects Model for Pitching Metrics James Piette, Alexander Braunstein, Blakeley B. McShane, and Shane T. Jensen Abstract A plethora of statistics have been proposed to measure the effectiveness of pitchers in Major League Baseball. While many of these are quite traditional (e.g., ERA, wins), some have gained currency only recently (e.g., WHIP, K/BB). Some of these metrics may have predictive power, but it is unclear which are the most reliable or consistent. We address this question by constructing a Bayesian random effects model that incorporates a point mass mixture and fitting it to data on twenty metrics spanning approximately 2,500 players and 35 years. Our model identifies FIP, HR/ 9, ERA, and BB/9 as the highest signal metrics for starters and GB%, FB%, and K/9 as the highest signal metrics for relievers. In general, the metrics identified by our model are independent of team defense.
