Will Carroll gives his two cents (and a ton of great analysis) on Jon Papelbon’s move to the pen from a medical slant. One of the things he talks about is how relievers can go into a game without properly warming up (and then having to throw at 100%). It’s premium so I don’t want to give too much up but if you’re on the fence about subscribing to Baseball Prospectus, Will Carroll’s Under the Knife column is probably worth the price along. Not to diminish the other writers because you get a ton of great analysis, but you should rest assured that you’ll get your money’s worth.
