http://www.rotoworld.com/content/home_MLB.aspx - According to Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com, Francisco Rodriguez's grievance hearing is scheduled for next Monday and Tuesday, but an immediate decision will not be rendered. The hearing will proceed, even though Rodriguez still has criminal charges pending. At dispute is the Mets' decision to place K-Rod on the restricted list, which cost him $3,142,076 of his $11.5 million salary for the season and converted his contract to non-guaranteed. According to Rubin, the expectation is that the matter will be fully resolved before spring training.
http://www.rotoworld.com/content/home_MLB.aspx - Billy Wagner confirmed his retirement from baseball Monday. The veteran closer was knocked out of the NLDS prematurely because of a left oblique injury. Wagner turned in a stellar 1.43 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 104/22 K/BB ratio over 69 1/3 innings during the regular season, converting 37-of-44 save opportunities. He could be dominant for another few years, but the 39-year-old is tired and ready to focus on family life. Craig Kimbrel is expected to open the 2011 season as the Braves' primary closer.
15) Fernando Martinez, OF, Mets: Hit .253/.317/.455 in Triple-A, 71 games. Injuries remain an issue, still just 22 years old entering 2011.
24) Wilmer Flores, SS, Mets: Hit .278/.342/.433 in Low-A Sally League and .300/.324/.415 in High-A Florida State League. He's only 19 years old; this was a good season. Will need new position though.
35) Ike Davis, 1B, Mets: Hit .264/.351/.440 with 19 homers for the Mets. A credible major league debut, with better seasons to follow.

Valdes managed to hold down a spot in the Mets bullpen for most of the year despite his struggles. Valdes had a good start in the last series of the year going 5 and 1/3 innings allowing only one run while striking out five.
wOBA* = a park-adjusted version (using Patriot's latest 2010 park factors) of wOBA, which includes base runs hitting plus BPro's EqBRR baserunning statistics.
eERA = An average of a park-adjusted FIP and xFIP. This essentially regresses HR/FB half way to league average.
Field = a composite team fielding statistic based on UZR, DRS, an in-house catching statistic, and the difference between park-adjusted FIP and park-adjusted base runs.
cW% = Component winning percentage. We estimate offense based on the wOBA above, defense based on pitching and fielding, and then plug them into pythagenpat to get this number.
SoS = Strength of Schedule, based on the average cW%. It is calculated iteratively.
cW%s = Strength of schedule-adjusted cW%. When we account for the fact that teams with tough schedules likely have depressed statistics (and vice versa), how different do the teams look?
