This week's fun statistic: I'll write about this in the offseason, but baseball's new collective bargaining agreement creates more of an incentive than in the past for bad teams to tank at the end of the season in order to improve their draft position. It appears that the NL also-rans may not have gotten the memo that circulated among the worst AL clubs. That, and Billy Hamilton.
