Baseball Prospectus's Nate Silver just realized that 75 wins is better than 74 wins is better than 73 wins.
I've written about this many times before. It's good to see one of the B-Pro people turning the corner on this most important subject. Only winning courts winning and only winning sells out the stadium.
One of the latest fads or memes or ideas circulating among baseball fans this summer is the value of the out. Don't give them away, people say. Maybe soon we'll all be talking about the value of the win. The best rebuilding strategy is always one designed to win as many games as possible. If a lack of major-league ready rookies necessitates the signing of cheap veterans, so be it.
