Baseball On Par With Other Professional Sports In Dealing With Bad Umpires - May 20

In the midst of Ben Lindbergh's latest (and free) piece for Baseball Prospectus, he drops in this little bit:
Until recently, the Astros were a team that mostly tried to decide things like, "Which Phillies player and/or prospect should we try to trade for?" and "How much money can we offer Brandon Lyon without making him suspicious?"
The article's not about the Astros. It's about a market inefficiency that's not been fully exploited yet, and you should read the thing. Lindbergh's good.
