FanGraphs Audio: Dave Cameron, Live from the Disabled List

by
June 27, 2017

Episode 752
Managing editor Dave Cameron recently underwent surgery to repair his ACL. In this episode, the host of FanGraphs Audio uses Cameron’s personal misfortune as an entree into a conversation about baseball’s actual disabled list. This offseason, the 15-day DL was replaced by the 10-day variety. Certain clubs (the Dodgers) have used the rule change to their advantage. Others (the Mets) haven’t. Also, were Cameron to create a DL system from whole cloth, how would he do it? The guest holds forth on that and much, much, much, much, much more.

I like to think that Cistulli is the Angel Pagan of the FanGraphs clubhouse

I tend to think of him more as the Munenori Kawasaki — the inexplicable, ineffable final piece cryptically crucial to a Championship.
