As Villanova will happily attest, experience matters, even in a one-and-done world. Which teams have that kind of veteran depth this season?To measure experience, I like to use what I call returning possession-minutes. In effect, this is simply the percentage of minutes that a player recorded last season, multiplied by the percentage of the teams possessions that he used (as listed at kenpom.com).If everyones back from last year, your percentage of returning possession-minutes (or %RPMs) will of course be 100. Conversely the major-conference average for %RPMs this season is 55.Clear enough? Now, here are your least-experienced major-conference teams for 2016-17. These are the rosters with the smallest percentages of returning possession-minutes from last season: Rangel Ravelo Jersey . -- The bs poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half. Adam Wainwright Jersey . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said. https://www.cheapcardinalsonline.com/1994t-tommy-edman-jersey-cardinals.html . -- In a span of seven Washington Redskins offensive plays, Justin Tuck sacked Robert Griffin III four times. St. Louis Cardinals Store . Both players have lower body injuries that will keep them out of the lineup until at least January 31, which is the first game they can be activated from IR. Kolten Wong Jersey . After a replay, the winner will meet Sunderland in the quarterfinals. Sagbo did well to control Sone Alukos right cross and fire past Brighton goalkeeper Peter Brezovan. Aluko was making his first start in four months after recovering from an Achilles injury. NEW YORK -- The Boston Red Sox won the AL East, clinching the division championship despite wasting a three-run, ninth-inning lead in a 5-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Wednesday night.David Ortiz and the Red Sox, who last weekend secured at least a wild-card spot in the playoffs, were assured of the division title earlier in the ninth inning when the Baltimore Orioles rallied for a 3-2 win at Toronto. But New York came back against Craig Kimbrel and Joe Kelly.After winning their eighth division title, the Red Sox will open their postseason schedule Oct. 6 seeking a second World Series crown in four years. The teams first opponent has not been determined yet.With Ortiz nearing retirement after the season, the Red Sox got to celebrate in the Bronx -- the site of so much Boston heartache throughout its storied rivalry with the Yankees.Of course, there was one glorious moment across the street, when Big Papi and his 2004 teammates overcame a 3-0 deficit to win the AL Championship Series at the old Yankee Stadium. Boston rejoiced and went on that year to capture its first World Series crown since 1918.But this title will taste sweet as well, especially after the Red Sox completed a worst-to-first turnaround for the second time in five seasons. After winning the 2013 World Series, Boston finished last twice in a row.This year has become much more than a farewell tour for Ortiz, though. The 40-year-old franchise icon is enjoying one of his biggest seasons at the plate, joined by steady veterans like Dustin Pedroia and Hanley Ramirez mixed with blossoming young stars Mkie Betts, Xander Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley Jr.ddddddddddddThis is a pretty dynamic team in terms of homegrown players at various stages of their career that are coming together to be a very successful team, manager John Farrell said.Rick Porcello (22 wins) and free-agent prize David Price have solidified the front end of a suspect rotation, with new closer Craig Kimbrel anchoring the bullpen.Boston tk control of a wide-open AL East with an 11-game winning streak -- all against division foes -- that ended with Tuesdays defeat.Above and beyond all, this is a team that cares for one another. And I dont say that lsely, Farrell said. Theyre tough, theyre focused, theyre talented, but, like I said, above all, they care for one another in an extraordinary way.Farrell, who tk over as manager before the 2013 season, enjoyed a personal triumph with this division title as well: He missed the final 1 1/2 months of last season after he was diagnosed with stage 1 lymphoma.Its been a journey that makes you relish the gd times a little bit more. Theyre more meaningful, Farrell said. Theres so much to be fortunate or thankful for. ... Clearly, this puts you in a position to reflect on things differently.The only other time Boston clinched the AL East title away from Fenway Park was at Cleveland in 1988.Now, the Red Sox hope to reach the World Series again -- and set up a potential dream matchup against the Chicago Cubs and former Boston general manager Theo Epstein.
