Needless to say, we didn’t make it to Elsinore. Anybody out there have a report? Anyway, here’s some stuff that’s come across my desk over the past few days:

• Sabernomics Simple Projection System. What it says. He also has projections for pitchers.
• Storm roster nearly final (NC Times). Jeff pointed us to this in the comments a few days ago. Big names are C George Kottaras and LHP Sean Thompson.
• La Vida DePo (Dodger Thoughts). Jon interviews Dodger GM Paul DePodesta. A little long, but worth it. This is a wonderful read.
• Klesko still frustrated by Petco Park’s dimensions (Yahoo!). In other news, fans still tired of hearing about it.
• NL EWSL Standings (Baseball Crank). The Crank has the Padres at 88-74 and winning the NL West.
• Baseball Musings has the Padres finishing second behind the Dodgers in their NL West Preview. Although David favors LA, he concedes that “the Dodgers and Padres are really a toss-up.”
• Scout.com has rosters for Low-A Ft. Wayne and Double-A Mobile. SS Matt Bush is the big name at the former; RHP Travis Chick and 1B/OF Paul McAnulty are the ones to watch at the latter. We have any readers in or near either of those towns? I’d love to hear some reports during the season. Drop me a line.
• There is no truth to the rumor that Congress is investigating whether these coins are larger than their in-circulation counterparts.
• Nothing to do with baseball, BlogPulse is a cool blog search tool that I recently found. [via The RSS Weblog]
