Padres Farm Report (25 May 08)
Wil Ledezma is frustrating to watch. He pumps mid-90s fastballs but appears to have very little aptitude for pitching… Triple-A — Salt Lake 5, Portland 4 Matt Antonelli: 0-for-3, BB (.182/.325/.302, 32 BB, 29 SO) Peter Ciofrone (RF): 3-for-4, HR (.298/.397/.554, 16 BB, 17 SO) Chase Headley: 1-for-4, 3B (.291/.351/.508, 17 BB, 50 SO) Brian [...]
Adios, 2007
It’s the end of the year as we know it, and I feel fine. Last year at this time, I ran a list of the most popular articles at Ducksnorts in 2006. This time around, I thought I’d try something a little different and give you a list of my favorite articles from 2007, i.e., [...]

Jason Kendall: Another Story That Won’t Die

Okay, it caught Charlie Wilmoth’s attention and Charlie’s comment caught mine. The question has to do with Sean Burroughs and whether he might be a candidate for a deal to the Pirates for, [...]
ROY Watch: Greene/Bay Showdown, with Charlie Wilmoth of Value Over Replacement Blog
