Preseason Projections for 2007 Revisited
Thank you for your excellent suggestions on the book, and keep ‘em coming.

In that vein, I thought it might be fun to re-examine preseason projections for key [...]
Review the Preview: Pitchers
We’re looking back at my preseason predictions for the Padres.

Geoff at Ballhype Elsewhere in reality, I’ve started writing for Ballhype. My first article — “Barry Zito Is the New [...]
Padres Beat Snakes, Peavy Breaks Record
Gee, it’s a shame the Padres can’t come back late in games. You know, like they did Monday night (box score). First off, congratulations to Jake Peavy on breaking Andy Benes’ club record for career strikeouts. Peavy caught Orlando Hudson looking on an inside fastball in the first inning to take over the top spot: [...]
Tuesday Links (28 Jul 07)
Because I missed our regularly scheduled Friday Links this past week and the ’69 Padres have an off-day, I thought I’d fill some space here. I’m crazy that way, so don’t try to stop me. Right, whatever. Here are some links (a lot, actually, with minimal commentary): 2007 Scouting Report by the Fans for the [...]
