Appearances and Such
In addition to my work here at Ducksnorts, I am a regular contributor to Baseball Daily Digest, Baseball Prospectus Unfiltered, Hardball Times, and various other online publications (including a daily gig at Knuckle Curve from September 2006 to April 2008).

Happy Leap Day. If you haven’t participated in the Opening Day Roster contest, what’s up with that? The winner receives a copy of the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual. Meanwhile, we’ve got links: SI.com reports that Brian Giles is feeling good. So is his surgically repaired right knee. [Kevin] John Walsh at Hardball Times is searching [...]

OBG08: Le Menu Josh Bard/Michael Barrett Adrian Gonzalez Tadahito Iguchi Kevin Kouzmanoff Khalil Greene Scott Hairston Chase Headley Jim Edmonds Brian Giles Jake Peavy Chris Young Greg Maddux Trevor Hoffman Heath Bell Cla Meredith Welcome to the back end of the bullpen. It’s hard to say who, exactly, will be here. I’m assuming that Kevin [...]
OBG08: Jake Peavy
Before we get to the projections, a quick note on the Khalil Greene deal that happened over the weekend. I’ve already discussed Greene’s situation at length, so I’ll just say now that I’m glad both sides worked together to get something done. The contract isn’t as long as I (or the Padres) would have liked, [...]
