Friday Links (7 Jul 06)
Several folks have asked about the recent Baseball Prospectus Pizza Feed at Petco Park.

They’ve pretty much covered it [...]

I’m preparing a lengthy post for Wednesday morning that has nothing to do with this, so I can’t comment much other than to say these names look a lot better than what we’ve [...]
Friday Notes
Slow news day. Go nuts. Giles, Padres make progress on long-term deal (FOXSports). According to this report, “the difference between the sides is ‘significant’ but ‘not vast.’” Thanks. That tells us absolutely nothing. D-Backs begin GM search (MLB.com). Kevin Towers either has or has not been interviewed. I guess we’ll find out soon enough. Can’t [...]
