Friday Links (13 Apr 07)
Plenty to cover today. Let’s get right to it: Too Much Information (Baseball Prospectus). Joe Sheehan likes the Chris Young signing and has kind words for the young right-hander: I compared Young to Mike Mussina on the air in Indianapolis the other day, and I still like that comp.

Padres Fall Short in Comeback, Young Signs Long-Term Deal
Once again, there isn’t a lot of quit in this team and I like that. After spotting the Giants a 6-0 lead, the Padres darned near came back and won on Tuesday night (recap | box score). If not for a bizarre second inning that saw Marcus Giles muff a grounder, Mike Cameron lose a [...]
