Storm Watch: First Impressions and Bias

I got my first look at the 2011 Lake Elsinore Storm last weekend. They lost to Stockton, 9-7, in extra innings. Right-hander Jerry Sullivan started and had a rough night.

Quick Hits: Checking in on the Prospects

Happy Halloween! To the links… Sabathia’s free agency could set up a big payday for Padres ace (San Diego Union-Tribune). Reader Nick G. sends us an update on the Jake Peavy “story” from Tom Krasovic. Quoth Peavy’s agent, Barry Axelrod: Making this about money is not my style, nor Jake’s style. I think we proved [...]
