I’ve got a few things on my mind this morning. First off, I’m reorganizing the categories of this here blog, trying to put some of those information architecture skills I learned at my last job to use. Among other things, I’m discovering that it’s a lot harder to organize your own stuff than someone else’s. [...]

Congratulations, It’s a Center Fielder
One of the few pleasant surprises in a miserable season has been the resurrection of Jody Gerut’s career. Gerut, who hadn’t played in the big leagues since 2005, signed a minor-league contract with the Padres back in January. Talk about under the radar. As Mick Jagger once sang, “I’ve got no expectations.” It’s not like [...]

Friday Links (25 Apr 08)
I’m pressed for time this morning, so links are offered with minimal commentary (and there was much rejoicing): Alan Drooz at the U-T misses Mike Cameron (h/t PM). Clay Hensley’s first rehab start went well (h/t Field39). MB at Friar Forecast asks how we know when a player is done. Good question. Amy Nelson at [...]
That Strange Feeling We Sometimes Get
Two quick observations about Jim Edmonds and Tadahito Iguchi: Mike Cameron looked lost in center field last April. Marcus Giles hit .327/.376/.459 that same month. What we’re seeing from Edmonds and Iguchi right now may not mean much in August in September. In other words, we still don’t know what we’ve got…
Your Predictions for 2008?
From esteemed reader LynchMob comes this excellent idea for a post on the eve of Opening Day: “provide us with a list of questions which you want us, the commenters, to go ‘on the record’ with”; he then poses several questions, which you will find below. This might be fun to peek back at throughout [...]

Hey, look, here are some links: Our friends at Gaslamp Ball note that Jerry Coleman has written a book. It’s called An American Journey: My Life on the Field, in the Air, and [...]

Food safety tip: “carpaccio” is Italian for “sashimi,” which is Japanese for “it ain’t cooked.” Just so you know. Super quick links today. You provide the commentary… It’s spring: Brew yourself a piping hot pot of optimism Tom Krasovic identifies five story lines to watch in Peoria (h/t LynchMob) MadFriars.com talks to Corey Brock (h/t [...]
Friday Links (18 Jan 08)
Listening to Jeff Buckley, Live at Olympia (thanks, Didi!). That and a pot of coffee should keep me going for a while. To the links (sit down, we’ve got a few)… This is old, but it bears mentioning. Mike Cameron has signed with the Brewers (hat tip to Marsh in the comments). As I mentioned [...]
Friday Links (28 Dec 07)
I don’t have a lot of links today, so before we get to those, let’s do a quick recap of this winter’s moves so far: Out Geoff Blum, INF: Signed with Houston Astros Hiram Bochachica, INF/OF: Signed with Seibu Lions (Japan) Milton Bradley, OF: Signed with Texas Rangers Doug Brocail, RHP: Signed with Houston Astros [...]
