THT Season Preview, Seamheads Historical League

January 27, 2009 – 5:30 am

Couple things. First off, I’m pleased to announce that The Hardball Times Season Preview 2009 is now available (details from David Gassko, our editor). I contributed the chapter on the Padres. Buy the book. It rocks. And it’ll give you something to read while you’re waiting for my book.
Second, the Seamheads Historical League [...]

Friday Links (12 Sep 08)

September 12, 2008 – 6:25 am

That was a fun one Thursday night, eh? I’d make a crack about how it’s only the Giants, but seeing as how we have virtually no chance of overtaking them for fourth place, that hardly seems appropriate.
Seriously, though, it’s cool to see a bunch of these kids that I watched at Elsinore come up here [...]

Top 10 Prospects for 2008

December 11, 2007 – 7:19 am

I’ve shied away from compiling top prospect lists in recent years because it’s my belief that what they best measure are the list-maker’s biases. (Okay, and maybe I’m still feeling a little sheepish about ranking Jake Gautreau ahead of Jason Bay once upon a time.)
Other people like reading prospect lists, though, and I’m not prepared [...]

Review the Preview: Pitchers

October 8, 2007 – 8:07 am

We’re looking back at my preseason predictions for the Padres. Last week we examined the hitters; today we turn our attention to the moundsmen…
Rotation
Jake Peavy, RHP
What I said: “If he’s going to maintain his place among the elite pitchers in baseball, Peavy really needs to become more efficient.”
What happened: From a visual standpoint, it seemed [...]

Winter League 1999-2000: Arizona Fall League

January 8, 2000 – 7:14 am

The Arizona Fall League (AFL) works a little differently from the other Winter Leagues. It’s actually subsidised by Major League Baseball with the purpose of serving as a league where the best prospects can further work on their game against better competition. Statistics in this league are often misleading, as often an organization will send [...]
