New Home

Still Plugging Away

I’m still working on a new project that should be unveiled pretty soon.  I have an idea for a write-up that I know you’ll all love, and I wanted to post it today–but I gotta wait until this project is finished.  Hold tight, we still have a long season ahead of us.
Meanwhile, take a look [...]

Sergio Mitre

You can’t stop him, you can only hope to hit him with an errant throw.
4IP 3H 0ER 1BB 7K and 5GB:0FB before getting plunked by a Ted Lilly throw on his way to first base.  He was taken out of the game, but it shouldn’t be serious.
Good Lawd Sergio!  What do you eat for breakfast?

Heads Up

Blogging’s going to be a little on the light side for me the next ten days or so, as I’m taking a little vacation at the moment.  I’ll still try to get some content out for you guys whenever I get the chance, but I just didn’t want you all to wonder where I’ve gone.  [...]

Sunday Required Reading

I ran across a couple of articles around the ‘net this week that I know WTP readers will enjoy.

Rich Lederer had some insight into B.J. Upton’s hot start on his Baseball Analysts site. Check it out, and try to decide if it’s a good time to sell high on B.J.

The Hardball Times’ Matthew Carruth [...]

High-GB%/High-K Pitchers

Back on April 23rd, I talked about the kind of pitcher I think has the best chance for success: A groundball pitcher who also strikes people out. I established in that post that across the board, pitchers who post at least a 45% ground ball rate and 6.5K/9 tend to put up very [...]

I’m back; apologies

After a ten-day hiatus from the blog without any explanation, I’d like to say I’m sorry. I had some work-related things come up and found myself without much time lately, and what spare time I did have I spent with the fiancee instead of writing. I didn’t realize so many of you guys [...]

Recommended Reading

I don’t really have time to hammer out a reasonable write-up today, so instead I’ll point you guys toward a few of my favorite resources for keeper/dynasty prospect and young player evaluation.
The first is The Hardball Times’ Chris Constancio’s, “Best Young…” articles, which were invaluable in my preparation for 2007. The other free [...]

Monday Morning Bullets

A few things happened this weekend that I’d like to talk about, but none of them are really deserving of an entire post. Thus, I go to the lazy writer’s standby, the bullet point article.

With Ryan Langerhans getting dealt to Oakland on Sunday, Matt Diaz should be the Braves’ primary left fielder. [...]

Even God Rested on the Seventh Day

I’m gonna take the day off from blogging today so I can spend some time with the fiancee without the computer distracting me. I’ve been posting nonstop since I began the site, and while I’m always going to be extremely active, I don’t want to wear myself out. I’ll come back with another [...]
