Friday, May 30, 2008The sweet spotPosted by Dave StudemanLuke Scott gives Tyler Kepner a vivid demonstration of how small the "sweet spot" is. (Hat tip: Alex) The Padres’ draftPosted by Dave StudemanSpeaking of the draft, Paul DePodesta checks in with his first overview of how the Padres go about setting their draft priorities. This is pretty basic stuff ("we have scouts and crosscheckers...") but it's still good information. And DePodesta says that more details will be posted soon. Prospect Profile: Pedro AlvarezPosted by Dave StudemanSaber Scouting is gearing up for the draft big time. Here's an in-depth look at #2 prospect Pedro Alvarez.

Location, locationPosted by Mike FastI'm catching up on old articles on PITCHf/x-related topics, and I came across a couple of real gems from Jonathan Hale over at Baseball Digest Daily.

The first study covers results based on height of the pitch, and the second study covers results based on location across the plate. I highly recommend both articles. Replay is ComingPosted by Matthew CarruthLike it or not, instant replay will be a fact in baseball at some point. At least, that's what umpire supervisor Rich Rieker believes. Hattip: David Pinto Bill James and Tango on BondsPosted by Matthew CarruthSome random discussion on the value of Barry Bonds with Bill James and Tango. It's doesn't really matter what the topic is when these two are talking. Hot Air RisesPosted by Matthew CarruthHomeruns are a bit down so far this year, has temperature played a role? It turns out that it's possible but not in the way you might think. 1980s Vintage ShortstopsPosted by Matthew CarruthThe American League shortstops were a dominant position a decade ago, but now as the big trio has aged and moved off position (or should have in Jeter's case), the position is once again back to its slap hitting ways. Tabata in DoghousePosted by Matthew CarruthJose Tabata is back in hot water and his on field performance isn't doing him any favors either. |
