Don’t ask how this New Year’s post will lead to Bruce Springsteen … I’m just kind of hoping it does before the clock strikes midnight and it’s done. Start with this odd opening sentence: I’m not sure when I stopped caring who cut my hair. Well, I’m not. I don’t think I was ever particularly…

Springsteen and an Atlanta Shave
Don’t ask how this New Year’s post will lead to Bruce Springsteen … I’m just kind of hoping it does before the clock strikes midnight and it’s done. Start with this odd opening sentence: I’m not sure when I stopped caring who cut my hair. Well, I’m not. I don’t think I was ever particularly…
Pitcher v. Pitcher
So, this guy wrote in with a complaint about Curt Schilling. I should say: I’m a Curt Schilling Hall of Fame guy. I think he’s a Hall of Famer, and I don’t think it’s an especially difficult call. I mean, no, he didn’t have the perfect career. He’s not one of the 10 best pitchers…

Prospects 2006
Bill James wrote a piece the other day about the possible difference between pitching and hitting prospects … and it reminded me of this project I’ve wanted to do for some time.
