• Heres a Thought: ...And 2009s Luckiest Pitcher Award Goes To...

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 770
  If youre a regular reader of "Heres a Thought," you probably know that I dont like to use ERA very much. Instead, I prefer FIP, tRA, and xFIP when discussing pitchers. The statistics are just luck-adjusted ERAs, so they slot in nicely to ERAs "traditional" statistical role. Thus, an easy way to tell how "lucky" a ...

• Baseball Prospect Report: Jason Castro

  
  Bleacher Report — Authority: 770
  In an offseason where mediocre catchers have received some fairly sizable contracts (Jason Kendall and Ivan Rodriguez, just to name a few), there are some teams who could be looking from within to fill their voids.  While everyone’s mind instantly jumps to Buster Posey, the Astros have their own catching prospect ...

• Yanks Can Steal Valverde

  
  Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest — Authority: 147
