by Mark Duncan - AP (AP Photo/Mark Duncan) View full size photo » Nothing seems to come easily for Andy Sonnanstine . His fastball barely tops 87 and he's forced to get by on mixing pitches and superb control, which is not a way to earn the benefit of the doubt from fans or scouts. The fastball-throwing, strikeout machines are by far sexier and catch your eye easily, which is why players like...

It’s pretty certain that five of North Carolina’s congressional delegation will vote for whatever budget-busting health care “reform” package that the House leadership proposes. They are Democrats David Price, Bob Etheridge, Mel Watt, Brad Miller and G.K. Butterfield. All the Republicans surely will oppose the government takeover of health care, and probably Democrats Heath...

From the just-in-case-you're-not-sick-of-elections-already file: You know, somehow it seems like every time my adopted home state here seems ready to abandon all those old-school stereotypes that come from being closer to the Gulf of Mexico than the Canadian border, something comes along to reinforce those stereotypes. Whether it's real or a smartly-done satire, that something right now comes in the...

These are all pitches thrown at least 200 times (except in Wade Davis ' case, the limit was 50). Note: Whiff% is (Swinging Strikes/Total Pitches)*100 and rounded to two decimal points. To avoid making this a data dump, here's some commentary: James Shields doesn't have wowing stuff. If you've watched him since 2006 then the newness factor has also wore off. In ways he's undervalued by his own fan base...
