One of the perks of playing on here is occasionally I'll get some email and once in a blue moon it won't be Viagra spam. One of my favorite reference books that I get at the end of each season is the Bill James Handbook , that comes out now from ACTA Sports . One of the fun parts of the book is their Player Projections and they have sent me a preview of it. So I've been a happy little camper searching...

So here it is September and rosters expand, at least for most teams. It works out well that rosters expand at this time of year because at the end of a long season players often have little injuries that kind of accumulate and since either teams are out of the race so it doesn't matter if everyday players get a day off or teams are going to the playoffs and they want to rest players. Either way extra...

Let's say you are manager, it's the bottom of the 9th and you are down by a run. You have the bottom third of your lineup due to hit. Add in it is September and you should have some extra bodies on the bench to evaluate. One would think this would be a spot for you to try out some pinch hitters. And if you think that, you obviously aren't Cito Gaston. Last night, down by a run, bottom of the 9th, Travis...

A few more evening links.... The Blue Jays have some uncertainty at catcher heading into 2010, according to Jordan Bastian of MLB.com. With Rod Barajas poised to test the free agent market, Raul Chavez, Kyle Phillips, J.P. Arencibia, and Brian Jeroloman could all be in the mix for time behind the plate. GM J.P. Ricciardi also tells Bastian that Scott Downs and Jason Frasor could split closing duties...

A three game win streak makes life seem that much better. And with the win yesterday we can't finish last. We have a tough one today with Felix Hernandez pitching for the M's. Ricky Romero gets the start for us. Romero hasn't been as good as he was early in the season but he has 15 quality starts on the season, which isn't bad. Funny for a lefty he has a lot more trouble with lefty batter, the and...

Hi all. This is the last weekend of summer, and it really felt like it - warm and sunny, I had a long run and spent the rest of the day repainting our porch. Today's title, from one of my favourite Jonathan Richman songs, felt appropriate. Hope everyone's day was as free and easy. For the Jays, the season, too, is drawing to a close. Today it's Vernon Wells getting the day off, with Jose Bautista manning...

Hi everyone. I missed yesterday's game as I went to RFK Stadium to catch the DC United match, which didn't exactly end well, although it was as always a fantastic atmosphere. Anyway, it sounds like I missed an exciting Jays game. Today's game should be an interesting one too. Ricky Romero and Rick Porcello go at it in a battle of rookie 1st-round draft picks. I'm sure jessef would want me to remind...
