I always had the vibe that Ugueth was wrongly convicted Maybe not wrongly convicted, but rather more to the story than we got I think.

Anyone who sends in a blank ballot as a statement with the talent on there should have their voting privileges revoked.

There's no bigger group of knobs than the HOF comittee/BBWA Here here. I swear, if Piazza and Bagwell aren't inducted (and the others like Bonds honestly) next year I'm thinking of a massive letter writing campaign. Enough is enough.

I can't help but wonder- would we be better off if Bonds never hit 73 in a season, he had fallen a few short (say he hit 65-68) and McGwire's 70 was still the single-season record?

On a blog. Someone's been tracking the writers articles. Apparently it's not accurate though. Delcos voted for Piazza and he's not marked at a Piazza vote.

Hideki Matsui has announced his retirement. Matsui was a pretty solid ballplayer. Scared the crap out of me at the beginning of his career

Hell of a career for Godzilla. He's probably a lock for the Japanese baseball hall of fame (assuming there is one; I really don't know much about Japanese baseball). Shame his American career was too short and not nearly as amazing as his Japanese one for him to end up in Cooperstown.

Anybody get a chance to check out the new batting practice caps the whole league had to put out this year? espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/16228/first-look-new-mlb-batting-practice-capsWow, Braves bringing back the screaming chief face. Yikes. Kind of annoyed at the Mets using orange brims, but apparently most of the league is going for the contrasting crown/brim look. Just annoyed they're also doing it on their new alternate caps they're going to wear with their solid blue jerseys. They're solid blue! Wear your solid blue caps with them!

Does anyone know if there is a good book or a website that keeps track of managerial tendencies?
I know Bill James had a book on managers but its about 15 years old now. I am interested in that kind of stuff, such as who leaves in their starters longer, what kind of players do they prefer (power vs. speed), when do they pinch run. You know, stuff like that.

It's the Japanese Baseball Hall Of Fame and Museum. Interestingly enough, the first player to be inducted wasn't even a full-fledged Japanese: Victor Starffin (right handed pitcher in his time) was born in Russia and his family moved to Japan after the Russian Revolution.

According to Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post, though Adam LaRoche's preference is to re-sign with the Nationals, he is "talking to a few other teams".
