This is the first edition, so it will have some pretty basic must-see links. So it's likely that you've seen some -- or maybe even all of these links. But it will get deeper as the weeks go by, so stay tuned.
- Madison Bumgarner apparently takes very little time in between pitches. He ranked 9th among NL pitchers with at least 500 pitches for the shortest time in between pitches.
- Visual Baseball is a very cool website which produces baseball-related charts and graphics. For example, here's a graphic showing how good the Giants were in 2010 in various categories relative to the other major-league teams.
- Joe Posnanski, a writer for Sports Illustrated, asked Yankees fans the question: "If you could trade Derek Jeter tomorrow to Florida for Hanley Ramirez, would you do it?" The results were pretty interesting.
- Here's an awesome San Francisco Giants 2010 playoff video complete with epic music and the most memorable moments.
- This is a pretty well-known website, so I doubt you haven't heard of it. But in the off-chance that you aren't aware of HitTrackerOnline, it's a must-see: it tracks every home run with graphs, distance data, links to videos of the home runs, etc.
- MLBTradeRumors explains why young starters are signed to contract extensions.
- I'm not sure if I've posted this on SplashingPumpkins before, but it's a classic. Buster Posey guns down a would-be basestealer then says "I ain't havin' it."
- I've definitely posted this here before, and you've most likely heard of it, but there's a Facebook fan page entitled "Brian Wilson Should Host SNL." Join the revolution.
- Whether you like it or not, Brian Wilson has gotten the second-widest strike zone in baseball over the last two years, behind Livan Hernandez.
If you know/have an interesting baseball-related link, by all means tell us about it.
