And some links:
- The Giants' Big Flaw | Fangraphs
It’d be well worth their while to start shopping around and seeing whether they can convert some of the depth they have at other positions into a real Major League shortstop. Call me crazy, but I think a team trying to win the NL West should have at least one on the roster.
- Breaking Down Tim Alderson's Delivery | Pirates Prospects
The problem I see with Alderson is that he's taking too small of a step, then using too much energy going from a crouched position to an upright position. From there, when he's throwing, it's the same as if he was warming up in the bullpen before a start. He's not following through, which indicates that his momentum isn't being transferred from his back leg to his pitching arm.
- Stacking Up The NL's Fifth Starters | Beyond the Box Score
[Barry Zito]'s making $18.5 million, which is outrageous for a No. 5 starter, but that doesn't make him worthless. You know he's good for 190+ innings, which has value, and at this point he projects as a 2 WAR pitcher. Most teams would take that from a fifth starter.
