Yes, we actually classified every pitch
Long term PITCHf/x data has always been difficult to find online. There are several existing sources available: Fangraphs has some of it, but not everything you might want (I’m sure they will tomorrow, just for that). Texas Leaguer has had a fantastic tool up for quite some time now, but still, there are places it lacks functionality. Josh Kalk used to have a wonderful website...

New York Yankees And Their Pitching Staff
Spring Training is fast approaching, just over two weeks away. I thought this would be a good time to take a look at the Yankees pitching staff. The Yankees have seven starting pitchers for five spots. As of right now they didn’t make any trades to change that and don’t appear like they are going too. The old saying is you never can have enough pitching and it...

Post Up: Back On My Grizzy
by Abe Schwadron | @abe_squad
I was in the building last night for the Knicks’ blowout win over the Pistons, 113-86, as was CC Sabathia (no, we didn’t sit together sadly), so we might as well start there on a night with seven NBA games on tap. Madison Square Garden is the most famous basketball arena on the planet. So it’s sad when a crap basketball game is played...

Ten Pitchers Who Deserve Long-Term Extensions
The new trend in Major League Baseball is to lock up your young, cost-controlled talent to long-term deals. In the past, teams seemed hesitant to do that with pitchers, but they're starting to become a little more loose with that idea. In recent years, guys like Felix Hernandez, CC Sabathia, Jered Weaver, and CJ Wilson have all gotten long-term deals as starters, be it from their...

The New York Yankees surplus of pitching
The New York Yankees in one day this offseason turned what many thought to be a weakness into a strength. There is a problem with that though, the Yankees have seven starting pitchers going for five spots. CC Sabathia is the ace of the staff and Ivan Nova is the up and coming young pitcher who isn’t going anywhere so that leaves the other five for three spots. I would...

2012 Fantasy Baseball New York Yankees Starting Rotation Preview
CC Sabathia (credits below) The Yankees starting pitching staff scored a nice coup in the off season as they resigned ace CC Sabathia and added 2011 rookie phenom Michael Pineda. Freddie Garcia will be brought back also as the only real loss the staff will suffer is with Bartolo Colon now in Oakland. With a rock solid bullpen in place the starters need only to pitch six solid innings...

A batting lineup of pitchers
1.) George Uhle: Uhle might have played an everyday position had he not pitched so well, inventing the slider, once walking a batter to strike out Babe Ruth, and winning 200 games lifetime. One of a handful of pitchers with more than 10 offensive WAR for his career, Uhle hit .289 in his career with a .339 on-base percentage and 21 triples. His speed and contact hitting earns him...
