Fantasy Baseball 2012: Starting Pitcher Tiers
Your fantasy baseball drafts are right around the corner. Here’s my attempt at separating 40 starting pitchers into eight tiers.
Tiers are very subjective and one player could easily be considered just good enough or just bad enough to be in the next higher or lower tier.
Let me know what you think. Also check out my fantasy baseball first basemen tiers, second basemen...

You always think of New York as a Yankees town, but this parade was proof that there are plenty of Giants fans out there. The streets were absolutely flooded with people. I hope everyone had a historic day. The parade speeches by the players — yikes.

Kershawing: Guidelines For Being The Best Pitcher an Orginization Could Ask For
At first, there was “Tebowing.”
And then came “Bradying.”
And now, there is “Kershawing.”
Behind this glove lies the secrets to his humble "Kershawing"
Here’s how to “Kershaw:”
1. Make $500,000 in 2011

Kershaw's win-win extension
Yesterday, Clayton Kershaw signed a two year extension with the Los Angeles Dodgers that will pay him $19 million over the deal. He'll get $7.5 million this season for his age 24 season and $11 million next year for his age 25 season, with one year of arbitration left in 2014.
At first glance, this seems like an excellent deal for the Dodgers. Tim Lincecum got $23 million for...

Tim Lincecum loses 22 pounds by swimming, cuts back on fast food
Do Giants fans really want to hear that their star pitcher lost weight during the offseason? Tim Lincecum has always managed to throw smoke despite looking like he’s a meal away from emaciation. They don’t call him The Freak for no reason. However, Lincecum claims he is down to 175 pounds from 197 last season. If you want to believe that this dude weighed 197 pounds during...

Q&A: Logan White, Draft Dodger
It is no coincidence that the top six prospects in the Dodgers organization are pitchers, and that five of them were drafted out of high school. Logan White is in charge of the team’s amateur scouting department, and he might be the best in the business when it comes to analyzing and projecting young hurlers. He is certainly more willing than most to take a prep pitcher in the...

Interview: Ron Wotus
I asked Ron Wotus about the Giants’ defense. Specifically, I wondered how much of their recent success was due to keen defensive positioning and how much was just the result of talented defensive players. I also asked him about how the Giants utilize video and such in organizing their defense. What follows is a transcript of the interview…

2012 Top Prospects #1
Not too much pressure, Gary Brown. None at all.
Look, I’m not trying to say that the Giants are in a rebuilding mode (They’re clearly not. They are built to win in 2012…), but the performance of certain prospects are as important this year for the immediate future as they’ve ever been.
Two-thirds of the expected starting outfield are free agents, in Angel...
