Is it the height of conceit to display a photograph of oneself reading one’s own book in an attempt to lure people into buying said book? Quite possibly it is. Regardless, I’m pleased to announce that the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual is now available. You can buy it as a hard copy or a PDF […]

You know the rules. Go nuts:
I am a former third-round draft pick.
I am a former minor-league teammate of Jim Thome.
My first big-league hit came against San Diego’s Andy Benes.
I own a career batting average of .300 or better, and that’s no small sample — we’re talking 2000+ plate apearances.
After my playing […]

I finally got to see some baseball this weekend. Friday night I watched University of San Diego left-hander Brian Matusz struggle with his command as crosstown rival San Diego State University came out on top, 11-2. Matusz is projected to go early in the first round […]
Brock for Broglio has an interview up with Shawn Hoffman of Squawking Baseball. I’ll ‘fess up right away: before reading this interview, I’d never heard of Hoffman or his site, but I’ll be paying closer attention going forward.
Here’s some sage advice for the fantasy players out there:

Just a few items of note for you this afternoon:
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard won his arbitration case and has been awarded $10 million for 2008. This is the largest amount ever received by a victorious player.
You may be aware that my colleague, Hunter Pence, was injured in a freak accident earlier this week. […]
I don’t know why I’ve become so fascinated with prospects from years gone by, but I have. My latest article at Hardball Times looks back at the Pacific Coast League circa 1988: names like Craig Biggio, Terry Francona, Edgar Martinez. Good times…

#91-100
#81-90
Welcome back to 1998. Dante Bichette led MLB with 219 hits, Jose Offerman led with 13 triples, and Mike Piazza signed a record-setting 7-year/$91 million deal with the Mets. Our latest re-examination of Baseball America’s top 100 prospects from that year shows yet again how few of the best minor leaguers convert their potential into […]

This week we return to the current era. Outfielder Jeffrey Hammonds starred at Stanford from 1990 to 1992, playing alongside Mike Mussina, among other, less notable future big leaguers.
The Baltimore Orioles selected Hammonds with the fourth pick overall in the 1992 draft, two slots before the New York Yankees nabbed a […]
I shouldn’t be so cynical just as spring training is getting underway, but MLB is kind of forcing my hand. Maybe if I get it out of the way now…
