I’ve written about USD left-hander Josh Romanski before, and this morning at Cunningham Stadium, he did something I’d never seen anyone do in person: he no-hit Harvard. I can’t find a box score, so I don’t know how many strikeouts he had, but it was a lot. Romanski benefited from one spectacular diving play by […]
I broke my right ankle when I was 15. I broke my right orbital bone (beneath the eye) when I was 26. Only two bones I’ve ever broken in my life — both playing softball.
But we’re not here to talk about me. We’re looking today at players who are injury risks in 2008. And when […]
My preview of the Padres is up at Hardball Times. One issue I touch on is the uncertainty at the back end of San Diego’s rotation:
Last year the Padres brought in Greg Maddux and David Wells. One of those worked out real well, the other not so much. This year it’s Randy Wolf and Mark […]

And now, back to our regularly scheduled program, already in progress…
I am a former first-round pick.
One of my minor-league teammates is now a big-league general manager.
Another is now a big-league manager.
I reached double digits in homers six five times in my career.
In a sense, you might think of me as the […]
According to ESPN, the Detroit Tigers have inked “third baseman” Miguel Cabrera to an 8-year, $153 million contract extension. With the understanding that the economics of baseball are inherently insane, this strikes me as pretty darned good value.
Cabrera was my dark horse candidate for MVP in 2007, and although it didn’t quite work out that […]
Saber-Scouting, a relatively new blog I discovered via Hardball Times, uses AB/BB to examine the level of play in various professional leagues. I find this line of inquiry fascinating (I’ve done something similar with defense in the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual), and I look forward to reading more from the folks at Saber-Scouting in the […]
The good folks at Razzball were kind enough to have me write a preview of the 2008 San Diego Padres. This one comes from a fantasy angle. A small sample:
Scott Hairston hit everything thrown his way after coming to the Padres late last summer. The question with Hairston is whether he can sustain that over […]

I think 1998 is right around when I first started to realize how difficult it is to develop a big-league catcher. Five backstops made Baseball America’s Top 100 prospects that year, and none of ‘em did much. Still, this latest batch includes a former home-run champion and a Cy Young Award winner…

Alexei Ramirez is one of the latest Cuban defectors to land in a big-league organization. He played second base in the game I saw, and didn’t do much to distinguish himself one way or the other, but some folks think he’ll end up in the outfield. As you can see, Ramirez has quite the uppercut […]
You know we love our knuckleballers here at Knuckle Curve. So does ESPN’s Jim Caple, who actually got into gear and caught Seattle Mariners right-hander R.A. Dickey:
I knew I was in trouble when Dickey and I were playing catch to warm up and one of his throws tipped off my glove and whizzed past my […]
