Young trying to curb running game

 

Published 3/13/2008 by Mark Thoma at Major League Baseball News

Padres righty Chris Young is tall, and thus slow to the plate. Last season all 44 runners who attemped to steal a base while he was on the mound were successful. But Young has been working on the problem, and didn't allow a runner to steal Wednesday against the Giants. [link]

Another Look at a Reggie Willits Trade

A straight-up deal of Justin Germano for Willits is very interesting. The Angels have room in their bullpen for Germano if he doesn’t make the rotation, but the Padres likely won't.

Colt Morton Making His Case Known

chadgramling posted 3/13/2008 from www.baseballinfortwayne.com

A few years ago, the player on my personal Wizards Watch list was Colt Morton. He intrigued me because he was in a third stint. I don’t think he hit over .150 in the first two tries, but in 2005, he hit .261 with 10 home runs and 46 runs batted in over 222 at-bats. Nowadays, his power is what is drawing attention from many observers.
