Evaluating April MLB Predictions (2008)
— vegaswatch.net — We did this last year , in a couple parts. It quickly became obvious that the computer... projections are much more accurate than those of ESPN's analysts; not at all surprising, considering the various methods used.

Sorry, Steve. 2nd Place is the First Loser
— huggingharoldreynolds.blogspot.com — Our trusty New Era once again proved as accurate in picking winners as ESPN's baseball gurus. Sure,... we all loved the Josh Hamilton show, but the idea was to pick the winner, not the runner-up. (more) Sorry, Steve. 2nd Place is the First Loser

Well, the hat's back. Shortly, sluggers will step into the batters box for the HR Derby. As such, the 4-Letter's talking heads made their predictions. So did ... (more) Steve Philips vs. the Hat
