Young Power Lefties for 2010
— rotosavants.com — Head over to THT for my new Clone Wars as I look at Jonathan Sanchez and Clayton Kershaw . This was a bit different from my usual post as I went for pitchers who are very similar in numbers like K/9 and BB/9, but had much different results so far. This could be very useful in 2010.  ...

Derek Jeter wins Gold Glove in "most improved" category - assist to Mark Teixeira
— rotosavants.com — Derek Jeter won his fourth Gold Glove this week and it wasn't even that bad of a choice by the voters.

Aroldis Chapman and a bucket of cold water
— ywacademy.com — The Red Sox have already shown some interest in 21 year old recent Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman, but perhaps we should look a bit further than the drool inducing lefty with a 100+ MPH fastball. This should be enough to draw a lot of teams and scouts. There has even been talk he could reach the ... (more) Aroldis Chapman and a bucket of cold water

Lars Anderson's Lost Season
— ywacademy.com — 2009 has become the season Lars Anderson seems to have lost his top prospect status for the Red Sox. His power has all but disappeared and now it looks like his on base skills have vanished too. He was expected to be the 2010 prospect we should all be salivating over, but that is no longer the case (more) Lars Anderson's Lost Season
