Grag Maddux -- Quitter
Hoops and Other Pop Culturehttp://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3748249. His mediocre 11-12 post-season mark aside, many of Maddux's accomplishments are simply breathtaking. Let me give you examples: Of pitchers who started their careers after World War I, he is #2 on the all-time wins list (trailing only Warren Spahn). Since Spahn pitched games in 1942 (before going to war) Maddux is #1 in wins amongst any pitcher in the history of the game who started his career after World War II. From 1988 through 2006, he never had one single year where his ERA was higher ...

Winter Meetings, Day 1, Open Thread
Bucs Dugout — The Tigers and Pirates will meet sometime early in the Winter Meetings, which begin today, to discuss a trade for Jack Wilson, the Post-Gazette reports. The same article also reports that the Pirates may be interested in signing corner-guy Kevin Millar. There was a time when Millar was a very underrated player, but now he's 37 and has little left except walks and a bit of power. In the past three seasons, his batting average has dropped from .272 to .254 to .234, and that's a warning sign for a player his age. Also in the Post-Gazette, Dejan Kovacevic describes the scene at the Winter Meetings. Finally, Greg ...
