... Scott "Show and Blow" Shoeneweis, he of the three-year, $10.8 million contract, is on the hotseat for a wee bit of mail-ordering he did. So there are now as many questions about Shoeneweis' signing as there are about the spelling of his last name. But, contrary to what many fans think, this doesn't make signing Chadbrad to a similar contract any less ill-advised. Relievers are never a sure thing. But I want to point out something we learned in June that fans seem to forget: Blow was or is pitching with a ...

LW/MFW: Human growth hormone is a powerful medicine used to treat dwarfism in children and AIDS wasting disease. It is illegal to use the drug without a valid prescription and a doctor s supervision. It also is illegal for doctors to prescribe growth hormone for uses not specifically approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Performance enhancement is not an approved use. It defies credibility that the shipments Byrd received stopped around January of 2005, when baseball forbade the use of HGH, and it further deflates his case that regardless of whether or not he had legitimate prescriptions from a doctor at any point, he also obtained prescriptions from a dentist (who likely had no business prescribing for the condition Byrd describes), which would be considered illegal. He is the latest to proffer an excuse for recovery or a deficiency; Scott Schoenweis supporters ...

Looking Back, Looking Forward (Part 3: Relief Pitching)

... : I was puzzled when Schoeneweis was given a 3-year deal, and after watching him pitch for a year, I can’t say I’m excited about what he’ll do in 2008 and 2009. Schoeneweis walked 28 batters and gave up 8 home runs in 59 innings. He was tattooed by right-handed batters (.316/.390/.574), and while he fared better against lefties, limiting them to a .247 slugging percentage, he still let more than 30% of them reach base. Unfortunately, Willie Randolph seemed blind to the platoon splits, as nearly 60% of the batters Schoeneweis faced were right-handed. He’s expensive, he’s only useful as a lefty specialist in situations where a walk won’t kill you, and he’s recently been linked to the Signature Pharmacy steroid scandal. Did I mention he’s under contract for two more years? ...
