What We Know So Far…

Memorial Day is one of the traditional benchmarks for a major league baseball season. Division races begin to take the shape they are likely to resemble for the rest of the season and player stats are more likely to resemble those that are projected forward according to their current pace.

The New Moneyball

Those that read Moneyball remember it well. You had the case of Scott Hatteberg. Hatteberg moved from behind the dish to first base because he could no longer throw effectively.

Pete’s Picks: AL West
