Lawsuit filed over minor league pay
This one will be interesting to watch. http://online.wsj.com/articles...J_hp_RightTopStories During his days as a minor-league pitcher, Garrett Broshuis figured that the long bus rides, late-night workouts and meager pay were trade-offs for a chance to someday pitch in the big leagues. He also believed those working conditions might be illegal. Five years after hanging up his glove and spikes, Mr. Broshuis is putting that theory to the test. Earlier this year, the 32-year-old, now a lawyer...

Strike percentage on 1-1 pitches
I read the article about Max Scherzer and was intrigued by the “advanced stat” of strike percentage on 1-1 counts they were talking about, so I spent a little time seeing what it would look like for our guys. I threw 1st pitch strikes on the report just to see how that compared with the 1-1 strikes because in essence it’s a 0-0 count. As you can see, I also ran it for our opponents too. I’m not sure yet what I think about it, but as always, to me its interesting.
