Pinstripe Alley did a little Q & A with Frankie Piliere of Fanhouse. They discuss Hector Noesi, Jesus Montero, and a few other topics.

Alex Pedicini analyzed the MLB draft using WAR over at The Hardball Times. The major takeaway is no surprise: first round college hitters tend to be the most productive of all draft picks.

I was invited to the Bloomberg Sports luncheon where they introduced the Fantasy Baseball consumer product. Luckily, IIATMS, RAB, and Fack Youk all attended and shed some light on the product.

Matt Imbrogno at TYU looks for a middle ground in the various projections for Joba Chamberlain. The averages produce a 4.10 ERA and 8.81 K/9 over 153 innings. If he stays healthy, he'll throw more inning than that. Either way, I'll sign up for a 4.10 ERA any day.

Back in August, I took a look at how "unclutch" Robinson Cano is. SG at RLYW delved into the same question and came up with a much better and more thorough response.

So go and check all of these out... they're worth your time.
