Around SBN: Ray Allen Fighting Age, Injury And His New Role

Scott Kazmir, LHP, Rays (High-A Charlotte)
Wednesday's stats: 4.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K
Kazmir looked sharp in his first game since May 20, after which he hit the disabled list with a strained quadriceps, but also took some time to work with former pitching coach Rick Peterson to tweak his mechanics.

Goldstein. Sorry to bring up all these former players, but I found this note interesting, considering all the mythology about Peterson and the trade.

reportedly made the trip to Charlotte, specifically to tell Kazmir to turn down the volume on his boombox.

Looks like the Biomechanics "fixed" him

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.

people are always ragging on that trade

but Fortunato could still pay off…

He’s tearing it up with the St George Roadrunners in the Golden Baseball League.

I tried to put that trade in the depths of my mind

But looking at his win values really hurt. In 2005, as a 21 year old, he was worth 3.8 WAR. He followed that up with a 3.9 and 5.2 campaigns in ’06 and ’07. :-(

Obviously not trading him would have had a ripple effect

but if somehow we had held onto him but everything else had stayed the same, I think the Mets win 100+ in ’06 and win the World Series with ease. :-(

Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
Jon Rauch is awesome. Dan Tanna is, obviously, a fan of Greg Pomes.
