Around SBN: Following UFC 146 Loss, Jason 'Mayhem' Miller 'Done' in UFC

Chris Schwinden, 24, Mets (+43). He became the Mets' version of Axelrod -- or their next version of Dillon Gee, whom I red flagged last year before he hit a second-half wall (5.25 ERA). The Mets were supposed to give one courtesy September appearance to Schwinden, a guy with an underwhelming fastball who has become an overachiever, but because of injuries on the staff he made four of them to go well beyond his previous high, from 2009.

I like articles like this

I just wish the included a baseline stat to compare it. What’s the average injury rate/regression of young guys who stay within their inning workload?

I just think there were a couple high profile examples

So he decided to run with it. Did you know that Derek Jeter is a clutch hitter?

The Verducci Effect

Is generally overstated. And I don’t know if Dillon Gee really ‘hit the wall’ or just ‘saw his ERA rergress closer in line with his DIPS’

Not only overstated

but has been debunked. Verducci cherry-picks guys who had great years, then when they fail to reach those same goals, he claims to have been proven correct.

not just cherry picked

The guys who throw lots of innings and increase their inning load dramatically they almost always did so by staying deep in games by outperforming their peripherals. They therefore tend to regress.

two easy articles per year at minimum

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!
