 It’s a cool, calm night in Pittsburgh on July 26, 2008. The wind barely makes a howl even with the open windows which have no glass anyway. Owner Robert Nutting, President Frank Coonelly and GM Neal Huntington sit around a fake fireplace at Nutting’s mansion.

 The computer that can run my linear regressions is currently missing a power cord, so we'll have to go back to some quick-and-dirty buy-low analysis here. We'll take a look, now that the season is pretty much exactly half-way done, and identify some buy-low players based on their BABIPs and line drive percentages. If you have a decent line drive rate and a lousy BABIP, you're due for a little correction. You might have heard this before.

 A road map through the minefield of a baseball mind
We have so many numbers we love… Baseball is a game of numbers. As fans when we describe players we almost always invoke numbers in the description. Some of our favorite statistics are among the least useful in truly evaluating a player’s worth to his team but that hasn’t changed our tendency to use them anyway.

 Fehr or Foul
In terms of player representatives, Donald Fehr may forever last as maybe the best of the bunch. Constantly fighting the old-school owners in the baseball monopoly, Fehr drove players’ salaries up from its now-meager totals in the early 1980s. As executive director, he’s done a tremendous job winning virtually every argument against the owners. And perhaps that’s why his legacy will also remain tarnished with time.

Two Start Pitchers 6/29 – 7/5 Aces Ricky Nolasco - Florida Marlins - vs. Was, vs. Pit He’s back…. Nolasco has been solid since returning from the minors, allowing just five earned runs over 25 innings while collecting 25 strikeouts! (2-0, 1.80 ERA, 1.12 WHIP) He should continue this dominance as he’ll face two weak line-ups in the Nationals & Pirates.

 A Road Map Through the Minefield of a Baseball Mind
There is a secret list of names… Only now it is not so secret. This list consists of the names of 104 baseball players who, in the year 2003, were tested and found to have tested positive for the presence of banned substances within their bodies. Two of the names have been leaked to the public recently, which leads one to speculate that eventually the entire list will be revealed.

AcesRyan Dempster - Chicago Cubs - @ Atl, @ CWS
Dempster has a 1.38 ERA, 1.11 WHIP in his last four starts with only one win to show for due to the fact that the Cubbies have struggled with their bats. In those four starts the Cubbies are batting .207 producing only eight runs over Dempster’s 26 innings of work. The Cubbies bats seem to have come alive this past week, scoring 21 runs with three walk off wins in four games, meaning Dempster should be in line for a two-win week.

 I hear he’ll round third before his bat touches the ground
Bryce Harper. Remember that name. Well, actually, forget it, because that name will be repeatedly beaten over and over and OVER into your brain over the next eleven months until the 2010 draft.
