Bring Them Up Early
River Ave. Blues live blogged a good pitching performance by Philip Hughes today. That jibes nicely with a post at Red Leg Nation that links to a Nate Silver piece on good young pitchers (not sure if a subscription is required). Basically, the idea is that if a team owns a pitcher who is lights out in the minors, bring him up and start his major league career, because they don't get much better after age 21. Leaving them in the minors only puts them closer to an injury when they get to the majors. Based on that, Bailey and Hughes should be in the majors this season.
Baseball Musings is holding a pledge drive in March.

That's got to be the least informative live blog of all time.
Why thank you Johan, I do try.
It ain't my fault Hughes' outings are uneventful (in a good way).
