Links: Scouring Them Internets So You Don't Have To

  • Conversation between SI's Joe Posnanski and stat guru Bill James about Randy Johnson, who will be going for his 300th win soon. They compare him to the three other beyond-dominate pitchers of the Steroids Era: Pedro, Clemens*, and Maddux. 
  • Ted Keith of SI puts together his dream team of young players and chooses Joe Mauer at catcher. An argument for McCann can definitely be made: he's one year younger, doesn't have the injury history of Mauer, and hits for more power (career SLG .503 vs. .474). However, Mauer is (much) better definisively and if he can get close to keeping his HR pace this year (11 in 100 PA), he becomes the clear choice. 
  • Tommy Hanson makes Baseball America's Hot Sheet this week. Why? How's 13 IP, 3 H, O R, 16 K, and 2 BB sound?
  • ESPN360 is coming to Comcast at an unspecified date (in time for college football). On a related note, Comcast executives still eat puppies.
