A Few Tidbits From Aorund the Web: Baseball is Back!

MLB baseball has officially returned to its oh so important spot in our lives. This means it is time to obsess over small sample sizes, Ichiro's unorthodox approach and the pointless nature of pitcher wins. It also means it is time for me to share a bunch of links to interesting things happening in the baseball world.

• It turns out pitcher wins and loses arent the only stat that doesnt accurately represent a pithers success. Dave Cameron of Fangraphs makes the case for eliminating saves.
• A highlight of early season baseball are the Mariners commercials.
• One of my favorite columnists, Jerry Brewer, writes about the long rebuilding process in Seattle.
• Even in this young season history is being made. Jonathan Broxton had one of the most unique blown saves in Major League history when he plunked back to back batters to force in a run and lose the game.
