The good doctor returns with some interesting notes on Khalil Greene, Troy Percival and Mike Maroth.
Between now and Opening Day, I hope to mine the data of baseball statistics from last year to bring you at least one interesting nugget from each team. Some of this information will be genuinely useful to know, and some of it will be pure meaningless fun, so don't take it too seriously. I'm not trying to recreate the Elias Baseball Analyst here; I don't worship at the altar of the small sample size. But I hope these findings whet your appetite for the statistical smörgåsbord that starts once again on March 25th. (Yes, March 25th. We must have been very good this year.)

Rany comes clean about an obsession with the knuckler, and his active interest in the best prospect to throw it in years.
It's no secret that I'm a fan of the knuckleball and the men who throw it. Among the many clues I have left in my wake, the most obvious is the time I ignored the objections of a few…okay, all of my colleagues, and attached Charlie Zink to the bottom of our Top 50 Prospects list three years ago.

Rany looks past the Braves' last bargain deal with Andruw Jones to an even worse contract for a player.
And few lists are more fun to break out than the list of the worst free-agent contracts of all time. We love any excuse to mock owners for their reckless decisions; plus, as fans, we have a morbid sense of pride in having been forced to taste the bitter fruit of those moves. Darren Dreifort ,
