Lincecum named Clutch player for June
"Lincecum has helped the Giants, who lead the National League Wild Card standings, maintain a good groove. All but one of his June victories followed a San Francisco defeat."
Couldn't have done that without Jonathan Sanchez.

# Pitches vs. Innings Pitched, etc.
In the last 20 years or so, there's greater awareness of the effect of pitch counts and innings pitched on pitchers, especially young pitchers. In thinking about these trends, some questions have slowly been forming in my sabernovice mind: Are pitch counts and innings essentially interchangeable, wrt to effects on pitchers' health? Doesn't seem reasonable, since some innings are done in 10 pitches while others can go 30. But what's worse for a pitcher's health, a 2 inning/60 pitch outing, or a 6 inning/60 pitch outing? Or is the effect the same, so that only pitch count matters? Has this type of thing been analyzed anywhere? Is it a simple matter of pitches per inning vs. some factor of innings pitched? That's sorta circular, I know, because innings/innings would just leave us with total pitches, but I'm trying to get my brain around an idea that I'm pretty sure I don't fully grasp. Is that muddled enough, or should I go on?

The Giants Should Sign Barry Bonds
"The NL West looks relatively wide open entering 2009. The Dodgers signed Manny Ramirez to solidify the middle of their batting order Wednesday. The Giants have a decent lineup, but lack a power presence in the middle. Barry Bonds still wants to play baseball, and considering how little interest he's netted the past two years, he'd probably sign a relatively cheap contract.
Considering all the above factors, and also considering how beloved Bonds was in San Francisco despite his many shortcomings as a man, the Giants should sign him to bat in the middle of their order this season. There, I said it."

Bonds trial faces long delay for appeal
"SAN FRANCISCO -- And so the Barry Bonds saga rages on. With little end in sight.
What once seemed like closure on the horizon -- a perjury trial for baseball's home run king set to begin Monday, nearly six years after the BALCO scandal first erupted -- now has been put on indefinite hold.
The government announced Friday its intention to appeal pretrial rulings that would keep out significant pieces of evidence, bringing the case to a screeching halt despite Judge Susan Illston's chastising prosecutors for even considering an appeal at the 11th hour..."
