This information is rather beneficial. I like how you write it.

Jim,

I almost view spring training stats in the same light that I view college stats: between the sample sizes and the drastically varying levels of competition, it’s difficult to put too much stock in them. It’s certainly a positive that he’s gotten off to a good start, but I wouldn’t get too excited just yet.

I know spring training should be disregarded when trying to project a player’s season, but Bailey has had 2 very good outings so far. Should we take this as a grain of salt or could he finally be coming around?

He’s in love with his fastball. Batters hit something like .390 against him last year with 2 strikes. That is ridiculous- your not in high school any more son. Try a curve or a change with 2 strikes?

SARASOTA, Fla. — It’s always strange how baseball injuries happen in the most unexpected of ways — and times.

Homer Bailey, Exhibit A. Two off-season incidents were, uh, scary.

First, while fooling with a hunting bow in October, a string snapped between the index and middle fingers of his pitching hand.

“Seven stitches,” he said. “I put the last stitch in myself and took them all out two weeks later.

He took the stitches out himself! This is all you need to know about Homer Bailey. It’s not his stuff it’s his head that keeps him from being a great pitcher. If he would listen, and allow himself to be coached, he’d already be the 5th starter.
