2/2/2012: The Cubs have stolen Gerardo Concepcion, who was rumored to be on his way to the Yankees, with at least $7M in guaranteed salary, according to CBS Sports. Concepcion is an advanced teenage lefthander who could break out in the Cubs bullpen as early as 2012. More on Concepcion >
The Phillies added some inning-eating bullpen help by signing free agent Chad Qualls to a one year deal today, according to ESPN. Qualls is no spring chicken, but he's as reliable as they get when it comes to eating up middle innings and inducing ground balls.
ScoutingBook.com is the backyard toolshed of a handful of swell fellas (and one sassy lady) who live, work or breathe baseball, information processing, online gaming, economic theory, infographicology, or some combination of those things.
We made it to combine our overlapping work for our own benefit and amusement. If it's useful to you, too, that's a bonus.

It wears on you, doesn't it? Knowing that there are half a dozen unpaid and underfed volunteers working inside our sweatshop to produce the helpful numbers and snarky commentary that you, needy reader, are enjoying for free. If you feel guilty enough, send us some support.
(We're just regular unpaid people, not some big fancy corporation. We promise to waste any money we receive on beer, pizza and baseball-related toys.)
