5/23/2013: Mariner catcher of the future Mike Zunino will have new company in AAA, as the team has pulled the trigger on demoting underperforming Jesus Montero.

Not that it'll matter much in the big picture, but the Marlins have announced that they're temporarily expecting to use a sort of closer-by-committee system to take pressure off the beleaguered Steve Cishek. Should the team have a late lead to protect for the next while, Mike Dunn, and Chad Qualls, along with Cishek, are all possible candidates now. Cishek is likely to take the job back eventually.
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.
