Zito shaved almost 10.00 runs of his ERA in the regular season. Ergo, he’s good for a -3.56 ERA this year.

I remember watching a game on tv after the Rockies traded Neifi. Juan Uribe had taken over for him.

“A lot of Rockies fans were really upset they traded Neifi,” the announcer said. “But in retrospect, it may have been a smart move. Word is, the Rockies front office thinks Juan Uribe may be even better.”

The Return of The Kids

From Hank:

There’s an interesting story here. For years, the Giants were under the assumption that once they optioned a player to the minors during spring training they could not use him in a major-league exhibition game.

It turns out they can. The only risk is, if the player gets injured he has to be paid his major-league salary, $400,000 and change, or about twice as much as his minor-league pay. Also up from the minors again are pitchers Tim Alderson and Madison Bumgarner.

Nice. ESRI platform?

How did you get into GIS? I kind of fell into it with my job. I do crime mapping and some other analysis with it. I’m a newbie, but I’m learning.

by xanthan on Mar 17, 2009 1:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yup. ESRI’s Arc packages. I actually was doing some CAD stuff and sent out a bunch of resumes to anyone accepting while going to school. An environmental consultant hired me without me knowing what that actually was. While here I just learned any software being used that looked interesting, which obviously included ESRI.
