How I Got To “Know” Tom Filer
by Brian Joseph
For the first time since joining Seamheads, I did not spend the week formulating my Saturday appearance on the site.

The Decline Of 20-Game Winners: A Lack Of Quality Not Quantity

While I still hold to my earlier posts that 300-game winners are not dead yet, there is serious cause for concern with the disappearance of consistent, high quality starting pitching.
