   by Joe Tevelowitz, AngelsWin.com Columnist - This past weekend, I was lucky enough to be one of the sports data denizens in attendance at the 8th Annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. A great event overall, providing me an opportunity to ask Phil Jackson a question (via tweet and through Jackie MacMullan), watch Malcolm Gladwell grill Adam Silver on unfair tax breaks for team owners, and grab a sweet pic with Lakers owner and Future Mrs. Tevelowitz, Jeannie Buss. Despite a large basketball contingent grabbing many of the highlights and prime panel spots of the weekend, baseball –- the sport that first embraced analytics and its activists – made its own i…

    Angels Official Website: Ready or not, Skaggs could be key for Angels

    There's no question Tyler Skaggs could be a huge piece for the Angels in 2014. If he's not <i>the</i> part that gets them back to the postseason, he could very well elevate a decent starting rotation into a special one. If that happens, the Angels almost certainly will be in the mix for a playoff berth. View the full article

    Masterson and his agent, Randy Rowley, have made a three- to four-year proposal to the Indians believed to be in the $40 million to $60 million range. They are waiting to hear back from the team. http://www.cleveland.com/tribe/index.ssf/2014/03/justin_masterson_makes_multiye.html And if that's true, the Indians should probably take it like now.

    Veteran right-hander once threw in the mid-90s, much like his younger counterpart does now, before gradually losing velocity. But they believe that there is more to pitching than throwing hard. TEMPE, Ariz. — Jered Weaver was just like Garrett Richards a few years back, a young buck with the mound bravado that often accompanies a 95-mph fastball. View the full article
