TimeSpan.FromDays Method
Returns a TimeSpan that represents a specified number of days, where the specification is accurate to the nearest millisecond.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
- value
- Type: System.Double
A number of days, accurate to the nearest millisecond.
Return ValueType: System.TimeSpan
An object that represents value.
value is less than MinValue or greater than MaxValue.
value is Double.PositiveInfinity.
value is Double.NegativeInfinity.
value is equal to Double.NaN.
The value parameter is converted to milliseconds, which is converted to ticks, and that number of ticks is used to initialize the new TimeSpan. Therefore, value will only be considered accurate to the nearest millisecond. Note that, because of the loss of precision of the Double data type, this conversion can cause an OverflowException for values that are near to but still in the range of either MinValue or MaxValue. For example, this causes an OverflowException in the following attempt to instantiate a TimeSpan object.

(on the 30th death anniversary of Faiz Ahmed Faiz, a poet much loved in Pakistan and India)
(Picture by Sunil Janah)
21 November 1984. Faiz Ahmed Faiz came to me in an obituary in the newspaper, The Tribune, when I was a curious high school student preparing for a general knowledge quiz.
1987. Faiz reappeared in a communist march, with his tarana, "Hum mehnatkash jagwalon se jab apna hissa maangeygain," the equivalent of the Internationale in Hindustani–on my lips.
Faiz came to me a year later, in a small booklet that was published by some radical outfit that is long gone.
Faiz came to me in his collected poems, Saare Sukhan Hamare ("All words are ours"). I made a long trip to old Delhi's Daryaganj in DTC buses to Raj Kamal Prakashan to procure the book just published at the then royal price of Rs 100. It was that difficult, and that expensive to buy it. The book still accompanies me, along with the "Diwan e Ghalib" a quarter of a century later.
Faiz's quatrain, "Raat yoon teri khoyi hui yaad aayi" ("And in such ways your lost memories came as night fell") became my first painting that I made inspired by a poem. The painting was lost soon after when the disk crashed. The memory of the painting still lives with me.
Raat yun dil mein teri khoyi hui yaad aayi,
Jaise viraane mein chupke se bahaar aa jaye,
Jaise sehraaon mein haule se chale baad-e-naseem,
Jaise beemaar ko be-wajhe qaraar aa jaaye.
(Last night, your long-lost memory came back to me as though
Spring stealthily should come to a forsaken wilderness
A gentle breeze its fragrance over burning deserts blow
Or, all at once be soothed somehow the sick soul's distress. (Tr by Sarvat Rehman)
Faiz was with me as I travelled across countries. The pages of the book turned brown. It accumulated jottings of Urdu words that I did not know the meaning of. The original words became part of my vocabulary.
Over the years, I am beginning to forget them again. Sometimes, their meanings come back to me. Sometimes, they don't. Sometimes, I try to read the pencil jottings once again. I have to bring the page closer to my eyes. The pencil marks are fading, and so is my vision.
Faiz comes to me when I listen to Mehdi Hassan. Gulon main rang bhare… Faiz's best poetry, I now realize was not the revolutionary taranas that enamoured me as a student, but the ghazals that he wrote when he was waiting for his execution in a jail in Hyderabad, Sindh.
Faiz has come to me when reading Alfred Tennyson. I wonder if indeed Tennyson wrote "In Memorium" after Faiz's " Tum Mere Paas Raho"
And when wine, as it is poured, is the sobbing
of children whom nothing will console–
when nothing holds,
when nothing is:
at that dark hour when night mourns,
be near me, my destroyer, my lover me,
be near me.
(Translation by Agha Shahid Ali from The Rebel's Silhouette)
Faiz has come to me when the going was tough, in love or at work.
They were lucky
who considered love to be a full time job
Or those
who believed that work itself was love
As long as I lived, I remained busy
I loved a little, and worked a little
Finally fed up
I left both unfinished.
Faiz comes to me in those moments of despair when even an atheist needs succour and no amount of rational reasoning can provide relief.
Come, let's raise our hands in prayer too,
We, who do not remember the rituals of prayer.
We, who except for the feeling of love,
do not owe allegiance to any deity or God.
Faiz comes to me when I listen to Chopin on my tablet as Israel pounds Gaza. Chopin ka nagma bajta hai ("Chopin's symphony plays")
"Sadness has sculpted
A father's face in stone
A mother has kissed
the forehead of her dead son
Chopin's symphony plays"
Faiz has come to me to clinch many an argument:
Jis baat ka saare fasaney main zikr tak na tha
Wohi baat unko nagawaar guzri hai
(The incident that was not in the story that I narrated
That is the one that has upset them)
Faiz comes to me in a dream. October 2010.
I am in Cairo, walking with a faceless Egyptian . We are walking along a bridge that connects two buildings. The two of us discuss Faiz, and suddenly, we see a misty figure in a gray suit. I point out to my friend, 'See, there goes Faiz". Both of us look at him, wonder-struck.
We keep walking.
I mention to my friend that Naguib Mahfouz also wrote poetry. My friend looks up at dark clouds in the sky and recites a couple of lines, implying that these are by Mahfouz:
The skies wear
A widow's shroud
I remember the dream a few weeks later as I watched the surcharged demonstrations on the streets of Cairo. Not even in my dreams, though, could I have imagined the Egyptian people would be out on the streets, trying to rip apart the dark shrouds from the country's skies. It seems Faiz and Mahfouz are together on the streets.
Dead poets and writers indeed march on in the streets among barricades, as night falls.
And in such myraid ways does their memory come to us, as night falls.

The special effects here are a howl. You're greeted at the creaking iron gates of this Gothic mansion by a lugubrious attendant, who has one of the few jobs at Disney for which smiling is frowned upon, and ushered into a spooky picture gallery. A disembodied voice echoes from the walls: "Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion. I am your ghost host." An audio system with 30-plus surround-sound speakers ups the ghost-host fright factor. A scream shivers down, the
room begins to "stretch," and you're off into one of Disney's classic attractions. Don't rush out of this room when other visitors depart; linger for some ghoulish bonus whispers.
Consisting mainly of a slow-moving ride in a cocoonlike "doom buggy," the Haunted Mansion is only really scary for younger children, and that's mostly because of the darkness. Everyone else will laugh while they gawk at the special effects. Watch the the ghostly ballroom dancers; Madame Leota's talking head in the crystal ball; and ghostly footprints that move along a staircase. In the "bride in the attic" scene, keep an eye on the portraits. Just when you think the Imagineers have exhausted their bag of ectoplasmic tricks, you discover that your doom buggy has gained an extra passenger. This is a high-capacity, fast-loading ride, and lines usually move steadily. For people with disabilities: Those in wheelchairs must transfer to the "doom buggies" and take one or more steps; however, if you can walk up to 200 feet, you'll enjoy the preshow as well as the ride's sensations and eerie sounds. Equipped for handheld-captioning and audio-description devices. When you reach a fork in the queue before entering the mansion, go left through the cemetery for interactive graveyard fun. Nighttime adds an extra fright factor.

This time of year always brings an influx of new & returning students, many of whom are moving into apartments for the first time and looking for frugal ways to outfit their domiciles without having to rely entirely on Mom & Dad and leftover red plastic party cups from Chip & Veronica's kegger last week. We're stocked to the gills with great deal on dishes (just .25 each unless otherwise marked), mugs, glasses, bowls, and much more!
Perfect for sipping sherry with Grandma during Lawrence Welk or boxed wine with crazy Aunt Edna during Sharknado 3. You sort of have to stick your pinky finger out to use them, so be careful about that Sharknado.
41701-1. Behold, the General Electric "Combination" model, from a time when "combination" meant "has a freezer in addition to being a refrigerator." And this amazing piece of retro American industrial design features not just an eye-popping shade of greenish yellow on its exterior but a glorious pink/ melon color inside, where you'll find lazy-Susan-style shelves! We've plugged it in, and it's still working, just ready for your glazed ham and cans of Vitamin R.
If there's one thing we love here in the warehouse it's galore. Need some coffee/tea/hot chocolate mugs? Why pay bloated retail prices when you know we can set you up with some sweet deals. Just .25 each! Fill 'er up!

Loeb, who graduated from Brandeis with a B.A. and a Master's Degree in Film, has also had extensive experience in both movies and television where he was a writer/producer for Smallville (he introduced "Red Kryptonite"). He later became a writer/producer on Lost during that show's second season before he left to become co-Executive Producer on the NBC superhero series, Heroes.
Loeb spoke on his journey from comics to other media and the changes in the industry in his keynote address at last year's ICv2 Conference on Comics and Media (see "Jeph Loeb on How Comics Became Hollywood Inspiration").
The appointment of Loeb, whose career spans both comic books and live action television, indicates that Marvel is intent on moving into the live TV arena. Marvel has scored signal successes in the feature film world and held its own (in comparison with DC) in television animation, but it has lagged behind its Big 2 competitor in live action TV, where the Superman-based Smallville has been a long-running success that Marvel as yet has been unable to match.

Genova Pesto World Championship
David Molinari, seventeen year old, from Istituto Alberghiero Marco Polo, won in the preliminary competition on Thursday, Nov. 6, at the "Olimpiadi liguri dei mestieri" on the occasion of "ABCD+Orientamenti" at Fiera di Genova.
A great thrill for all young participants, who made a great pesto, worked well and with great skill. Chooseing the best was a daunting task for the jury composed by Carmelo Infantini (Confesercenti), Maurizio Valle and the young Matteo Ferro (Associazione dei Palatifini)
Pesto makes headline on "The Wall Street Journal"! We met in July journalist Jeff Marcus and together with him we have rediscovered Genoa, its beauty and rich cuisine. Jeff attended a demonstration of mortar made Pesto and after tasting it he's falling in love! Read his report "In Search of Perfect Pesto" in the Press Area.
The young Axel Beryskauy from Norway won the preliminary competition that was held Saturday, July 19 at Moneglia.
The warm and sparkling atmosphere, the beautiful surroundings and the large participation made it even more exciting for the ten competitors from Norway, Germany, Lombardy, Puglia and of course Moneglia and Genoa. In second place Frevel Sandra from Germany and third Luciano Simon, who defended the flag of Moneglia.
A summer evening on the sea, warm and reeked of scented basil… It happens at Moneglia on Saturday, July 19, at h. 18, where people competed for the preliminary competition valid for the upcoming sixth edition of the Championship in 2016. The competition is organized in partnership with Consorzio Operatori Turistici di Moneglia and CIV Moneglia, on the occasion of "ANCIperExpo", a series of events on the theme of food and nutrition in view of the forthcoming Expo Milano 2015.
Saturday, April 12, 30 people competed for the best Pesto in Paris. It was the first preliminary competition valid for the upcoming sixth edition of the Championship in 2016. The day was beautiful, in addition to preliminary competition - the first time with 30 people at the same time - there were tastings of Ligurian products of the highest quality and a cooking class held by Maurizio Pinto, chef at Genoa restaurant Voltalacarta.

Pittsburgh Pirates Rumors
NL Central Notes: Cubs, Castillo, Martin, Bourjos
Cubs catcher Welington Castillo wants to be part of the future in Chicago, but he understands that in order for that to happen he likely has some more improvement to do, writes Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times. Castillo, 27, is entering his prime-age seasons but doesn't hear his name mentioned alongside younger core players like Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro. Castillo specifically mentions that he recognizes the fact that baseball is a business and he can't assume that he will be in a starting role. Cubs GM Jed Hoyer again said to Wittenmyer that the team plans to add at least one everyday veteran this winter, leading Wittenmyer to speculate on Russell Martin, who would give the Cubs a major defensive boost behind the plate. While catching coach Mike Borzello feels that Castillo is "the best in the business" at blocking pitches, Castillo ranks at the bottom of Baseball Prospectus' Blocking Runs Added stat and ranks 72nd among 97 catchers in extra strikes via pitch framing (also via B-Pro). Hoyer, however, did give Castillo a vote of confidence: "I really believe in Welly. … He doesn't get mentioned a lot when we talk about our established young veterans, but he can be in that mix as well."
Here's more from the NL Central…
- ESPN Chicago's Jesse Rogers also has quotes from Hoyer on his desire for veteran leadership, and Rogers wonders if the club would pursue a veteran such as Jonny Gomes to help out in left field. While he notes that Gomes, of course, wouldn't be an everyday player, "a quasi-starter who has winning experience might be the best option" given the lack of starting-caliber bats at positions of need for the Cubs, Rogers opines. He, too, notes that Martin would be a good fit in Chicago, though.
- Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette looks at the extraordinary preparation and conditioning that have contributed to Russell Martin's brilliant season. Brink spoke to Martin's coaches and teammates about what he means to the club, with GM Neal Huntington stating that the club is going to do everything it can to re-sign its catcher. Perhaps most interesting, however, is the fact that Brink notes that the Pirates offered Martin a two-year, $17MM deal and a three-year, $21MM deal when signing him prior to the 2013 season. Martin explains to Brink that he didn't want to sign for three years, because he felt he could improve his stock on a two-year pact, which he has done in dramatic fashion.
- One veteran scout tells Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that Cardinals outfielder Peter Bourjos is the best defensive center fielder he's seen in 38 years as a scout. Bourjos and Randal Grichuk were acquired from the Angels with the idea that one of them would be the team's everyday center fielder in 2015, writes Hummel, but Jon Jay's solid offense has muddied the picture and left the Cardinals with choices to make. Bourjos has hit better of late, boosting his season batting line to .241/.305/.367, and he drew praise from manager Mike Matheny as well. It'll be interesting to see how the Cardinals decide to proceed, not only in the next few weeks, but in the offseason as well.

Quick Hits: Hernandez, Castillo, Martin, M's, Pirates
Left-hander Yasmany Hernandez has left Cuba for an undisclosed third country with the goal of signing a MLB contract, per Diario De Cuba (h/t Baseball America's Ben Badler). Badler provides a scouting report on the 23-year-old, who led Serie Nacional with a 1.66 ERA this past season. Hernandez will be exempt from international bonus restrictions after pitching five seasons in Serie Nacional, but Badler doesn't expect teams to show as much interest in Hernandez as fellow Cubans have drawn. Here are more notes from around the game.
- Badler also recently appeared on the Providence Journal's Super Two podcast with Tim Britton and Brian MacPherson, where he discussed new Red Sox outfielder Rusney Castillo. Badler says teams are becoming increasingly receptive to spending big money on Cuban players thanks to the successes of players like Jose Abreu and Yasiel Puig, adding that the added power Castillo demonstrated since leaving Cuba increased his value on the market.
- Free-agent-to-be Russell Martin would be a great fit for the Cubs, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times writes. Signing Martin would involve making a significant financial commitment and giving up on Welington Castillo as a starting catcher, but Martin could help mold the Cubs' young pitching and provide a strong example for the rest of its young roster.
- The Mariners will not retain national cross-checker Butch Baccala, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports. Baccala is the scout who sent Jesus Montero ice cream during a minor league game while Montero was rehabbing, seemingly as an insult regarding Montero's weight. Montero threw the ice cream at Baccala and was suspended.
- The Pirates had a quiet trade deadline, but they've had a strong second half anyway, MLB.com's Tom Singer writes. In particular, they didn't complete a trade for a starting pitcher and didn't improve what appeared to be a weak bullpen. Since then, though, their bullpen has quietly become a strength, thanks in part to the emergence of John Holdzkom, and their offense has papered over any rotation issues. "You'll get second-guessed no matter what you do," says Bucs manager Clint Hurdle. "That's just the nature of the world. So you gotta do what you feel in your gut is right."
- The Rays are ready to see what they've got in Nick Franklin, who they're promoting Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times writes. The Rays, of course, acquired Franklin from the Mariners in the three-team deal in which they sent David Price to Detroit. Since the trade, Franklin has hit .210/.288/.290 in 113 plate appearances for Triple-A Durham, although his track record indicates he's capable of hitting better.
- Padres assistant director of scouting operations Don Welke, who arrived recently from the Rangers organization along with new GM A.J. Preller, is enjoying his first month with San Diego, Corey Brock of MLB.com writes. Welke and other members of the Padres' front office are currently in Arizona, where they're watching Padres prospects play in the instructional league.

NL Notes: Mets Payroll, Martin
Earlier in the week, we learned the Mets expect to maintain a steady payroll in the low-to-mid-$80MM range. Although the club may prefer to avoid trading from their pitching depth or adding significant payroll, they'll need to be opportunistic to succeed in 2015, writes The New York Post's Joel Sherman. The club is well aware that free agent signings can backfire and pitching depth can vanish with the pop of a couple ligaments. Per Sherman, the New York's perceived plan to spend when fans return to the ballpark is "backwards." The franchise spends less on player salaries than the mid-market Braves, yet they have powerful potential revenue streams from their Northeast location, relatively new stadium, and TV network. Sherman suggests the club remain open to signing a few veterans like Melky Cabrera, Jed Lowrie, or Mike Morse. An alternative source of value could be to pick up possible castoffs like Matt Kemp or Jose Reyes.
- Alderson is "right" to note that money doesn't equate to success, says Bill Madden of the New York Daily News. Madden emphasizes the Mets woeful performance in recent free agent markets, but he also believes the club should be open to expanding payroll in the right move – including trades. He mentions Red Sox outfielder Yoenis Cespedes as a sort of ideal trade target.
- Russell Martin is a stealth MVP candidate and the Pirates need to re-sign him, writes David Golebiewski of GammonsDaily.com. Martin blends offense and defense at a critical position. While the Pirates are generally penny pinchers, they should do what is necessary to retain the 31-year-old free agent. In addition to his personal virtues, Pittsburgh lacks a viable internal replacement. MLBTR's Tim Dierkes believes "a four-year deal north of $50MM" to be possible.

Quick Hits: Velocity, Clark, 2015 Draft, Astros, Pirates
The introduction and development of the radar gun has had a profound effect on baseball, Danny Knobler explores in a piece for Bleacher Report. Pitching speed has always been recognized as a key tool, but its increasing standardization in measurement and emphasis in amateur scouting has played an undeniable role in the velocity explosion at all levels. Speed readings deliver valuable information and come with some downsides, but for better or worse the gun's influence will continue. Here are a few more interesting recent articles from around the web:
- Matt Clark's decision to gamble a bit and opt out of his minor league deal with the Mets has paid huge dividends for the 27-year-old journeyman, writes Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Now with the Brewers, Clark says he sensed that there was little chance he'd be promoted and elected free agency in June. Bob Skube, Milwaukee's Triple-A hitting coach, was Clark's hitting coach with the Padres' Triple-A affiliate at one point and made a pitch for the organization to pursue him when Nashville first baseman Hunter Morris broke his arm. Clark, who spent last season in Japan and had never cracked a big league roster, hit his way to a September callup and has homered in two straight games.
- Prospect watchers have begun to turn their attention to the 2015 amateur draft, so let's take a look at the latest. Kiley McDaniel of Fangraphs provides a "way-too-early" list of the top 51 prospects, along with some other names to watch. Sitting atop the ranking is high school shortstop and FSU commit Brendan Rogers, with last year's first overall choice — the unsigned and possibly JuCo-bound Brady Aiken — right behind him.
- Looking back at recent draft choices, Baseball America's John Manuel writes that the Astros will need to go to work developing Mark Appel and the recently-acquired Colin Moran to avoid a lot of hard questions about the decision to pass on Kris Bryant last year. Given Moran's skillset — hard work, polished approach, and quick hands, but not the power and athleticism of Bryant — his best-case scenario might be to join the trajectory of Kyle Seager, says Manuel.
- The Pirates have enjoyed a distinctive advantage this year in losing few player days to the DL, writes Ben Lindbergh of Grantland. Manager Clint Hurdle praised the team's strength and conditioning staff, though he admitted he wasn't sure that there was any one thing the Pirates are doing better than rival clubs. Still, players such as Chris Stewart, Neil Walker and Russell Martin all praised strength and conditioning coach Brendon Huttman. GM Neal Huntington wouldn't comment on any specific tactics that might be ahead of the curve, stating, "I'd prefer to leave that behind the curtain."
- Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports examines the journey of former Arizona State and Notre Dame head coach Pat Murphy, who has transitioned to managing the Padres' Triple-A club after a controversial exit to his NCAA career. Murphy's intensity is said to be toned down, and Brown spoke with numerous players who lauded Murphy as one of the best managers they've ever had. Veteran reliever Blaine Boyer ranked Murphy alongside Bobby Cox, Tony La Russa and Bud Black. Brown, like many of Murphy's players, is of the opinion that the 55-year-old Murphy could eventually be a big league manager.

Extension Candidate: Josh Harrison
Asked to create a list of candidates for the 2014 NL batting title five months ago, few would have seriously suggested Pirates utilityman Josh Harrison. However, it's September 11th, and the .318 mark that Harrison carried into the day paced the National League. A decline in performance for Pedro Alvarez and an eventual season-ending injury for the slugging third baseman have opened the door for Harrison to serve as the club's everyday option at the hot corner down the stretch — an opportunity on which he has capitalized. Though the 27-year-old Harrison had never even topped 276 plate appearances prior to this season, he's tallied 472 and should finish the season well north of 500.
The Pirates acquired Harrison with little fanfare in the 2009 trade that sent Tom Gorzelanny and John Grabow to the Cubs and watched him produce steady batting average and on-base percentage marks as he ascended the minor league ranks. However, while his glovework graded out favorably heading into the season, he also carried a career slash line of just .250/.282/.367 into 2014.
Harrison hasn't drastically changed his approach at the plate — his swing and contact rates are similar to his previous marks — but he's slightly increased his walk rate, cut down on his pop-ups and laced line drives at a career-high rate. On top of that, Harrison has found some power despite never hitting more than six homers in a minor league season. He's swatted 13 long balls and posted a .196 isolated power mark even though he plays at PNC Park, which is known to significantly diminish right-handed pop. The end result has been an outstanding .318/.351/.514 batting line to go along with those 13 homers, 17 steals and strong defensive marks.
Harrison has cleared three years of Major League service time now and will be eligible for arbitration this offseason. Clearly, an NL batting title, 15 or so homers and 20 or so steals will help his agents at Millennium Sports Management make a strong case. However, first-time arb salaries are based on a player's entire career to that point, unlike second- and third-time arb salaries which are based more on a player's most recent season. With the agents likely touting an elite platform season and the team likely pointing to earlier seasons to drive the cost down, a multi-year contract might be worth examining. Pittsburgh would get cost certainty, while Harrison would receive financial security in the event that he does not replicate his brilliant 2014.
Of course, from the Pirates' point of view, they may look at Harrison as a player whose most consistent attributes are defense and baserunning — two aspects that, while valuable, are not highly rewarded in arbitration. While he does have a career-high in homers, the Pirates could also look to Harrison's average fly-ball distance of 279.98 feet — 136th in the Majors according to BaseballHeatMaps.com — and the fact that seven of his 13 homers fall into the "just enough" category on ESPN's Hit Tracker. Those two stats suggest that he may have difficulty sustaining this level of power, which would subsequently deflate his arb prices in future cases. A low-payroll team like the Pirates may express hesitancy at over-committing in the event that his power numbers won't stay this high.
As such, Harrison and the Pirates may have trouble reaching common ground should either side look to pursue a long-term deal that buys out free agent years. The Pirates will cite Harrison's short track record and reliance on defense and baserunning to provide value. Harrison's agents, meanwhile, will likely position him as a breakout player and could point to five- or six-year pacts signed by other infielders in the past year or so. However, even a similar late bloomer like Matt Carpenter had an excellent 2012 season and a fourth-place MVP finish in 2013 before signing his six-year, $52MM contract. Harrison has just one elite season.
While Harrison isn't the first player to jump from utility player to All-Star (though the feat certainly isn't common), few, if any players have found themselves in his situation and his service bracket and ultimately inked a long-term deal. A look at extensions for infielders with three to four years of service time shows few deals that serve as comparables. Pablo Sandoval signed a three-year, $17.5MM to buy out his arb years at the same stage of his career, but he had a much better offensive profile at that point. Elvis Andrus' original three-year, $14.4MM extension was signed when he had an even three years of Major League service. He lacked an offensive season in the vein of Harrison's excellent 2014, but he had a longer track record of providing value.
The Pirates are one of baseball's most cost-conscious teams, and as such there would seem to be some benefit to securing Harrison's arbitration paydays, and for a player with no track record prior to 2014, I'd think that holds some appeal to him as well. Perhaps the two sides could work out a three-year deal in the $15-16MM range to provide Harrison with a lifetime of financial security but still position him to hit free agency at a relatively young age in search of a significant payday. While Pittsburgh would undoubtedly have interest in adding a club option that could push the total value of the contract into the Michael Brantley range (four years, $25MM) if exercised, that doesn't seem to be a worthwhile trade-off for player and agent, even if the buyout was fairly significant.
Beyond Harrison's three arbitration years, the situation feels to this writer like one in which the team's lack of margin for error (due to payroll constraints) makes betting on Harrison's surprise breakout a bit too risky to pay him like the late-blooming star he could very well be. Of course, there's risk for the team to pass on a long-term deal as well; if Harrison is capable of sustaining something close to this level of production, his price tag on a long-term deal a year from now could exceed that of Carpenter.

Central Links: Martin, Votto, Kipnis, Sox, Thorpe
In his latest piece for ESPN.com, Jerry Crasnick examines how vital a piece of the Pirates' success Russell Martin has become. While his two-year, $17MM deal was initially viewed as an overpay by some after a so-so season in New York, he's become an indispensable asset. Said GM Neal Huntington: "Russ has put us in a position where we got crushed when we brought him in, and if we let him go out the door, we're gonna get crushed again." As Crasnick notes, the Rangers, Rockies, Tigers, Dodgers, Cubs and White Sox could all be players in a thin crop of free agent catchers this offseason. Martin spoke to Crasnick as well, explaining that given the proximity to the end of the season, it simply makes sense to see what his options are in free agency. He did profess a love of playing in Pittsburgh, although Pirates fans may be troubled to hear that a more aggressive approach in Spring Training could have helped to retain their backstop: "If there would have been something done in spring training, it would have been a different story," Martin told Crasnick. I agree with Crasnick's take that a contract between Carlos Ruiz's three-year, $26.5MM contract and Miguel Montero's five-year, $65MM deal seems attainable. MLBTR's Tim Dierkes recently noted that a $50MM figure seems plausible.
Here's more from the game's Central divisions…
- MLB.com's Mark Sheldon opines that the Reds should shut down Joey Votto for the season rather than rush him back for the final week or so of a non-contending season. Even if Votto appeared to be 100 percent, he would still risk re-injury, while the focus should be on making sure he's fully healthy for 2015, when the team will desperately need him.
- Jason Kipnis tells Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer that he pressed too hard early in the season as he tried to live up to the expectations set by his contract extension with the Indians. However, he does feel that this is something he can learn from: "I can change," said Kipnis. "I can come to the realization that I have that in my back pocket and just go out and enjoy myself and play the game."
- Following the trade of Gordon Beckham to the Angels, second base has become a position of flux for the White Sox, writes MLB.com's Scott Merkin. Top prospect Micah Johnson has been shut down for the year due to an injury, but he'll be firmly in the mix with Carlos Sanchez and Marcus Semien, both of whom are getting looks over the season's final month. Manager Robin Ventura offered high praise for what he's seen of Sanchez thus far, calling him a smart player and saying that it's easy to see why the organization was so high on him.
- Twins pitching prospect Lewis Thorpe has been diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his left arm, Mike Beradino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press writes. It's been a rough year for Minnesota prospects, as Miguel Sano had Tommy John surgery, Byron Buxton missed much of the year with wrist and concussion issues, and Alex Meyer experiencing shoulder discomfort in his final start of the season. The Australian-born Thorpe has soared up Twins prospect rankings since signing, and Baseball Prospectus ranked him as the game's No. 101 prospect prior to the season. He posted a 3.52 ERA with 10.0 K/9 and 4.5 BB/9 in 71 2/3 innings as an 18-year-old at Class A. As Berardino notes in a followup piece, Thorpe isn't expected to need Tommy John surgery and will rehab in the fall instructional league.

Injury Notes: Alvarez, Pedroia, Iglesias
The Pirates announced, via press release, that Pedro Alvarez has been diagnosed with a stress reaction of the fourth metatarsal in his left foot — an injury that comes with a four to six week recovery timeline. The powerful Alvarez had lost playing time to Josh Harrison at third base but has still seen the occasional start at the hot corner plus some starts at first base and DH (during interleague play, of course). That injury seems likely to sideline him for the remainder of the 2014 season, meaning that his campaign will come to a close with a rather disappointing .231/.312/.405 slash line and 18 homers.
Here are some more notes pertaining to notable injuries from around the league…
- Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia will undergo surgery on his left hand tomorrow, thereby ending his 2014 season. It's been a rough few weeks for Pedroia, who also missed time due to concussion-like symptoms at the end of August after an on-field collision. The '08 MVP batted .278/.337/.376 this season, which despite translating to league-average production (101 OPS+), is the least-productive full season he's had in terms of rate stats.
- While the Bucs and BoSox received bad news today, the Tigers got some good news regarding Jose Iglesias' injuries, writes Chris Iott of MLive.com. Iglesias was cleared for lower body workouts after receiving a CT scan and MRI that showed the stress fractures in each of his shins have healed. The defensive wizard has not been able to do any lower body work while dealing with the injuries but will now accelerate his rehab with a physical therapist in Miami before beginning an offseason training program in November. He appears to be on track for a 2015 return, says Iott, who spoke with head athletic trainer Kevin Rand and was told this was "the best possible outcome we could hope for."

Rosenthal On Braves, Martin, McEwing, Smyly
After Braves CEO Terry McGuirk told Jeff Schultz of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that "everyone is accountable" in Atlanta, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports wonders if General Manager Frank Wren and manager Fredi Gonzalez could be in trouble. Gonzalez oversees an offense that often looks lost and is next-to-last in the National League in runs per game. Wren, meanwhile, gave contracts to second baseman Dan Uggla (who has since been released) and center fielder B.J. Upton that didn't pan out.
While anything is possible given their recent struggles, people in the industry would be surprised if the Braves made major changes, unless tension is building underneath the surface that people aren't aware of. Wren is close with McGuirk, major league sources say, and Gonzalez was Wren's hand-picked choice to replace Bobby Cox. Here's more from today's column..
- The Pirates want to keep Russell Martin, but the veteran's price in free agency could be too rich for their blood. The 31-year-old will be the best and youngest catcher on the market by far and even though catchers historically don't cash in in free agency, he won't be had for another two-year, $17MM bargain. He won't garner something like Miguel Montero's five-year, $60MM extension but he should at least beat the three-year, $26MM free-agent deal that the Carlos Ruiz signed last winter entering his age 35 season. Pittsburgh could try to keep Martin with a one-year, ~$15MM qualifying offer, but as Rosenthal notes, they didn't do that with A.J. Burnett last winter. Martin ranked ninth in Tim Dierkes' most recent Free Agent Power Rankings for MLBTR. Dierkes suggested Martin could receive a four-year deal north of $50MM.
- Rosenthal wouldn't be surprised if Joe McEwing winds up as the next manager of the Diamondbacks. Even if he doesn't land with Arizona, White Sox officials say McEwing's intelligence and energy will make him a strong candidate for other jobs.
- Drew Smyly is benefiting from the Rays' focus on analytics. Upon joining the team, the Rays gave the 25-year-old some keen instruction and asked him elevate his fastball more. Those tips have led to some great work by Smyly in Tampa Bay and Rosenthal wonders why the Tigers didn't pick up on some of the same things.
- The Orioles lost catcher Matt Wieters, but the makeshift combination of rookie Caleb Joseph and Nick Hundley, acquired from the Padres in May, has proven quite adequate. The two have combined for an OPS right around the American League average at catcher.
- While the Mets like second baseman Dilson Herrera, Rosenthal says that doesn't mean they should trade Daniel Murphy. No team will give the Mets comparable offensive talent for Murphy and the smart move would be to instead sign him to an extension.

Pirates Release Ernesto Frieri
The Pirates have released right-hander Ernesto Frieri, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports. Frieri had been designated for assignment and then outrighted to Triple-A by the Bucs in August.
The release puts an exclamation point on a nightmare season for Frieri, who posted a 7.34 ERA, 10.4 K/9 and 3.43 K/BB rate over 41 2/3 innings with the Pirates and Angels. He hurt himself with the long ball by allowing 11 homers this season, though the advanced metrics suggest that Frieri's 7.34 ERA involved some poor luck — ERA predictors such as xFIP (3.69) and SIERA (2.97) indicate that Frieri was victimized by a .330 BABIP and a very low 60.9% strand rate.
The Angels removed Frieri from his closer's job and then traded him to the Bucs for Jason Grilli in a swap of struggling ninth-inning men. While Grilli has thrived in Los Angeles, Frieri couldn't get on track in Pittsburgh and saw him get demoted to the minors. The righty posted a 3.86 ERA with six strikeouts and four walks in seven innings at Triple-A Indianapolis.
Frieri was a dominant bullpen force with the Padres and Angels from 2009-12, posting a 2.32 ERA in 162 2/3 IP in that stretch and earning 23 saves after he came to Anaheim in May 2012. While his ERA jumped to 3.80 in 2013, his 37 saves and prior performance earned him a $3.8MM contract for 2014 in his first year of arbitration eligibility. (Frieri is still controllable through 2016.) His rough season all but guaranteed that he would be non-tendered by the Bucs this winter, though Frieri's past success will very likely earn him a look from a few interested clubs.

Minor Moves: Martinez, McGuiness, Abreu, Rodriguez
Here are Sunday's minor moves from around MLB:
- The Pirates have outrighted Chris McGuiness and Michael Martinez to Triple-A Indianapolis after the pair cleared waivers, tweets the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Rob Biertempfel. McGuiness and Martinez were both designated for assignment this past week.
Earlier updates:
- The Mets will add outfielder Bobby Abreu to their 40-man roster tomorrow when his contract is officially purchased from Triple-A Las Vegas, reports Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com. The move fills the remaining spot on the team's 40-man roster. This will be the 40-year-old's second stint with the Mets this year as he was designated for assignment in August after posting a .238/.331/.336 line in 142 plate appearances. Ten days later, he inked a minor league deal to remain with the organization.
- The Rangers have announced they have purchased the contract of infielder Guilder Rodriguez from Double-A Frisco. To make room on the 40-man roster, the club placed Yu Darvish on the 60-day disabled list. Rodriguez holds the distinction for playing the most minor league games of any current player (1,095) without MLB experience. The 31-year-old, profiled by Anthony Andro of FOX Sports Southwest, has a slash of .260/.340/.290 in 384 plate appearances for Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock this season while playing all four infield positions, as well as both corner outfield spots.
- There are currently five players residing in DFA limbo, per MLBTR's DFA Tracker: Michael Kohn (Angels), Chris Dwyer and Blake Wood (Royals), and Matt Hague and Darin Mastroianni (Blue Jays).

It will be interesting what gets posted here. I would think for the Late 70's early 80's were pretty much like the Monogram Pro Stocks. I am building the 78 Dyno Don Fairmont and the chassis is mostly from the Thunderbird Pro Stock.
There weren't any 60's Pro Stock since the Class started in 1970 didn't it?
Posted 20 July 2013 - 11:36 AM
It mite of started in the 70`s but there your a lot of late 60`s body styles for when pro stock started. Like 69 Barracudas and mustangs etc.

The very first ProStock race was at the 1970 Winternationals, won by Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins
fom Wikipedia
NHRA changed the 1972 rules to allow drivers with a small block wedge engine to run a lighter car. Jenkins used a small block-based 331 cu in (5.42 l) in a Chevrolet Vega fitted in the division's first tube chassis, which debuted at the 1972 Winternationals.

This link "Pro Stock Innovations" will give you a few clues. I've been working on an early '70's p/s and there is not a whole lot of photo documentation out there beyond exterior views. It seems Grumpy's Vega was the first to use a tube chassis.
Posted 22 July 2013 - 01:12 AM
Tube chassis cars didn't show up till sometime approx late 1972 or 1973 . so prior to that it would be a basically stock floorpan with maybe some aftermkt suspsension traction aids

"Disney is Trying to Win Over Gamers." By Sarah Kessler for Salon. Historically, Disney has treated games like accessories but the introduction of their title Disney Infinities indicates a serious shift in company strategy.
"Infinity's budget, the largest the company has ever allotted a game, is on par with a motion picture, and its development timeline––which includes a line of physical toy characters and accompanying mobile games––extended three years. Disney has realized something important: The more time kids spend with digital screens, the more Disney competes not just with television and movie studios, but also technology companies such as Zynga and Facebook. And to do so effectively, Disney needs games."
"There was a time when such determinations appeared to hold geopolitical significance. The Obama administration repeatedly called the use of chemical weapons a 'red line.' But that line has now been crossed repeatedly, with little consequence. And that's led U.S. intelligence officials to confront another question: How massive would the chemical strike have to be in order to prompt America and its allies to intervene in Syria in a major way?"
"It's hard to instantly evaluate these kinds of broad tests, but at first blush this one does seem useful. Meanwhile, the rest of GLAAD's Studio Responsibility Index report offered more analysis of Hollywood's LGBT representation, including the fact that out of 101 major studio releases in 2012, just 14 featured characters identified as lesbian, gay, or bisexual (none included an example of a transgender character). Only six of those 14 films passed the Russo Test."
"Did history work out for the best? Yes. 'My So-Called Life' is perhaps the best series of its type ever made, and Holzman's recent ABC Family show 'Huge' had a lot to recommend it as well, but it's hard to imagine one of her shows becoming a popular success like 'The Sopranos'--which attracted both highbrow viewers who were there for the psychology and others who were just there to see people get whacked--and therefore hard to imagine a similar but estrogen-driven revolution happening as a result. The rest of the industry didn't just imitate 'The Sopranos' because it was great, but because it was a big damn hit. And though those imitations eventually led to too many derivative bastard sons of Tony Soprano like 'Ray Donovan' and 'Low Winter Sun,' I wouldn't want to live in a timeline without the many great shows that directly followed."
"A Jersey crime novelist reflects on his hero Elmore Leonard." By Wallace Stroby for The Star-Ledger.
"When Leonard also started focusing on strong female characters, especially in 1977's 'Unknown Man No. 89' and 1983's 'La Brava,' [his] formula really began to click. He also developed a conversational, colloquial tone that made the pages fly, a shift he freely credited to the influence of George V. Higgins' groundbreaking 1971 crime novel 'The Friends of Eddie Coyle.' And when it came to writing dialogue, Leonard was the undisputed master. He reset the rules of how crime fiction characters spoke. In Leonard's books, they digressed, they wandered into anecdotes, they didn't finish sentences. In other words, they sounded like real people, not constructs on a page."
