First, I would like to thank Kyle for the opportunity to help him here on Driveline Mechanics.  Some of the work I will be doing is integrating Pitch F/X data into Kyle's mechanical examinations.

The second part of what I want to do here is where you come in.  As it can be seen from my handle I follow the Royals and know when there might be issues with their pitching staff.  Here are a list of Royals I have done an analysis on:

Look at Farnsworth and his Nibbleness this season

Luke Hochevar : Joakim Soria's Future Setup Man?

Analysis if Mahay before and after injury

Comparison of Soria between this Year and Last

This is where the rest of you come in. There are only some many Royal's pitchers I can write about, so I will take article recommendations as FanShot, FanPosts or emails (wydiyd at hotmail dot com). Make the questions something that can be compared or analyzed such as, has a pitcher that changed teams got better/worse, is the pitcher injured, how does the pitchers curve compare to last year, was an umpire squeezing a pitcher, a great hitter - pitcher duel, etc.

Once I get the request, I will email the requester that I have the idea and will delete the FanShot or FanPost with the request and will the requester know when the article is published. I will do about 1 piece per week and timely piece will take priority. One idea to remember when making requests is that there is only Pitch F/X data available for this season and the 2 previous ones.

Again, I would like to thank Kyle for the opportunity and hope I can answer some of your questions.
