Fantasy Baseball: Top 5 Chicago White Sox for 2010.
The Untitled Joe Sheehan Book
As you may already know, we tried self-publishing on for size last year with Pro Basketball Prospectus 2009-10 and College Basketball Prospectus 2009-10. We had a positive experience with those books, and we’re moving into self-publishing baseball material this year.
I’m pleased to announce that we’ve signed our friend Joe Sheehan for the first book [...]
Zuckerman's Famous Gig
By now you've all heard about Mark Zuckerman's goal of getting Nats fans to send him to Spring Training to cover the Nationals. As you all also know this isn't just Blogger X trying to get a free trip. Zuckerman spent several years covering the Nationals for the Washington Times, building up relationships and covering the team professionally. It was only when the Times went in a new direction (toward ...
Dodgers Sign Brian Giles To Minor League Deal
SRSLY?
Poll: Josh Beckett or Cliff Lee?
Over the weekend, we learned that the Red Sox might not retain Josh Beckett once he enters free agency after the 2010 season. If this is the case and, assuming the Yankees intend on exploring the free agent market for starting pitching next winter, who do you think they will chase? Will it be Josh [...]
Post Super Bowl Notes
I’m still on the road – thought I’d be home by now so short post tonight. Knowing I was going to still be traveling, I put the auto timer on one of my draft posts last night while under the influence. The good part was the Wordpress auto timer worked. The bad part was I setup the wrong post. One of the folks who help me with the blog noticed I had some spelling errors and other problems which didn’t set off a red flag because all my stuff is like that anyway, ...
How to beat the blahs on Mondays
I came across this crazy video from Bill Plunkett of the OC Register. Trying to do an introduction just wouldn't do it any justice. I will warn you though; make sure you're not eating or drinking anything or else it may end up on your monitor... Just watch:
Cliff Lee Has Minor Foot Surgery
I really don’t think that is the headline Seattle Mariner fans want to see about a week before pitchers and catchers report to spring training. But the reality is, it’s a true headline.
As the Tacoma News Tribune’s Ryan Divish first reported, Cliff Lee underwent a minor procedure in his left foot to remove a bone [...]
Inside the Numbers: Super Bowl Edition
Inside the numbers is a new feature that I will be trying to implement come baseball season, but all the stops need to be pulled out for the Super Bowl. I'll start with 10 and work my way to 1,...
Flyers come back to topple Devils 3-2
After going down 2-0, the Flyers scored 3 unanswered goals to take the lead and beat their neighbor state rivals
planet Schumaker
Yay! Skip "the second baseman" Schumaker is ours for the next TWO years. Arbitration avoided. Negotiations done. Trato hecho. And for quite a reasonable price, as well.
Ooh, buddy. I gotta tell you, there are a lot of our guys whom I would hate to see playing somewhere else--Albert, Yadi, Wainwright, a...
It?s Beginning To Look A Lot Like?
…Spring Training! What did you think I was going to say, Christmas? Pfft, that day is just a mere speed bump in baseball fan’s lives known as ‘Off season’. Either way, the Yankees released their non-roster invitee list and it looks something like this:
OF Marcus Thames
LHP Wilkins Arias
LHP Jeremy Bleich
OF Colin Curtis
RHP Grant Duff
OF Reid [...]
Why so few catchers?
Has anyone looked at the 40 man recently? Are you aware that there are only two catchers on the whole 40 man? I almost could not believe it myself, but there it was plain as day. Listed at catcher are only Ryan Doumit and Jason Jaramillo. Most teams use more than just two catchers during the whole season. Catcher is a demanding position that wears down the players donning the tools of ignorance. Ryan Doumit is a quick trip away from the DL almost anytime he playing. If anyting is c...
Where Are They Now: Bobby Kielty
Bobby Kielty was last seen in the big leagues in October of 2007, when he led off the 8th inning for the Red Sox in Game 4 of the World Series. This was to be his last at bat in the Major Leagues and he certainly made it one of the more memorable moments in Red Sox history when he belted a home run which proved to be the winning run in that game. That game was the 8th stra...
2010 Draft
Yeah, Cowart is obviously very intriguing. Probably too intriguing to last til #35, but a lot will change between now and June.
