Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened A weekend highlighted by a nod to the past with Robbie Alomar’s number retirement ceremony on Monday also offered some excitement for the future.

Diamondbacks Strike Gold with Trades This Weekend
Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Matthew Hesse.
The Arizona Diamondbacks not only won this weekend while the Giants lost a few games but they also won big in the trade market. The buzz around the league was that the Diamondbacks would not be giving up prospects to win now. The big idea was the Diamondbacks want to win long term not just this year. The Diamondbacks have holes especially in the bullpen; however, the Diamondbacks GM Kevin...

Royals fail to improve future at deadline
Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Ryan Riordan.
From the vast praise thrown towards the Kansas City minor league system to the poor Opening Day roster the Royals put on the diamond, everything about the 2011 season was about looking to the future. And while the Royals' record isn't very good this season, and some of its prospects in the minor leagues have scuffled, there have been some nice development for the future. Eric Hosmer looks like ...

Indians are Winners at the Trade Deadline
Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Bradley Ross.
Chris Antonetti said the Indians would try to make some moves at the trade deadline and he certainly was right. No other team was as active nor made as much of an impact on their team as the Indians did. They made 3 moves: they acquired Ubaldo Jimenez and Kosuke Fukudome and they got rid of dead weight in Orlando Cabrera. It will be key to see how these moves pan out because they h...

Marlins Fail To Make A Splash At The Deadline
Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Jon Melton.
ATLANTA — By the time the Marlins had handed the Braves the franchise's 10,000th loss, the trade deadline had passed with nothing to show for the Fish. Several Marlins players were on other teams' radars with Sunday's 4pm deadline looming, but when all was said and done, everyone stayed where they were. The Marlins salvaged a win on Sunday — although losing the series — and ...

Twins Welcome Back Denard Span
Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Jonathan Fawkes.
The Twins were very quiet at the trade deadline because according to GM Bill Smith, “I'd rather make no deal than a bad deal.” While this is an inarguable point the Twins are a team with a surplus of outfielders with Delmon Young, Michael Cuddyer, Jason Kubel, Ben Revere and Denard Span. Luckily Cuddyer can play first while Justin Morneau is still rehabbing from his neck surgery and...

Falcons Resign Key Players, Pick Up Ray Edwards
Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Josh Brown.
The Atlanta Falcons appear to be ready for the season. They've signed all of their draft picks, including 1st round pick WR Julio Jones. Julio Jones appears to be the spark that the Falcons offense needed last year. I know our team was good last year, but they lacked a truly vertical passing attack. The Falcons also released Michael Jenkins and Jamaal Anderson. Jenkins, a wide receiver, was a f...

Pirates Add Lee and Ludwick For Playoff Push
Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
The Pirates found themselves in unfamiliar territory as the July 31st trade deadline approached. In years past, as a matter of fact 18 years past, the Pirates found themselves on the losing end of .500 and were constantly the sellers. However, with an unexpected turnaround and only 4.5 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central, the Pirates found themselves in a posit...

Destiny…Mystery…Dynasty…History
Posted on 1 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Championships are as much about good planning as they are good luck – as much the result of good general management as they are good management. Baseball decisions must be made on the field as a direct result of personnel and financial decisions made in the front office. The Carpenter Family (headed by R.R.Ms son “Bob” and grandson “Ruly”) owned and operated the Phillies since taking ...
