External Options for Upgrading the A’s Offense
Posted on 29 May 2011 by Josh Muller.
Last week I discussed some in-house options for the A’s struggling offense and highlighted the prospects that I think would fulfill the biggest need for the big club. While graduating some minor leaguers might be the quickest and easiest solution to the A’s offensive woes, you can be sure Billy Beane and the A’s are exploring any and every avenue with which to improve the team. In fact I ...

Orioles = A Sign of Spring
Posted on 8 Apr 2011 by Sven Jenkins.
According to all-birds.com, the Oriole is a sign of spring. So it’s no wonder it felt like Mother Nature skipped over spring the last thirteen years, the Orioles have been nowhere to be found. However, it’s just six games into the 2011 season and the Orioles seem to have everything clicking for them. The offense exploded for nine runs in yesterday’s rubber match, giving the O’s a 5-1 ...

Pirates: The Official Pittsburgh Pirates Preview
Posted on 30 Mar 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
Pittsburgh, the City of Champions, as we Pittsburgh sports fans like to call it. The Steelers and their six 6 Super Bowl trophies. The Penguins and their three Stanley Cup wins. Pitt basketball, the reigning Big East regular-season champions. Then, you have the Pirates. With 18 consecutive losing seasons, the Pirates are out of place with these other teams, and often out of mind amids...

Team of Century or Just 2011
Posted on 8 Feb 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Next week pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training. April 1 is the season opener and between those two dates there will be a lot of Grapefruit League action. Prior to the 2011 season, it behooves us to consider whether or not the past decade (2000-2010) has been indeed the greatest in Philadelphia Phillies history. Back to back World Series appearances, four NL East crowns and three NLCS...

Shaping the New York Mets 2011 Bench
Posted on 28 Dec 2010 by Jim Mancari.
With the acquisition of Chin-lung Hu, let's take a look at some bench options this year for the Mets. Strong depth is always an important factor for success. Just look at the World Series champion San Francisco Giants. Usually, National League teams carry 12 pitchers leaving 13 spots for position players. Eight of those will be starters, so the Mets have to construct a bench made up of five pla...

How Misfits And Castoffs Became Champions, Part 2 Of 3
Posted on 29 Nov 2010 by Joseph Davis.
#17 Aubrey Huff, First Base Huff spent the majority of his nine years playing mostly for woeful Devil Rays and Orioles squads, which no human being should be punished with. The big guy wasn't exactly a hot commodity in the wake of a tough 2009 season with the Detroit Tigers. Far from it, in fact. In an era laden with talented first basemen everywhere you look, Huff’s career may have ended i...

Crave Exciting Postseason Baseball? Here’s The Recipe!!!
Posted on 21 Oct 2010 by Joseph Davis.
One starter was Joe Blanton, whose name suggests he could be a mall cop played by Kevin James (some would argue his build would, too, but I’m not going there). Another starter was Madison Bumgarner, who was still dripping vernix when the three men who fired the ceremonial first pitches Wednesday (Will Clark, Robby Thompson, Matt Williams) guided the 1989 Giants to the World Series. How ...

Rays in a Texas Showdown
Posted on 5 Oct 2010 by Charlie Crabb.
The Tampa Bay Rays are charging into the playoffs after a one year absence from October baseball. After clinching the AL East division on the last game of the season- thanks to a Red Sox win over the Yankees- the Rays can enter with confidence as they square-off against the Texas Rangers in the first round. The key to success for the Rays is to maintain their dynamic running game that has carri...

Who’s on Second?
Posted on 20 Sep 2010 by Jim Mancari.
According to Abbott and Costello, “Who's on first, What's on second, and I Don't Know's on third.” However, for the 2011 New York Mets, the question will be the following: who (not what) is on second? Let's be honest. Even before his recent injury, Met fans were not getting excited about the prospects of having Luis Hernandez man second base for us next year. If you look right now...
