Who will be the Royals All-Star?
Posted on 20 Jun 2011 by Ryan Riordan.
It's been eight years since the Royals have had more than one representative in the Major League Baseball All-Star game, and the streak doesn't figure to end this season. In fact, were it not for Major League Baseball's rule that one player from each team make the All-Star team, the Royals most likely would not have a player in the Midsummer Classic this season. But since MLB wants everyone to ...

Posted on 10 Jun 2011 by Ryan Riordan.
First it was Eric Hosmer. Then, Danny Duffy got the call. Now, it's Mous' turn. Mike Moustakas, Kansas City's No. 2 prospect entering the season and the No. 9 prospect overall according to Baseball America, will make his major league debut tonight when the Royals play in Los Angeles against the Angels. To make room, the Royals optioned Mike Aviles to AAA Omaha. Moustakas was the No. 2 overall p...

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 ...

Sizemore Traded to Oakland
Posted on 29 May 2011 by Jeremy Klumpp.
This week the Tigers made a surprising move trading second baseman Scott Sizemore to the Oakland A’s for relief pitcher David Purcey. The deal comes less than a month after Sizemore was recalled from Toledo to replace Will Rhymes. Tigers management felt that Sizemore had his chances to earn the starting job at second, but never fully developed into the player they hoped he would. With Sizemor...

Future is Now
Posted on 5 May 2011 by Ryan Riordan.
It was widely believed before the season started that Mike Moustakas would be the first of the Kansas City stud prospects to make the big leagues, likely debuting in June. And the third baseman for the Royals' AAA Omaha team may still debut in June. But he won't be the first of the Royals' top-notch prospects to be brought up to the show. That's because Kansas City called up first baseman Eric ...

Posted on 21 Apr 2011 by Mel Suiter.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. —- Winning ugly, winning gracefully or just dominating an opponent for Eastern Michigan University baseball coach Jay Alexander believes that he will take a hard fought victory over a good-looking lost any time. For an extended time the win against the University of Michigan looked bleak but the Eagles loosen up their sleeves and reached into their magic hat and then rub...

FBIW#6 : 2nd base
Posted on 21 Mar 2011 by Mo Johnson.
While the top 5 2nd baseman get all the press, and rightfully so, the position is amongst the deepest in the MLB in 2010. Consistency reigns supreme even as you drop down to the lesser options for your fantasy team. Better yet, there are also some late upside type players that you can stash away on your bench just incase they put it all together. Only first base has a bigger assortment...

Posted on 17 Feb 2011 by Scott Johnston.
Today pitchers and catchers report in Phoenix, AZ for the Milwaukee Brewers. As good as that sounds, the news was even better yesterday, when the team and Rickie Weeks agreed on a 4-year extension through 2014 with an option for 2015 worth in excess of 50 million dollars. The team may be losing Prince Fielder at the end of this season if they can’t agree to a new deal with the slugging first ...

Diamondbacks sign Russell Branyan
Posted on 17 Feb 2011 by Josh Robbins.
The Diamondbacks signed 13-year veteran, Russell Branyan, to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training. The 35-year-old first baseman will compete for a position on the active 25 player roster. Branyan offers tremendous power to an Arizona lineup that lost 3B Mark Reynolds and 1B Adam LaRoche in off-season transactions. However, the first baseman strikes out at an alar...

Brad Emaus: Is the Hype Deserved?
Posted on 11 Feb 2011 by Jim Mancari.
I love when MLB analysts, bloggers and fans release their picks for a team's projected lineup heading into the season. In many cases, educated baseball fans arrive somewhere in the “ballpark” (no pun intended) of what the Opening Day lineup will look like. Since Terry Collins has given everyone a preview of at least two-thirds of the order, there really is no guessing game associ...
