Kings Trade Deadline Guide
Posted on 18 Feb 2011 by Eric Cooney.
I wrote an Early Trade Deadline Guide about a month ago and since then everything has absolutely, 100%… stayed the same. Rumors have come and gone, but the roster remains the same, for now. However, the Kings are still in the thick of the race and remain buyers come the deadline. If you're interested in the in-depth analysis of the Kings assets, check out the first link above. Aft...

Pujols: How Much Is Too Much?
Posted on 16 Feb 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Werth and Washington skewed the salary structure Rumorologists, rumor mongers and rumor specialists – including Timex Social Club (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ssm_MLoj74) of all varieties (professional, ad hoc, pro bono and those maintaining their amateur standing for Olympics) have indicated that the big story heading into the 2011 MLB season is the impending contract expiration of...

Turmoil Team Loses Another Close One
Posted on 29 Jan 2011 by Bob Ballard.
The Pistons caught a break Friday night while playing the Miami Heat with 2 out of their 3 stars out – Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. The Pistons were without their stars as well – Rodney Stuckey, Ben Wallace, and Richard Hamilton. Oh wait, Hamilton, the 2-time former All-Star, is out of the rotation so it really didn't matter he had the flu. Unfortunately, the Pistons continue to have...

O’s Add Vlad?
Posted on 22 Jan 2011 by Sven Jenkins.
In an off-season full of roster turnover, the O’s appear to have made one last significant move, signing Vladimir Guerrero to a one-year contract. The deal hasn’t been confirmed yet, but if it goes through, Guerrero will join a starting lineup that includes plenty of other new faces. President of Baseball Operations, Andy MacPhail, hasn’t had time for opening presents or shoveling his dr...

The Wells Deal: Sayonara $126 Million Man
Posted on 21 Jan 2011 by Ben Fisher.
Welcome to Toronto, Mike Napoli and (possibly) Juan Rivera. Mike, you will likely be our DH this year and Juan, you’ll get plenty of playing time in an outfield currently comprised of you, Travis Snider and Rajai Davis (yes, that’s it). Oh, and by the way, whatever you two can contribute this season is simply bonus since you guys have already helped us shed an albatross of a contract. In th...

Kendrick Sayonara Arbitration CBP Goes Super HD
Posted on 19 Jan 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The Philadelphia Phillies have avoided arbitration with right-handed pitcher Kyle Kendrick, agreeing to a $2.45 million, one-year contract. Oddly enough, due to the presence of Joe Blanton on the roster, Kendrick still is not certain what his role will be in 2011. The Phillies announced the deal on Tuesday. Kendrick's contract includes awards bonuses for performance and statistics. Kendrick wen...

Luis Castillo Batting Ninth?
Posted on 31 Dec 2010 by Jim Mancari.
Despite the gripes of Mets fans, Luis Castillo will at the very least be in spring training this season vying for the starting second base job that he once possessed. He no longer has the range of his younger self and has also lost a step or two on the basepaths. But the one thing about Castillo to keep in mind is that he is owed a ton of money in the final year of his contract. Omar Minaya sig...

Cliff Lee Once and Future Phillie
Posted on 14 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Believe it or not, Santa Claus delivered early in Philadelphia. Merry “Cliffmas” and Happy “Halladay”. “Oswalt” All Ye Faithful. “Hamels” Kwanza. Whatever faith you are, whatever deity you believe in, someone is smiling down on the Philadelphia Phillies. After much debate and self-imposed budgetary constraints, it turns out the Philadelphia Phil...

Rallying Behind Carlos Beltran
Posted on 9 Dec 2010 by Jim Mancari.
Let me start this post off by saying that when the offseason first started, I was firmly in the camp that suggested a Beltran trade, no matter how much money on his contract the Mets had to eat. The Mets were 48-40 at the 2010 All-Star break and then Beltran returned; which started the massive decline to mediocrity. I don't want to say that these two occurrences are linked, but it makes you w...

Phils Plan: Tender contracts to Francisco, Kendrick – Then What?
Posted on 3 Dec 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Kenrick should be the fifth starter in 2011... by default The Phillies announced on Thursday that they will offer contracts for the 2011 season to both OF Ben Francisco and pitcher Kyle Kendrick. Francisco and Kendrick are the team’s only two remaining players who are eligible for salary arbitration. Do the Phillies think Francisco is the next Werth? There was no doubt that the Phils would of...

Mets Bullpen Options in 2011
Posted on 2 Dec 2010 by Jim Mancari.
While the Mets starting rotation will likely contain several question marks, the bullpen appears to be a revolving door at this point. Two vital pieces from 2010 are likely out, with Hisanori Takahashi heading out west and Pedro Feliciano testing the FA market. Following the non-tender deadline, many serviceable bullpen arms will become available. Some of these candidates may come on the ch...

Zach Randolph Won’t Be A Piston Anytime Soon
Posted on 24 Nov 2010 by Bob Ballard.
As the Pistons roll into Memphis tonight to play the Grizzlies, there will be some buzz about Grizzlies PF Zach Randolph possibly being traded to the Pistons. Earlier this month, it was reported by SI.com that Randolph wants to leave Memphis since they refused to discuss extending his contract. It was stated that his preferred destination would be Detroit - Randolph played at Michigan...
