Vancouver Canucks Summer Playbook
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
Everyone seems to want to dump on the Vancouver Canucks, but I would certainly call a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals a successful season. The main reason the Canucks lost is because of unfortunate injuries, a lack of depth up front and inconsistency from their goaltender. While 2 of those 3 can’t be cured with offseason moves, one of them will be the focal point starting July 1. The Canucks h...

TRADE TALK SEASON: CHECK WITH IRS FIRST
Posted on 21 May 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
It has become as familiar as the swallows return to Capistrano or the cicada which chirp toward the dog days of July and August. Usually by Memorial Day, the separation between contender teams and pretender teams has been meted out by record, standings, payroll, box office gate and contract structure (in that order). MLB teams with terrible records and high-priced players are desperate to swing...

In his first week of baseball at the Major League level, Kansas City's Eric Hosmer has lived up the hype and then some. The top prospect homered for the second time in as many days Thursday, helping the Royals take two of three from the New York Yankees in Yankee Stadium. Hosmer is now hitting .333 with a 1.158 OPS in his six games with the club, which led Kansas City Star columnist Sam Melling...

Pirates .500 After Weekend Series With Astros
Posted on 8 May 2011 by Justin Welton.
What does .500 generally mean for any sports club? The answer is mediocrity. To the fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates, though, it means much more. The Pirates haven’t been .500 since 1992, coincidentally the final year of the Barry Bonds era in Pittsburgh. As of today, the Pirates are 17-17 after taking two-of-three from the bottom feeding Houston Astros. They received three quality starts from ...

Belliard Signs Up for Phils Circus
Posted on 1 Apr 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
According to a story that broke Thursday night, the Phillies have reached agreement on a minor-league contract with veteran infielder Ronnie Belliard. Naturally the deal is pending a physical examination. We take these for granted but the physical exam actually negated a deal to sign relief pitcher Dennys Reyes this summer. Then again, that one took NINE DAYS. This one should be completed befor...
