Davis and Hunter Have Failed to Impress the Birds
Posted on 12 Sep 2011 by Alex Van Rees.
The trade that sent the Birds’ most dominating pitcher, reliever Koji Uehara, to Texas on July 30th has really backfired for the Orioles. Tommy Hunter and Chris Davis have struggled and failed to help their new club record wins. In 2009, Chris Davis smashed 21 homeruns and drove in 59 RBI in 113 games with the Rangers. Although Davis has been able to collect his hits as a member of the o...

Lind Shines in KC Split
Posted on 10 Jun 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened The Blue Jays (32-31) experienced an even-steven four-games set against the Kansas City Royals in more than one way this week. Not only did they earn a 2-2 split, with the Royals taking the book-end games and Toronto triumphing in the middle two, but they enjoyed a scorching return from one line-up regular (Adam Lind) while losing another (Yunel Escobar) to injury. A Closer Look L...

Jason Giambi awoke from his 3-26 start yesterday in a big way. He smashed three homers and tied his career high with seven RBIs, leading the Colorado Rockies past the Phillies, 7-1, last night in Philadelphia. Giambi was making a rare start because first baseman Todd Helton had a back issues, Giambi went deep in his first three at-bats. The 40-year-old former AL MVP entered hitting .115 this se...

A’s Catch a Lucky Break With the Weather
Posted on 12 May 2011 by Josh Muller.
The rubber match between the A's and Rangers was wednesday night, but a rain delay in the fourth eventually led to the games postponement. In other words, the A's get a mulligan in an incredibly lucky turn of events. I'd be pretty upset if I was a Rangers fan. I'd be even more upset if I was Rangers first baseman, Mitch Moreland, who hit a grand slam in the game, the first of his career. But if...

Future is Now

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 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...

Compelling Argument
Posted on 25 Jan 2011 by Jeff Burke.
With the Padres shipping off all-star first baseman Adrian Gonzalez this off-season, it brings up the question. Can the Padres offense really be more productive after loosing the best player we have seen since Tony Gwynn? So much of the Padres offensive production has come from Adrian Gonzalez over the past few years that it is scary to think how the Padres will score runs without him, or i...

Jays Bring Back Encarnacion, Lose Others
Posted on 16 Dec 2010 by Ben Fisher.
Hands up those of you who thought that the Blue Jays would opt to welcome back free agents Jason Frasor and Edwin Encarnacion. Since I clearly can’t see how many of you have raised your hands, I’ll safely assume that few – if any – of you called it. I sure didn’t. Both men were brought back with relatively little risk – Frasor at a modest salary which arbitration will determine and...

Looking Forward
Posted on 14 Dec 2010 by Jeff Burke.
There is still a lot to be excited about in Friar town! The Padres have moved forward without many of the pieces that helped the team reach the highs of 2010. Now it falls to the players that have been brought in, and those to come, to keep up the competitive spirit that was so much fun to watch last season. The puzzle pieces are still intact. With Buddy Black and Darren Balsley, t...
