Phillies 2012 Seek New Faces
Posted on 17 Oct 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Fans and front office folks alike know that the 2012 Philadelphia Phillies will require some retooling. Whether due to contract expiration, negotiation or simply a desire to move in a different direction, all of Philadelphia can agree that 102 wins and an NLDS defeat is not worth $175 million. When that follows at 2010 NLCS exit and a 2009 World Series defeat, that 2008 World Championship seems...

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 ...

Soria out as Royals’ closer after another blown save
Posted on 31 May 2011 by Ryan Riordan.
On Sunday, I looked at the struggles of Kansas City closer Joakim Soria after he blew his fourth save chance of the season. On Monday, Soria blew up again, giving up three runs in the ninth inning as Anaheim came back to beat the Royals 9-8. And now, at least in the short-term, he will no longer be the man Kansas City calls upon to seal the deal in the ninth inning. Following Monday's loss, Ro...

Soria’s struggles continue with Sunday’s loss
Posted on 29 May 2011 by Ryan Riordan.
Kansas City's Joakim Soria blew the save Sunday, as Texas scored two runs off the Royals closer in the ninth inning to win 7-6. That marked the fourth time Soria has blown a save this season, which ties him with six other players for the most in baseball. No one could have seen this coming. In fact, the most saves Soria has ever blown in a whole season coming into 2011 was four in his rookie ye...

PHILLIES: TO TRADE OR NOT TO TRADE? BUY OR SELL?
Posted on 21 Jul 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
As the Major League Baseball trading deadline approaches, speculation abounds. Every video game player thinks that all trades are possible and that every GM can gauge their potential return on investment instantly through the magic of Playstation. Well, while that may not be true, every GM is burning the proverbial candle at both ends, trying to determine what deals are possible AND whether or ...

Further from a Closer
Posted on 26 Apr 2009 by Joe Coburn.
With Joakim Soria down for the next week, someone else is going to have to take over the closer's role. According to the Royal's website, “With closer Joakim Soria out, Trey Hillman has Juan Cruz, Kyle Farnsworth and Ron Mahay at his disposal as KC tries to win its series with Detroit…” there are 3 viable candidates. This is simply not so. Cruz, Mahay and Farnsworth ...
