Let’s Make a Deal – Colorado Rockies Edition
Posted on 6 Aug 2011 by Steve Folsom.
You might have heard that the Colorado Rockies traded their best pitcher, Ubaldo Jimenez, last week to the Cleveland Indians. You also might have heard a variety of opinions from expert analysts around the nation as to whether it was a good deal. You want to know the truth? The truth is that this trade (much like all trades involving prospects) can't be properly judged for a few years. ...

D’Backs Lose in Pittsburgh, Win in Draft
Posted on 10 Jun 2011 by Matthew Hesse.
It was a very busy week for the Diamondbacks with a road trip to Pittsburgh and the MLB First Player Draft. The road trip was very unsuccessful losing the two first games to the Pirates, giving them a 3 game losing streak for the first time since the early part of May. The Diamondbacks would recover in Game 3 for a shutout win but the damage was still done. David Hernandez stumbled in Pittsbu...

Philadelphia Phillies: 4 Prospects the Phils Should Hold onto at the Deadline
Posted on 9 Jun 2011 by Adrian Fedkiw.
The Phillies have been very active at the trade deadline the last couple of seasons. This has many fans speculating that Philadelphia will once again make a big move at the deadline. I'm not as speculative. The Phillies already made their big splash by landing Cliff Lee in the offseason. Due to the signing they are a bit strapped for cash. If a move is made, it will be nothing drastic lik...

Pirates and Astros Preview
Posted on 6 May 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
Ok quick, name the team in baseball that has the most road series wins in the 2011 season. If you said the Pittsburgh Pirates, you would be right. This is hard to imagine being that the Pirates won all of 17 games on the road last year. Yes, 17 games, not series. It's the first week in May and the Pirates already have 11 road wins this season. At home however, the Pirates are a lowly...

Pirates Announce Rotation, Lineup
Posted on 27 Mar 2011 by Justin Welton.
The Pirates announced the starting rotation and lineup for opening day this past week. The starting rotation looks like this: Kevin Correia Paul Maholm Ross Ohlendorf Charlie Morton James McDonald I don’t know too many people who are willing to say that this rotation is close to average but there is some potential. Maholm could finally breakout and have a good season. Ohlendorf had a horrib...

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...

Phillies’ 2011 Pitcher Projections
Posted on 3 Jan 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The Bill James Handbook 2011 released its projections for the upcoming season. Naturally these numbers can change should the Phillies sign themselves some offensive help, an improved bullpen or a new pitching coach but… based on historical statistics, ballpark characteristics and the players currently projected into the starting lineup, this is the consensus for our “Four Aces,̶...

Can the Mets Do a Lot with a Little?
Posted on 6 Dec 2010 by Jim Mancari.
We've all heard the reports that say the Mets only have $5 million to spend this offseason. I don't know who said it or their source, but it does make sense since the team has over $130 million committed to its current club. Regardless of the actual figure, there's no doubt that the Mets are cash-strapped. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I wouldn't mind seeing the Mets go through a m...

Posted on 30 Oct 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Roy Halladay was a critically acclaimed addition for the Phillies last winter, and now he's won the support of his peers and competitors. Halladay was named the National League winner of the Players Choice Award for Oustanding Pitcher on Thursday in recognition for a tremendous regular season in which he threw a perfect game and led the league in wins. Halladay is VERY likely to be the National...

Yanks Will Try To Make Hunter the Hunted
Posted on 19 Oct 2010 by Patrick Blakeslee.
I hate the fact that Cliff Lee is so darn humble. . .so damn likeable. I wish he would run his mouth like Curt Schilling used to (and probably still does) or say stupid things like ex-Braves pitcher John Rocker often did so I had a reason to hate him other than the fact that he made Yankee hitters look like that were batting blindfolded. But no, he just goes out and pitches. Pitches good. ...
