“Chronological age does not have anything to do with a player of (Damon’s) genetics.” – Scott Boras Well, sure. Had Jesus Christ been around longer, I’m pretty sure that he would’ve been able to OPS … [visit site to read more] Tagged: Jesus, Johnny Damon, Scott Boras
What could the world champion, richer-than-God New York Yankees possibly need? What do you get for the team that has (apparently) everything? The question most Yankee-watchers have been asking is: Who’s in left? World Series MVP Hideki Matsui is a free agent, as is Johnny Damon. ...
The Giants are basically set for the next two years at least in the starting rotation, with Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, and Jonathan Sanchez all under team control til at least 2011 at cost-controlled prices...
Obviously, the Phillies are no fluke. And it’s temping to suggest that they should stand pat this offseason. After all, all the team’s best players are under contract for next season, and the rotation figures to be strong, with Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels, Joe Blanton, J.A. Ha...
Here we go again. Time for another edition of our semi-annual “What They Need” series, where we play GM for all 30 teams. As usual, we’ll be suggesting subtle tweaks for some squads, and major overhalls for others. Ther...
The Yankees are World Champions again, but it’s not the same this time. Evil Empire? I wish; at least “evil” is interesting. Instead, what we have is the rise of the boring over the bad. Somehow, Yankeefication has become synonymous with boringification. John...
For months now, everyone has been talking about how second baseman Akinori Iwamura’s $4.85 million 2010 option might be too expensive for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to pick up, especially with the explosive emergence of Ben Zobrist (your 2009 MLB leader in WAR). ...
Last week, I wrote this somewhat silly Metro column about why Red Sox fans should root for the Phillies. I was being glib and slightly facetious. But tonight, I really do think that everyone in their right mind should be rooting for the Phillies — specifically, for Pedro Martinez. ...
Last night’s World Series contest between the Phillies and the Yankees featured five solo home runs — one apiece from Hideki Matsui, Nick Swisher, and Carlos Ruiz, and two for Jason Werth. Is there anything in baseball more boring than a solo home run? I ...
So here’s the deal: Today the New York Post ran this gossip item and I know it’s last minute, but it’s Halloween and if nobody shows up to Citizen’s Bank Park dressed as … [visit site to read more] Tagged: A-Rod, Centaur, Yankees
Last night, two Phillies players tried on new looks. Ryan Howard showed up for the game rocking the playoff beard, and Chase Utley brought back the slicked back hair...
I’m going to post my own World Series preview later today, where I go position by position. ...
Today the New York Times has a story about all the bitter Mets fans who can’t decide who to root for (or against) in the World Series. Mets fans, let me make it easy for you. ...
It’s the post-postseason here in Boston, and Sox fans have been ruminating on what the team should do to produce a better outcome next year. And yet we haven’t heard too many actual, you know, ideas on how to make that happen. It’s just, um, like, try harder, I guess? But ...
Let me just start out by saying that Phillies *fans* are not boring. Throwing batteries at JD Drew is a lot of things, but one thing it is not is boring. But otherwise, just face it. The Phillies are one of the most boring teams in the National League, maybe in all of baseball...
