The Reds have a lot of room for improvement. The team was second to last in the NL in OBP last season, and 13th in the league in slugging. The pitching wasn’t much better, as they were 14th in FIP. Unfortunately, Cincinati doesn’t have any money to spend. GM...
Theo-in-disguise? new Padres GM Jed Hoyer The San Diego Padres have been a franchise in limbo for the past couple of seasons...
The Cubbies entered the off-season with precious little room for error, due to their already bloated payroll and long term salary commitments, and they’ve already erred by committing two-years and $7.5 million to lefty John Grabow, who walked five batters every nine innings last season. ...
This one time, I emailed Keith Law and asked him if he’d be willing to do an interview and he didn’t respond to my email until six months later! He was all, “sorry I got behind on my emails.” And I was all, “Oh, whatevs, Klaw. I didn’t want that interview anyway. Talk to th...

The Red Sox finished 7 games behind the Yankees and were swept out of the first round of the playoffs. How can they avoid a similar fate in 2010? Boston’s biggest problem in 2009 was defense. ...
The 2009 Mariners became a bit of a darling in the sabermetric world. The proponents of the non-traditional fielding stats such as Ultimate Zone Rating and Defensive Plus/Minus were actually able to see their beliefs translate to on-field success...
Jayson Stark doesn’t think the Philies should sign Chone Figgins because Figgins is a leadoff hitter and the Phillies already have a leadoff hitter. From ESPN.com: “What happens if they try to install Figgins in the leadoff hole? Th...
As a Phillies fan, the Braves’ rotation is keeping me up at night. Derek Lowe. Tim Hudson (who just signed a three-year deal). Jair Jurrjens. Tommy Hanson. Javier Vazquez. Good god almighty, that is a solid five. ...
Leave it to ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick. While all the other baseball hacks are reporting on boring stuff that nobody cares about (trades, signings, the crappiness of the O’Hare Hilton), he’s bringing us the good stuff. From Crasnick’s Twitter: In other news .. … [vis...
