Byron Buxton is the favorite for the No. 1 selection, but for the Minnesota Twins, Mark Appel [...]
TweetHouston Astros Should Opt for Byron Buxton On Draft Day
With the Major League Baseball draft just around the corner, it is time to talk about the first name(s) that will fly off of the board.

TweetStephen Strasburg Does Not Need Strict Innings Limit
Stephen Strasburg is a monster. From the start of the 2009 college season, to Major League Baseball‘s amateur draft, to his big league debut and on through his start that took place this evening, Stephen Strasburg has met and exceeded the hype and expectations.

TweetNew York Yankees Need to Reshuffle Following Mariano Rivera Injury
As you have undoubtedly heard by now, the New York Yankees got bit, once again, by the ravenous injury bug that has also wreaked havoc on the Tampa Bay Rays and Boston Red Sox this season. Generally, the loss of a team’s closer is a blow that can be overcome with more ease than other [...]
TweetToronto Blue Jays: Is Edwin Encarnacion’s Breakout For Real?
Led by “Joey Bats” (that would be Jose Bautista to those of us in the Unite States), the Toronto Blue Jays have boasted a dangerous lineup over the past few seasons. A top ten offense the past three seasons (No. 6 in 2011), the Toronto Blue Jays figures to be even stronger with the emergence [...]

Even with this sliver of positive [...]

This is certainly not the way New York Yankees fans envisioned the season starting. The Tampa Bay Rays are a good squad so it was never out of the question that a game could be dropped in the season opening series. Hell, maybe even two games. However, after the New York Yankees suffered a sweep [...]
TweetNew York Yankees: Who Is The Bombers’ Next $200 Million Man?
The $225 million deal that the Cincinnati Reds handed out to Joey Votto got me thinking about the New York Yankees and some of their monster contracts.
