Houston 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. In case you are unaware, the Houston Astros ”earned” the top selection and are faced with what some may call a dilemma: prep outfielder Byron Buxton or Stanford right-hander Mark Appel? [...]
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. In terms of raw filth, there are a handful of starting [...]
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 [...]
TweetNew York Yankees Lose Michael Pineda for Season With Shoulder Injury
The New York Yankees entered Spring Training without their top offensive prospect, but they were stocked with a deep and talented rotation. The trade that sent away fan favorite Jesus Montero created a split among New York Yankees fans, but even the ones like me that were in favor of keeping Jesus Montero had to at least [...]

TweetNew York Mets and David Wright Dealing With Tough Break
By now you are probably aware of the full cycle of news regarding David Wright‘s fractured pinkie. Apparently the New York Mets might not be without their third baseman for very long because David Wright has been told he can play as long as he can tolerate the pain. Even with this sliver of positive [...]
TweetNew York Yankees Fans Don’t Need to Sweat Slow Start
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. The New York Yankees have obviously handed out numerous scale tipping deals, but only one of those has surpassed the $200 million plateau (hell, it’s damn near $300 million.) That [...]
TweetNew York Mets Make Nice Call By Locking Up LHP Jonathon Niese
The 2011-2012 offseason was pretty damn quiet for the New York Mets. Aside from a small trade and the signing of a couple of mediocre relief pitchers, there was really nothing in terms of player movement for the New York Mets faithful to get excited about. That finally changed this afternoon. The New York Mets’ [...]
