Check out the catcher pool as it deepens. First, Wieters. Then Jesus Montero (I don’t plan on covering him. The Yankees are not the type of organization to turn over catching duties to a rookie enough to make an impact out of the starting gates in 2010.), Carlos Santana and Buster Posey. What’s next, a […]

I know what you were thinking when you saw the name Logan Morrison. Whatever happened to Nook Logan? Glad you asked. After he was named in the Mitchell Report under the sub-section, “Steroids Don’t Always Work,” he opened the “Change The Game Athletic Performance Enhancement, Motivational Speaking & Consulting.” (Center? Symposium? Corner store? C’mon, Nook, […]

I had a whole lot to say about Ian Desmond when he was first called up. I rambled for a few sentences about Bowden on a Segway and how old youngster, Esmailyn Gonzalez really is. He’s a Latin 20-something. He’s also known as Carlos Lugo now. This is brilliant. How cool would it be if […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?If you search for fantasy baseball, the first result is Fantasy Baseball ESPN. (We’re first for fantasy baseball blog. Natch! Or natchurally, if you’re a completist.) But this isn’t about fantasy baseball ESPN. When people find us, they are not searching for fantasy baseball ESPN. But what are they searching for when they find us? […]

Excitement froth from my mouth last year when I wrote, “Jason Heyward, besides having the surname of a 1930s matinee idol, has the mitts of a Yeti and the sturdies (<– that’s legs) of Frank Thomas. His man gams are 117% oak. Heyward just saved your life and you didn’t even know you were in […]

In our ongoing 2010 fantasy baseball rookie look, we bring you a name I went over as recently as August in a Neftali Feliz keeper post. Thank you for reading from The Department of Redundancy Department! Because he still falls in the rookie category (under 50 innings pitched), I must, I must increase my Neftali […]

Grady Sizemore had arthroscopic surgery on his left elbow back in September. It was deemed a success and here we are a little under ten weeks later and the team says he’s near 100%. I’m not a doctor, but my first instincts are to say the team is lying. That’s the way I like to […]

Carlos Santana is getting a 2010 fantasy baseball rookie post because I know people will ask about him. See, I’m psychic. BTW, I wouldn’t bring in the mail today. Just a bunch of bills and a 20% off coupon for Bed, Bath and Beyond. Carlos Santana is the catcher prospect the Dodgers traded to the […]

Last year, Brandon Allen treaded his six-two, two-hundred and thirty-five pound man-gams through Double- and Triple-A before hitting the majors in August. And by hitting the majors, I don’t mean hitting in the majors. As Lil Jon once said in grade school, I come correct with my prepositions, okaaaay!!!!! In the minors in 2009, Allen […]

Last year, Desmond Jennings won the Rays Minor League Player of the Year honors. In Double and Triple-A in 2009, Desmond Jennings had a slash line of .305/.391/.457 while chucking in 11 homers. You might be thinking it was a slow year in the Rays organization. Yeah, the opposite is true here, friend. Jennings stole […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sometime in 2009 it finally clicked in the collective Pirates brain that they needed to stop playing for now since they weren’t playing well for now anyway. And with that kernel of “ah-ha,” the Pirates sent McLousy off the plank and ushered in Andrew McCutchen, The Dread Pirate. The Dread Pirate proceeded to climb to […]

First, I looked for anecdotal evidence on Mr. Stanton. I found in 2007 the Red Sox offered to trade Manny to the Marlins, while paying his salary, for Mike Stanton. The Marlins obviously refused. Interesting, but the last time Marlins traded a prospect for a big name was exactly never. Still, the Marlins (along with […]
