Matt Holliday signed with the Cardinals after it became clear that no one else was signing him. Other than going to the Padres or A’s (again) or some other terrible team/park, I didn’t think it mattered much where Holliday signed. He is in the prime of his career and is what he is. A .315, […]

It’s the beginning of a new year. Time to reflect on the year that has passed. Time to make resolutions in the new year. Time to hope the Baseball Hall of Fame voters make a resolution to vote better. Last year’s nomination was a mixed bag for us. Only one of our 5 nominations made […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Punting catcher doesn’t mean you don’t want anything from your catcher spot. I don’t draft A.J. Pierzynski while waving a white flag.

Please, blog, may I have some more?Man, a guy turns in a mediocre season when he’s a twenty-two year old rookie and people abandon him in flocks. Let’s recap what I said in the first sentence. In 474 at-bats, Colby Rasmus hit 16 homers and stole 3 bases. At the age of 22. Sure, it would’ve been nice if he burst […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I took part in my 3rd mock draft for 2010 fantasy baseball the other day. Tis the season, ya’ll. And by the other day, I mean I did this mock about three weeks ago prior to the winter meetings/signings/whosehewhiches. So if you’re wondering why I drafted Randy Wolf or Rodney, it’s because it’s before they […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?In prepping for 2010 fantasy baseball draft day, I read that one wants/needs reliability at the top of the draft. Got me to thinking about which players and teams have the best records for durability. I selected any player that had 150 GP for any one season from 2006 through 2009, four years. There were […]
