Sheets to Oakland

The Oakland Athletics signed former Brewers pitcher Ben Sheets to a one-year, $8 million contract. This is a surprising move by Billy Beane considering he likes to sign players on the cheap and this signing is anything but cheap. All things considered I really like this signing for them. I know a lot of people [...]

Top 15 Fantasy Designated Hitters

1. Adam Lind TOR Everybody knew Lind could swing it, it was just a matter of when he finally got around to producing. I don’t know if he finally got a girlfriend and got his head on straight or just plain stopped sucking, but he put it all together last year. David Ortiz has ruled [...]

2010 MLB Off-Season Review: NL West

Arizona Diamondbacks Key losses- Doug Davis, Max Scherzer, Eric Byrnes Key additions- Edwin Jackson, Bob Howry, Kelly Johnson, Adam LaRoche Off-season grade- C+ Justification- I don’t quite understand trading Max Scherzer for Edwin Jackson. I feel Scherzer is a better pitcher than Jackson. It’s possible they view Scherzer as a reliever. I like the signing [...]

Houston Astros Top Ten Prospects 2010

1) Jordan Lyles-SP I really like him a lot. I might take some flack for rating him as their number 1- but I really think he could eventually replace Roy Oswalt as their number 1. 2) Jiovanni Mier-SS Real young and real talented for his age. Similar to SS prospect Starlin Castro in terms of [...]

Oakland A’s Top Ten Propsects 2010

1) Michael Taylor-OF Pretty much the prototype of the Billy Beane era. Came over from the Phillies and should fit in nicely within the scheme of the organization. 2) Grant Green-SS All star like tools. It’s a matter of executing with this guy. Could be the regular as soon as this year. 3) Chris Carter-1B [...]

Top 30 Fantasy Shortstops

1. Hanley Ramirez FLA Hanley has established himself as one of the top players both in real life and in fantasy. He should go in the Top-5 in drafts this year after winning a batting title and reaching the century mark in RBIs for the first time in his career. He is one of the [...]

2010 MLB Off-Season Review: NL East

Atlanta Braves Key losses- Javier Vasquez, Kelly Johnson, Rafael Soriano, Mike Gonzalez, Garrett Anderson, Adam LaRoche Key additions- Billy Wagner, Melky Cabrera, Troy Glaus, Takashi Saito Off-season grade- B Justification- I feel they upgraded the bullpen with the addition of Wagner and Saito. The Vasquez deal seems like a salary dump, but they got a [...]

Cubs Bolster Their Bench; Add Nady

The ever-versatile Xavier Nady joins the Cubs on a one-year deal in the team’s attempt to add depth to the outfield and at first base. The Cubs have been very vocal in their search for a fourth outfielder over the past few weeks. Names such as Jermaine Dye, Jonny Gomes, and Rocco Baldelli have been [...]

2010 MLB Off-Season Review: NL Central

Chicago Cubs Key losses- Rich Harden, Milton Bradley, Kevin Gregg, Aaron Miles, Aaron Heilman. Jake Fox Key additions- Carlos Silva, Marlon Byrd, John Grabow (re-signed) Off-season grade- C Justification- Considering the circumstances I think the Cubs have come out okay this off-season. Getting Silva for Bradley hurts, but getting $9 million from Seattle and getting [...]

Detroit Tigers Top Ten Prospects in 2010

1) Casey Crosby-SP The Kaneland, Illinois product that I’ve been able to watch personally. Left hander that throws in the mid to upper 90′s. Not far away, and could be the best compliment to Verlander around. 2) Jacob Turner-SP Another young kid I really like a lot. Similar to Crosby in terms of stuff, but [...]
