The Team to Beat in the AL Central

Tony Andracki Bringingheat.com Lead Journalist OK, so the Twins are still probably the team to beat in the AL Central. They can never be counted out. No matter what happens, you can turn your TV on the day after the regular season ends and there will be some sort of preview for a Twins game, [...]

My (reluctant) case for Nick Punto

To address the title, I’ll simply say I am not a fan of Nick Punto. I am letting all bias be known, simply and outright. I’m sure Nick Punto is a very amiable and likable guy in his personal-life; I’m not debating his character here. I have just never been a fan of Nick Punto: [...]

Mock Draft Madness: Rounds 1-10

One of the keys to filling a good roster on draft day is participating in mock drafts. They will help you figure out exactly what kind of lists you’ll want to have in order to effectively draft the players you want and need. For this draft, I used a tiered list of each position and [...]

The National League’s Most Dangerous Team

As we’re approaching the start to the 2010 season (FINALLY!), there’s one team that really hasn’t gotten as much love as they should have. Everyone forgets that this team has arguably the best 1-2 punch in baseball, can definitely hit if a couple guys regain their previous form, and play in a weak division. Who [...]

Is Ryan Dempster Underrated?

Ryan Dempster made the conversion from closer to starter for the 2008 season. This conversion was a success as he won 17 games with an ERA of 2.96. He followed up his 2008 season by posting an ERA of 3.65 for 2009. In 2009 he proved his season in 2008 was no fluke. You would [...]

Gulp- Can Joe Mauer be on the Blocks?

If you’re a Minnesota Twins fan, you know about the contract negotiations taking place between Minnesota’s favorite Son Joe Mauer, and the Twins.

Reyes to No. 3 in Mets lineup

It’s rare that a club is ever blessed with the dynamic abilities and prowess of a Jose Reyes. When healthy, the Mets shortstop is one of the most exciting leadoff men in the game, and provides a spark that is significant to setting the tone for the rest of the lineup. With his speed, Reyes [...]

A slow off-season for some well-known Major Leaguers

Why has no team signed Felipe Lopez yet? Coming off his best offensive season since 2005, the 29-year-old may remain team-less into March. He was an average-defensive player who hit .310 with a stellar .383 on-base percentage. Many teams would enjoy that as a starter, but would also love that depth on the bench. -Although [...]

Is the Mainstream Media Doing a Good Job?

Since I have a better understanding of baseball, there is one trend I have noticed and that is the more I learn about the game, the more I realize that those in the mainstream media are wrong. I see this as a problem because I feel that the mainstream is doing a disservice to the [...]

Cubs defeat Theriot

The Cubs have won their arbitration case against Ryan Theriot who will make 2.6 million instead of 3.4. This marks the end of a nice run the Cubs were on in NOT going all the way to a hearing, and makes the team 2-2 over the last two hearings. (Last one being Mark Grace in [...]
