Derrek lee says he will not negotiate a new contract during the season. I believe this works for both Lee and the Cubs.
Is Ryan Dempster Underrated?
Posted on Tuesday, February 23, 2010
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 [...]
Is the Mainstream Media Doing a Good Job?
Posted on Monday, February 22, 2010

Sheets to Oakland
Posted on Sunday, January 31, 2010
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 will [...]
