Ten players ready to make the leap in 2015

Trying to find a player due for a breakout season is fun, especially if: a) it’s a player from your favorite team and you tell other fans you’ve found a player to watch, or b) you play fantasy baseball and like rubbing it in to your friends that you know way more than they do. […]

Five players with something to prove in 2015

Sometimes having a chip on your shoulder is the best thing for a ballplayer. Having something to prove, or the desire to prove someone wrong, can sometimes be enough to push a guy into having a career year.

Yankees cap

The best caps for every team in baseball

Baseball teams have so many different caps these days, it’s almost impossible to keep up. There are home caps, road caps, alternate homes, alternate roads, batting practice caps, road batting practice caps… it’s insanity. And if you’re anything like me, you want to own 90% of them.

The best and worst signings of the offseason

Baseball’s long, dark winter is just about over, which means it’s time for writers to judge how each team did in the offseason with their signings, trades, and other transactions.

Ranking baseball’s best and worst looking uniforms

Baseball fans are very protective of their team’s uniforms, and rightfully so. It’s the banner an entire fan base rallies around, something that unites them, and they don’t take kindly to someone disparaging their team’s look. It’s completely understandable. Still, there’s no denying that some team’s uniform sets are better than others, and in some […]

The five best and five worst GM’s in baseball

What makes a general manager a “good” general manager? Is it a willingness to take risks? An emphasis on sabermetrics? Or the discipline to hold the line, be patient, and trust a process? It could be any of those things; conversely, all of those things can also make a GM a “bad” one. It’s a […]

The winners and losers of the 2014 Winter Meetings

Pablo Sandoval

Pablo Sandoval: the Giants fan’s lament

Pablo Sandoval leaving for the Red Sox is probably a good thing for the Giants, in the long term. Sandoval’s body likely won’t allow him to play third base a few years from now, his stats have gotten progressively worse over the past few seasons, and that’s a lot of money to tie up in […]

End of season post-mortem: San Francisco Giants

For the third time in five years, the San Francisco Giants raised the World Series trophy in spite of virtually nobody thinking they would.

Five keys for the Giants in the World Series

The San Francisco Giants are four wins away from their third World Series championship in five seasons, which is pretty unbelievable considering the franchise went 56 years between their last title and their first one in this current run.
