Dugout Digest – happy Blue Jays day!

AL East week rolls on with the team that improved the most this offseason, the Toronto Blue Jays.

Yesterday was Red Sox day […]

Matt den Dekker robs Anthony Rendon of a homer

Matt den Dekker of the New York Mets is working hard in an attempt to procure himself a spot on New York's Opening Day roster. He spent last year split between AA Binghamton and AAA Buffalo, and the 25-year old posted a .779 OPS with 17 homers between the two levels. In the seventh inning, […]

X-Factor: Boston Red Sox

With as many high-priced, well-known players as the Red Sox have, finding a player to call an x-factor might be a little tough. Ortiz, Pedroia, Ellsbury, Victorino, Lester, Buchholz…all of these guys are expected to be key parts of the team in 2013.  My x-factor for the Boston Red Sox in 2013 is Will Middlebrooks. […]

Jeffrey Loria’s letter to Marlins fans proves he doesn’t get it

In Sunday's edition of the Miami Herald, Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria took out a full page ad and wrote an open letter to Marlins fans. Upon reading the letter, it proves to me that Loria still has no idea what the hell he's doing running the team. Go ahead and give that letter to […]

Mike McCoy and Ryan Langerhans had a terrifying collision in the outfield

There was a very scary moment in Lakeland today during the Blue Jays-Tigers game. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Jeff Kobernus of the Tigers hit a fly ball to right center field. Right fielder Ryan Langerhans camped under the ball preparing to make the catch, but center fielder Mike McCoy barreled in from […]

Bryce Harper’s left field defense is off to a rocky start

Bryce Harper is going to be the Nationals' every day left fielder in 2013 after spending nearly all of 2012 in center. Of course, after the team traded for Denard Span, Harper was shifted to left to accomodate the new acquisition. Anyway, in today's Spring Training opener against the Mets, Harper got a rough introduction […]

Prince Fielder’s Spring Training started with a mammoth home run

In the first inning of today's Blue Jays-Tigers Spring Training opener, Prince Fielder took a belt-high 3-2 pitch from Brandon Morrow deep to right field and *way* out of Joker Marchant Stadium, The ball landed way beyond the right field fence and in the parking lot behind the stadium. Not bad for his first swing […]

The Washington Nationals have a young, star-studded roster. Bryce Harper has been getting most of the headlines this offseason, but Stephen Strasburg is right behind him. There's also been a lot of talk about Denard Span, Jayson Werth, Adam LaRoche, Gio Gonzalez, Ryan Zimmerman, Jordan Zimmermann, and Dan Haren. But a player who was the […]
