Continuing from our season preview of the Rangers earlier today… Are the Rangers going to be able to adequately replace the offense that Josh Hamilton and Mike Napoli provided to the team in 2012? Hamilton and Napoli provided a ton of offense for the Rangers during their careers in Texas. In just over 1050 plate […]

While the Rangers led the AL West from nearly wire to wire, they never dominated the division like many expected. On September 1st, their lead over the A's was just three games. On September 27th, with just six games remaining in the regular series, Texas was four up on Oakland. Then…they collapsed. The Rangers went […]

ESPN's Jonah Keri tweeted out this link to the first batch of this year's over/unders, from Atlantis in Las Vegas. Looking at the totals, there are a lot of interesting looking bets. Here's what I think are […]

In the This Is My Nightmare series, we'll take a look at what the absolute worst case scenario for each team would be in 2013. Think of it as the negative complement to our You May Say I'm A Dreamer series that we'll be running during our preview series. A lot of the 2013 Angels […]

This is one of the dumber stories I've come across this offseason. Topps, who holds the exclusive rights to produce MLB-licensed trading cards, has removed all references to Pete Rose on their cards starting with the release of 2013 Topps Series One. The cards feature a "career chase" blurb on the back, indicating how far […]

Our first week of previews rolls along today with Los Angeles Angels day. The Angels came into 2012 with a ton of expectations and couldn't even crack the playoffs, and might have even more pressure on them going into 2013 after the addition of Josh Hamilton.

In Seattle, all eyes are (justfiably) always on Felix Hernandez. He's one of the best pitchers in baseball, he's close to agreeing to a huge contract extension with the team, and he's the face of the franchise.

Just when we thought teams had learned their lessons about Native American imagery, the Cleveland Indians have put the above t-shirt for sale on their website. The shirt features an extremely stereotypical and somehow more offensive Chief Wahoo caricature. The logo in question was the team's primary logo from 1946-1950, so it's not as if […]
