Here’s the fourth installment of the Top 10 lists (check the header for the others as well as the explanation), with special thanks to our own Garrett Wilson from Monkey With a Halo. Due to a variety of injuries, production issues, and normal promotions, the Los Angeles Angels farm system looks worse than it did […]

I guess you could say that this next Round 2 Movember MLB Mustache Madness matchup has the market cornered.  The first round winners from first base and third base will now vie for the current player corner infielder mustache title. Jason Giambi Giambi’s career may be on its last legs, but his mustache has clearly […]

Brian Sabean and Dayton Moore make a trade with each other and the smartest item in the deal is the pen the contracts were signed with. That would normally be the joke, right? But then you see why this particular deal was made and, well…um, it’s a good trade for BOTH general managers? Yeah, we’re […]

Time to turn two in Round 2 of the Movember MLB Mustache Madness current player bracket.  Our two remaining middle infielder representatives now have to try and avoid each others’ whiskered takeout slides if they want to advance to the current player quarterfinals. Jorge Cantu They said Cantu couldn’t win, but I say he can […]

Who ever said you have to spend big to get a quality player on the free agent market?  Well, I mean aside from Scott Boras.  But who really listens to him anyway? Sure, some of those big money free agents carry their team’s to new heights, but others can drag teams to new lows (for […]

Sometimes the Movember MLB Mustache Madness bracket can make for strange bedfellows.  Our next round 2 matchup pits a plodding catcher versus a speed demon outfielder.  Normally that would give one entrant a huge advantage, but not with mustachioed mastery on the line. Corky Miller Corky probably couldn’t ever throw out Pierre on the basepaths, […]

And so begins Round 2 of the Movember MLB Mustache Madness tournament.  The cupcake duals of the first round are over and the mustached men have been separated from the peach-fuzzed boys.  First up in Round 2, our current player reliever representative John Axford against the current player starting pitcher winner Carl Pavano. John Axford […]

We’re a couple of days into free agency, and thusfar, only one real domino has fallen – Jim Thome to the Phillies, and that’s not exactly a blockbuster signing. As the weeks go on, free agents will sign with new teams, players will be overpaid, and assets will be dealt. Here are ten players who […]

The first free agent of the 2011 class has landed – Jim Thome, in Philadelphia. Todd Zolecki of MLB.com is reporting the one year deal. Terms haven’t been disclosed, but it’s expected to be just a one year pact. Thome made $3 million last year with the Twins and Indians. The deal is questionable if […]

The Detroit Tigers looked like a solid choice to win the AL Central title in 2011, after adding slugger Victor Martinez at DH and not losing any major components. Sure enough, they won the division, even with Martinez only posting a 2.9 fWAR on the season. They got contributions from plenty of players, and won […]

Flags fly forever. The St. Louis Cardinals went on a magical run that transformed them from wild card also-rans on September 1st to World Series Champions on October 28th. Now, though, GM John Mozeliak is facing a winter full of uncertainty. Tony La Russa retired immediately after the World Series and Albert Pujols will be […]

The MLB Movember Mustache Madness Wild Card bracket is only getting wilder.  Before we put the first round behind us, we need to take a little bit of time to take a sneak peek at some of the finest future mustache All-Stars the minor leagues have to offer. Bryce Harper Harper is considered a five-tool […]

In the third installment, we’ll take a look at the Washington Nationals. Again, if you haven’t seen my explanation of what the heck I’m doing, please take a look first, and then, head over to the others I’ve done so far (click the “Top 10 Prospects” header for all). While the Washington Nationals finished third […]

The MLB Movember Mustache Madness Wild Card bracket is only getting wilder.  Since most owners are viewed as villainous characters, it is only fair that two of them grow some villainous mustaches. Ted Turner He doesn’t own the Braves any more, but his weird, snowy white pencil mustache lives on in infamy. VS. Arte Moreno […]

The MLB Movember Mustache Madness Wild Card bracket is only getting wilder.  We’ve already seen some ridiculous fake mustaches, but now we reel it in a bit to see some somewhat believable fake facial follicles face off. Ronny Cedeno He has to get extra credit for actually wearing the fake mustache while playing, right? VS. […]
