Up next in Movember MLB Mustache Madness is the catcher matchup of our Former Player bracket.  All I can say about this showdown is that while both backstops are Italian, they couldn’t possibly be more opposite otherwise. Sal Fasano The best part of finding pictures for Sal Fasano for this contest is that he has […]

Up next in Movember MLB Mustache Madness is the starting pitcher matchup of our Former Player bracket.  Both of these entries give us a first for the tourney, one is our first ginger competitor while the other is our first player to cross over into show business.  The common bond?  Fantastic facial hair. Jack Morris […]

After unveiling the Current Player side of our Movember MLB Mustache Madness bracket, we move on to the former player side.  And let’s be honest, there have been some truly stellar mustaches thoughout the various eras of Major League Baseball.  To start things off for the former players, we turn to the always mustache-rich reliever […]

Teams possibly in need of a closer include the Astros, Blue Jays, Marlins, Mets, Orioles, Padres, Phillies, Reds, Red Sox and Twins. That’s exactly ten team. Here are ten free agents that are available for your closer consideration. 1. Jonathan Papelbon (31) – Paps wants to set the market for closers this season. Although the […]

After being delayed 45 minutes because of a MAC football game that featured over 120 points being scored, ESPN’s broadcast of the Gold Glove awards “ceremony” started at around 10:45 tonight. First off, why would you schedule something like this behing a live event that has potential to run late? That’s just a ridiculous idea […]

1. Kerry Wood (35) – When healthy, Wood has been a serviceable reliever capable of punching out over one batter per nine innings. He gave the Cubs a tremendous hometown discount last season and the two sides are a perfect match for each other in 2012. 2. Vincente Padilla (34) – We can’t take much […]

In some late news today,

A lot of fans have really turned on the idea of the Gold Glove award. A number of the awards are given to players who have great offensive years, and they get the Gold Glove as almost a consolation prize. A good example of this recently is Carlos Gonzalez of the Rockies winning last year […]

The Movember MLB Mustache Madness continues.  We close out the Current Player bracket with our outfield matchup (and hopefully close out all the wordplay jokes too). Juan Pierre Who’s that man with classic facial hair?  Juan Pierre’s ‘stache!  Ya damn right.  They say Juan Pierre’s ‘stache is a bad mother-  Shut your mouth!  Just talkin’ […]

The Movember MLB Mustache Madness continues.  Shortstop mustaches are in short supply, but they are a bit like the Marines.  The few.  The proud.  The current MLB shortsops with mustaches. Brendan Ryan Another contender to win it all.  Ryan is another player who offers us multiple looks and is the rare middle infielder who has […]

There isn’t a ton of depth to the 2012 starting pitcher market and even some of the names toward the top carry some noticeable risk. However, there looks to be a few names that have the potential to provide production on the cheap for clubs willing to look past their 2011 struggles. 1. CC Sabathia […]

The Movember MLB Mustache Madness continues.  Time to break up the weak middle infield mustache offerings with some hot offerings from the hot corner (I kind of hate myself for that sentence).  So who brings the heat? Eric Chavez To think that Eric Chavez wasted all those years in Oakland.  Maybe if he had grown […]

The battle for the National League Cy Young award went back and forth in the second half, with the dominant Roy Halladay of the Philadelphia Phillies losing ground to Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers as the season went on.
