2012 was supposed to be a step forward for the Blue Jays…instead, it was more of the same. Jose Bautista dealt with ineffectiveness and injury all season, crippling the Toronto offense. The Blue Jays pitching staff apparently came into contact with plutonium, with the team using 12 starters this season. Only three of those 12 […]

2012 was a year of hope for the Royals…and they lost 90 games, mainly due to a horrendous pitching staff. With a young, cost-controlled core though, the Royals likely won't be completely reshaping their team in 2013. Needs Pitching, pitching, and more pitching. The Royals are set at nearly every offensive position on the diamond […]

MLB announced the cutoff for Super Two players yesterday, and the Nationals and Marlins caught a huge break as Stephen Strasburg and Giancarlo Stanton did not qualify for the extra year of arbitration. The players to qualify for four years of arbitration instead of three are Sam Fuld of the Rays, Josh Thole of the […]

Yeah, it was a nightmare in Boston for the 2012 season, and after dumping Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez, and Josh Beckett onto the Dodgers, the Red Sox certainly have some holes on their team for 2013. Spending recklessly is what got them into their mess last season, and I don't think they're going to go […]

The World Series begins today…finally. The last series of the year has arrived, and in the next four to seven games, we're going to have our champion of baseball. We'll have a full preview of the series between the Tigers and Giants coming later today. But what else have you missed today? After the Cardinals […]

After going crazy in the free agent market last offseason, the Miami Marlins are going to be taking a bit of a different approach this offseason. Heath Bell has already been banished from Miami, and he joined Hanley Ramirez, who was traded in July, in the NL West. Anibal Sanchez was also dealt in July, […]

The 2012 Cleveland Indians were not a good team. After the All-Star Break, they went 24-53 and manager Manny Acta got fired. Their big, game changing acquisitions last offseason, Derek Lowe and Casey Kotchman, combined for -0.6 fWAR between them and Lowe was released in August. Throw in a 5.40 ERA from 2011 trade deadline […]

The Twins are at a crossroads.  They just finished their second straight season of having a nine-digit payroll and 96 or more losses.  That isn't something you brag about.  It now leaves them having to make the tough choice of spending more money to try and claw their way back to respectability in a very […]

Calling the 2012 Cardinals season a failure because they didn't win the World Series is flawed logic. Yes, the Cardinals didn't repeat as World Champions. But they replaced one of the best players in franchise history in Albert Pujols this offseason, and one of their best players from last season, Lance Berkman, played in just […]

After our grueling regular season and a vicious set of playoffs that has seen five of six series go the full complement of games, we have our World Series matchup. It'll be the National League champion San Francisco Giants taking on the American League champion Detroit Tigers. It's the Giants' second pennant in three years, […]

The San Francisco Giants have won their second National League penannt in three years, and after Sergio Romo forced Matt Holliday to pop up to NLCS MVP Marco Scutaro to end the series…he did the Gangnam Style dance on the mound of AT&T Park in front of 43,000 and a crowd of millions watching at […]
