The headline pretty much says it all, Josh Hamilton has reportedly had a relapse with alcohol in the last week. While details about the incident are still sparse, at best, this is major news as Hamilton is probably the most famous recovering addict in all of sports.

Today, the Washington Nationals signed free agent starting pitcher Edwin Jackson to a one year contract worth somewhere between $8 and $12 million. I wrote about what the market for Jackson looked like on Tuesday, and I really didn’t expect the Nationals to be one of the teams contending for his services. But here we […]

Any fan who has ever cared about a favorite baseball team has undoubtedly spent countless hours cooking up trades that they would like to see their team make. It’s ok, you can admit, we’ve all done it. Most of us are […]

Reports coming out of our nation’s capital are indiciating that Washington Nationals manager Davey Johnson is looking to have top prospect Bryce Harper start the year in DC in right field, with incumbent right fielder Jayson Werth shifting to center. My immediate thoughts are that the team is rushing Harper, and that they should let […]

This is awesome. Remember the Rally Squirrel, who gained so much attention during last year’s Cardinals playoff run? Topps has dragged it back into the limelight, prominently featuring the squirrel on Skip Schumaker’s Topps card for this season. Don’t worry Schumaker fans, this is just going to be a short print and not the more […]

The market for free agent starter Edwin Jackson appears to be pretty weak. He really hasn’t been strongly linked to any teams, but there are rumors floating around that he’s got a couple of three year deals on the table. Personally, I don’t think Jackson is a bona fide ace, and more falls into the […]

Manny Ramirez needs a paycheck. Well…chances are he doesn’t really NEED a paycheck. Over the course of his career, Ramirez has earned more than $200,000,000 (!) to hit the ball real far at the plate and watch it go over his head in the outfield. Buf if you have the ability and the option of […]

Change is scary. It takes us out of our comfort zones, forcing us to conform to a whole new set of societal norms and accept things that are both foreign and unnerving. It doesn’t matter if this change is for the better. The end of a toxic relationship, the big move to a big city, […]

1 1. New York Yankees Why they deserve it: Their biggest weakness outside of a lack of organizational depth was a subpar pitching staff. By trading their young DH labeled a catcher they managed to acquire a solid young starter in Michael Pineda and signed Hiroki Kuroda to a one year deal. Why they don’t […]
