The Brewers had a much more quiet offseason this past winter than they did following the 2011 season. There was no major free agent like Prince Fielder leaving town. There was no need to replace Fielder with someone like Aramis Ramirez. Milwaukee simply attempted to strengthen their club with deals that weren't very sexy, but […]

The Kansas City Royals are an immensely talented young team, but yet, they lost 90 games a season ago. Instead of continuing to be patient and push forward, GM Dayton Moore made a bold, and perhaps reckless, trade that netted him a pair of starting pitchers in James Shields and Wade Davis. Now, Moore and […]

AL Central week (also known as "the most depressing preview week in baseball"), rolls along today with the Kansas City Royals, who finished in third in 2012 despite losing 90 games. Of course, that didn't stop the Royals from thinking they were a starting pitcher or three away from contending in 2013, which led them […]

Towson University in Maryland isn't exactly a large, thriving baseball school like say, the University of Florida or USC. But after it was announced yesterday by the university that they would drop their men's baseball (as well as their men's soccer) program, the players responded in a unique way: by blacking out the name of […]

You know about all of Cleveland's free agent signings this winter. You know about Cleveland's young core that they're going to be building around for the long haul. But what about the other players on the team that might not be part of either of those groups, but will play a huge role on the […]

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 nightmare for the Indians…well, isn't […]

Continuing from this morning's season preview of the Cleveland Indians… What are the Indians going to get out of Ubaldo Jimenez and Justin Masterson in 2013? In theory, the Indians could have a very nice front to their rotation in the form of former All-Star Ubaldo Jimenez and Justin Masterson. When pitching at the top […]

If you've never taken a business class in your life, you're probably wondering just exactly a SWOT analysis is. A SWOT analysis can be used in numerous fields, but the most common usage is when a new venture or project is being launched by a company. The goal of a SWOT analysis is to uncover […]

Remember the Miami Marlins? Of course you do. Remember last winter when the Marlins spent a ton of money on free agents, and then signed a deal to have a reality show broadcast on Showtime, only to end it a week early? Of course you don't. Anyway,

Day number two of AL Central week is upon us, and we'll be taking a look at one of the more maddening teams in the division today: the Cleveland Indians. Cleveland fell from 82 losses in 2011 to 94 in 2012, and are attempting to stave off another losing season this year. Bringing in guys […]

Ask the casual fan about the Minnesota Twins, and you'll probably be amused by the responses. Everyone can probably name Joe Mauer, most can name Justin Morneau, and then…uh, well, I bet that some can come up with the name Josh Willingham. And then, nothing.

Continuing from this morning's season preview of the Minnesota Twins… Simply put, will the Minnesota rotation be good enough to push them into contention in 2013? The Twins rotation is…well, calling them a motley bunch might not be the appropriate terminology. The Opening Day status of their best starter from a year ago, Scott Diamond, […]
