X-Factor: Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels head into 2013 as a nearly unanimous favorite to capture the AL West this season, if not take home the pennant in the American League. With the addition of Josh Hamilton to a lineup that laready featured a few big names in it, it isn't difficult to see why. Aside from […]

This is my nightmare: Los Angeles Angels

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 lot of the 2013 Angels […]

2013 burning question: Los Angeles Angels

Continuing from our season preview of the Angels earlier today… Is the Angels' rebuilt rotation good enough for them to return to the playoffs? Last year, the Angels thought they could bury the American League in an avalanche of starting pitching talent. It was a great plan on paper except for the part where they […]

You may say I’m a dreamer: 2013 Los Angeles Angels

What else can baseball fans do in January but dream of October? In You May Say I'm a Dreamer, the Outside Corner staff will imagine the route to a World Series in 2013 title for all 30 teams.   You could say the 2013 season was…heavenly for the Los Angeles Angels. Regardless of whether or […]

Topps removes Pete Rose from card backs

This is one of the dumber stories I've come across this offseason. Topps, who holds the exclusive rights to produce MLB-licensed trading cards, has removed all references to Pete Rose on their cards starting with the release of 2013 Topps Series One. The cards feature a "career chase" blurb on the back, indicating how far […]

2013 season preview: Los Angeles Angels

Thanks to an off-season spending spree, the 2012 Angels might've been the most disappointing 89-win team of all-time. Apparently they didn't learn their lesson though as they spent only slightly less this winter so that they could once again vie for a World Series or the "most disappointing team in baseball" label for the second […]

Dugout Digest – happy Angels day!

Our first week of previews rolls along today with Los Angeles Angels day. The Angels came into 2012 with a ton of expectations and couldn't even crack the playoffs, and might have even more pressure on them going into 2013 after the addition of Josh Hamilton. We'll be rolling today's pieces about the Angels out […]

2013 Top 10 Prospects: Seattle Mariners

There may not be much hope for the Mariners to contend in the strong AL West in 2013, but if pitching wins championships, then there is some serious upside on the way — and a catcher who can flat-out rake. My Top 10 1. Mike Zunino C 2. Taijuan Walker SP 3. James Paxton SP […]

X-Factor: Seattle Mariners

In Seattle, all eyes are (justfiably) always on Felix Hernandez. He's one of the best pitchers in baseball, he's close to agreeing to a huge contract extension with the team, and he's the face of the franchise. There's also a lot of attention being placed on new acquisition Michael Morse, former top prospects Justin Smoak, […]

This is my nightmare: Seattle Mariners

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. It's actually pretty easy to envision […]

2013 burning question: Seattle Mariners

Continuing from our season preview of the Mariners earlier today… Is the decision to move the fences in at Safeco going to be enough to ignite the team's offense or a final act of desperation? Desperate times call for desperate measures. It turns out the threshhold for desperation in Seattle is eleven seasons without a […]

You may say I’m a dreamer: 2013 Seattle Mariners

What else can baseball fans do in January but dream of October? In You May Say I'm a Dreamer, the Outside Corner staff will imagine the route to a World Series in 2013 title for all 30 teams. While a World Championship for the Mariners seemed like a tall order coming into the 2013 season, Jack […]

2013 season preview: Seattle Mariners

It was the same old story in 2012 for the Mariners. Another season of major disappointment including an embarrassing 17-game losing streak and pathetic offense sparked something of a sea change in Seattle who come into 2013 with a re-configured ballpark and a re-stocked, hopefully, lineup. They are still stuck in the ultra-competitive AL West, […]
