Cirque du Manny

By Jon ⋅ June 24, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Further evidence that baseball’s steroid crackdown is every bit as draconian as you thought it was: Manny Ramirez entertained a 15,000-strong crowd by brilliantly striking out and grounding out last night as the newest member of the Albuquerque Isotopes, despite his suspension.

TGIF: 2009 OF Rankings

By Pete ⋅ March 20, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Aaaahhhh finally, a position with some depth. It can be argued that you should address your shallower positions (2B, 3B, SS) in the first rounds and wait on the outfielders. This is actually a great way to draft. With more power than any other place on the diamond, the outfield has the luxury of hefty [...]

The World Baseball Classic is a Joke

By Adam ⋅ March 2, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

We’re already on the second instance of the World Baseball Classic and Bud Selig’s wonderful idea has already become meaningless. I mean honestly, who would have thought that the World Baseball Classic would not produce the best baseball from the top talent? Who could believe that so many teams would keep their players that had [...]

Ramirez, Boras Turn Down Dodgers Offer

By KC ⋅ February 3, 2009 ⋅ One comment

I’m not really sure at all what Manny Ramirez or agent Scott Boras are thinking. The Dodgers offered Manny a chance to be $25 million player for one season, and then re-enter free agency next year when the economy is in better shape. Plausible right?
Why should the Dodgers offer more? No team has publicly been [...]

By Adam ⋅ December 22, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment
