The 2012 Oakland Athletics were one of the best stories in all of baseball last season. While some may prefer the Baltimore Orioles as the feel good story, I tend to support teams that actually had the statistics to back up their win/loss record.

All good things must come to an end, and the New York Yankees reign of terror over the American League East will finally come to a screeching halt in 2013.

It’s January 21, 2013 and Michael Bourn still doesn’t have a place to call home. Most baseball fans knew the open market for Bourn would be a slow-moving one, seeing as Scott Boras was his agent. But no one could have predicted it being this complicated. As of right now, there aren’t really any strong rumors linking Bourn to [...]
