Kansas City Royals Would Be Wise to Lock Up Eric Hosmer
The monster deal that the Cincinnati Reds signed star first baseman Joey Votto to this week had the baseball world buzzing – mostly negatively. The deal goes through his age-39 season and is back loaded so I can understand where the naysayers are coming from. I’m not interested in debating this contract’s place among the albatrosses that [...]
TweetNew York Yankees Opening Day Starting Rotation Still Strong
By going down with a sore shoulder, Michael Pineda made what was shaping up to be an interesting decision for the New York Yankees into an easy one. Most of the rotation was already set even though it wasn’t “official”, but there was some discussion over what the New York Yankees would do with Michael [...]
TweetNew York Yankees Fans Should Pause the Michael Pineda Panic
One of the buzziest stories from New York Yankees camp this spring was the diminished velocity of Michael Pineda. Accustomed to seeing the radar guns flashing readings in the high-90′s (or at least reading about them), New York Yankees fans became concerned when Michael Pineda was settling in the low-90′s. I definitely did not like [...]
TweetNew York Yankees Worth Four Billion Dollars?
By now you should be well aware that the Los Angeles Dodgers were bought for $2.15 billion earlier in the week. Opinions are mixed about the deal. Personally, I’m not terribly surprised. I’m more surprised that Frank McCourt walks away from the mess significantly wealthier than when he came in. Whatever though. I’m not here to [...]
TweetNew York Mets Should Trade Mike Pelfrey ASAP
Second semester of grad school is winding to a close which means the work doesn’t stop. In the past I’d be too happy to blow off studying in favor of combing through every nugget of baseball news that developed, but unfortunately I’m a better student these days. With that said, when I saw that the [...]
TweetNew York Yankees Should Hold On to Starting Pitching Depth – For Now
The New York Yankees are faced with a problem that we always categorize in the “good” column. With more starting pitchers than available spots, the New York Yankees will have the luxury of fielding the best five-man rotation that they can come up with. It is likely that Freddy Garcia will be the odd man out [...]
TweetNew York Yankees Update: More On RHP Rafael DePaula
On Friday afternoon I discussed the New York Yankees‘ addition of Dominican RHP Rafael DePaula. The saying “you can never have too much pitching” is especially true when talking about prospects. Needless to say, I was thrilled to find out that Rafael DePaula finally got his visa issues sorted out. I don’t imagine there was [...]

TweetNew York Yankees Add Another Starting Pitching Prospect to the Stable
The New York Yankees are enjoying something that is still relatively new to them – quality starting pitching throughout the farm system. Dellin Betances and Manny Banuelos are the two names that most New York Yankees fans are anxiously awaiting, but there are a number of other arms as well – both of the safe and [...]
TweetNew York Jets and Tim Tebow Will Have Last Laugh
The New York Jets did it again. They forced me to take my attention away from the diamond and devote it to the action taking place on the gridiron – this is particularly impressive as there isn’t any actual gridiron action taking place. However, some teams and players in sports just have a knack for [...]
