Two Thumbs Down For Beckett in Loss to Tigers

By ⋅ April 8, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Sox have started the 2012 campaign much as they started and ended 2011—lifeless and losing. The Detroit Tigers handed Josh Beckett and the Sox a 10-0 loss Saturday in Detroit and the Sox are off to a quick 0-2 start. Sunday, they turn to Clay Buccholz to right the ship. The Tigers pounded Beckett [...]

2012 MLB Preview: Yankees Top American League Power Rankings

By ⋅ April 6, 2012 ⋅ One comment

For the Boston Red Sox, the 2011 season was an homage to all of the disappointing Red Sox teams of the past. The Sox had a potent offense, mediocre pitching staff and even a historic collapse to cap it all off. The baseball season is an epic journey and usually teams with the most talent, [...]

New Tigers 1B Prince Fielder’s Impact on the American League

By ⋅ January 28, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Prince Fielder finally found his suitor. The National League slugger waited and waited all offseason to find the right fit until the Detroit Tigers made a $214 million, nine-year offer that he just couldn’t refuse. Hard to blame him considering he’ll now be a part of the best 3-4 combination in all of baseball alongside [...]

By ⋅ November 13, 2010 ⋅ One comment

On Friday, the Red Sox acquired former top prospect Andrew Miller, in exchange for reliever Dustin Richardson. Miller was selected by the Tigers with the 6th pick of the first round in the 2006 draft, but he’s never come close to fulfilling his potential.  The 6’7″ lefthander was a college teammate of Red Sox reliever [...]

TGIF: Fantasy Baseball Draft, 2010

By ⋅ October 9, 2009 ⋅ 6 comments

With the end of the 2009 season, it is never too early to look ahead to 2010. To me, baseball season never ends and I am already thinking about my strategy for next season (most notably because I finished 9th in one league). Believe it or not, before the year is out, some fantasy guru’s [...]

Handicapping the AL MVP Race

By ⋅ September 8, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Seeing as there’s less than a month left to the season, we can begin to predict what the award winners are going to look like. The one I’d like to take a look at is the AL MVP race, and this is because it will divide old school baseball fans and more sabermetrically-inclined fans for [...]

TGIF: 2009 3B Rankings

By ⋅ March 6, 2009 ⋅ One comment

I guess one good thing about doing these rankings so close to the start of the season is that I can see what develops so close to the deadline. I was contemplating who I should rank at #1 for the 3B position between A-Rod and David Wright. Even if A-Rod did not need surgery for his [...]

TGIF: 2009 1B Rankings

By ⋅ February 20, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

First base has the honor of being one of the deeper positions in the game. With such a rich amount of great talent, it can be easy to wait on a 1B in your draft. Why not? There were 16 players who qualify at 1B who hit 25+ HR in 2008 so clearly power is not [...]

By ⋅ October 3, 2008 ⋅ 6 comments

OK, OK, I know what you’re thinking. Why the hell am I doing a draft preview for baseball now? Well frankly, I can do what I want but, that’s not the point. Let’s not lie to ourselves. As soon as the regular season ended, you were already planning your first round draft pick for next [...]
