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, [...]

Sox Create Late Drama in Opening Day Loss

By ⋅ April 5, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox couldn’t touch Justin Verlander all day. The American League MVP and Cy Young award winner started his 2012 season with a dominate performance, silencing the Sox bats over eight strong innings. He left the game with Detroit leading 2-0, and star closer Jose Valverde coming into the game. Valverde had a tremendous [...]

Ryan Braun Proven Innocent, Suspension Lifted

By ⋅ February 26, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Ryan Braun can sleep much easier these days. The Brewers outfielder successfully won his appeal of the 50-game suspension he received for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. In December it was initially reported that the National League MVP had failed an October test due to high levels of testosterone. Immediately a negative outburst of reaction [...]

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 [...]

Steroid Use Should Cost Ryan Braun MVP

By ⋅ December 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

When you get caught cheating, you’re supposed to be punished. Copy your friend’s homework? Zero on the assignment. Run a red light to save a couple minutes? Ticket. Carry on an elicit affair? Divorce, and probably half your stuff. Milwaukee Brewer Ryan Braun got caught cheating: he failed a drug test. While a 50-game suspension [...]

Ryan Braun Should Keep MVP Despite Positive Steroids Test

By ⋅ December 14, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Last Saturday night, the news broke that National League MVP Ryan Braun failed a performance-enhancing drug test in October. This dramatic truth revealed is devastating for MLB, which seemed to be beginning truly moving past the “Steroids Era” that began in the early 90′s. Braun is an established superstar of the game, arguably the very [...]

Fielder HRs, NL Pitchers Shutdown AL to Win All-Star Game; Beckett Hurt

By ⋅ July 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Adrian Gonzalez may have out-homered Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder at the Home Run Derby, but Fielder’s home run mattered most Tuesday night at the 82nd All-Star Game at Chase Stadium in Phoenix. Fielder’s three-run home run off Texas’ C.J. Wilson in the fourth inning drove in the winning runs, and National League pitchers limited American League [...]

Robinson Cano Beats Adrian Gonzalez in AL-Dominated Home Run Derby

By ⋅ July 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

I won’t say that David Ortiz chose his American League teammates for Monday’s 2011 State Farm Home Run Derby at Chase Stadium in Phoenix better than Milwaukee Brewer Prince Fielder chose his from the National League. But if players were possible Holy Grails, Fielder would have long since turned to dust, whereas Ortiz would be chilling [...]

After Rough April, Is It Already Time For Red Sox Fans to Panic?

By ⋅ May 6, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

We know. The Red Sox just had their worst April since 1996, but are we completely screwed? No. Not yet at least. Because it’s all we’ve seen, it’s not hard to imagine that the team that has shown up is the one we’ll have all season. The truth is that things will change, whether it’s [...]

Red Sox Need Big Bat this Offseason

By ⋅ November 3, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

After such a difficult elimination in the first round of the 2009 American League Division Series against the Los Angeles Angels, many people are looking for a reason as to why the Red Sox lost, and what they can do to fix the problem. Analysts have come out and said that Jonathan Papelbon has to [...]

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 [...]

Nothing New as AL Trumps NL in All-Star Game

By ⋅ July 15, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

The American League did it again, winning their twelfth All-Star game since 1996 in a record 2-hour, 31-minute game by a score of 4-3. Tim Lincecum started the game for the National League but found himself quickly in trouble as the AL squad was able to rack up two runs, one a result of an [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 13 (6-29 – 7-5)

By ⋅ July 7, 2009 ⋅ One comment

In one of my leagues, I am sitting in 11th place (out of 12) and decided to pull the trigger on a trade that was offered to me. I am trading Philadelphia 2B Chase Utley for Angels’ OF Torii Hunter and Boston 1B David Ortiz. I have officially broken one of my own rules in fantasy [...]

Fantasy Baseball Wrap-Up: Week 9 (6-1 – 6-7)

By ⋅ June 9, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Yay! Zack Greinke finally had his first bad start of the season in a 9-3 loss to the Blue Jays. I can now finally re-name the “Best Pitchers” section of the Wrap-Up. Greinke struggled last Friday against the Blue Jays by giving up five earned runs in five innings of work to raise his ERA [...]

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 [...]
