Looking Ahead to the 2010 Draft

Though day 1 of the 2009 draft just ended, the casual fan has likely stopped paying attention.  While teams frantically struggle to get Day 2, the real cream of the draft,  prepared for, there is already plans to look ahead to 2010.  Like 2009, 2010 figures to be very pitching heavy early and often as [...]

2009 Final Mock Draft

We’re at less than 24 hours to the draft and my blood is flowing.  There are more storylines in this draft than I can ever remember and more uncertainty over the top picks than ever before.  There are bound to be some stars, and some jobs lost over these picks and a franchise’s entire direction [...]

The NFL Draft is presently going on, which means we are less than 2 months away from the baseball draft.  This year has a lot of intriguing names, and some definite future stars.  However, it also appears to be one of the weakest drafts in recent memory, with clear tiered delineation.  It should definitely be [...]

For 15 years, Phillies fans, including myself, have been anxiously awaiting the World Series, with a chance to avenge the ’93 loss. This year provides the best opportunity to bring a championship to a city so desperately craving one they fight each other over it. This team is a homegrown masterpiece, artfully built by Mike [...]

The injuries are well documented. However, what many [...]

The breakdown of Dontrelle Willis

Coming into the season, the Detroit Tigers were widely praised for “winning the offseason.” After all, they had just traded for perennial all-star Miguel Cabrera and former Cy Young runner up, Dontrelle Willis. These moves excited a Tigers fan base who had lost the World Series two years prior.
The Tigers thought they had acquired [...]

Nick Adenhart’s breakin’ hearts

When building a baseball team, the first request is an ace…a true number one, a stopper. However, only a few of these ultra rare commodities exist in today’s game. In fact, one counts fewer than two dozen, leaving every team scrambling. These are the players teams count on to stop a losing streak, the type [...]
