When relievers are mentioned who do you think of? Mariano Rivera? Jonathan Papelbon? Brad Lidge? How about Joe Nathan? Yeah, he’s usually not very high on most people’s lists, and when he actually comes to mind there isn’t much prestige pointed in his direction. This is a shame! Joe Nathan is the best reliever since becoming a full-time “closer” 6 years ago. Read the rest of this entry » Posted in Baseball | No Comments » |

The Chicago Cubs (35-35) currently sit in 3rd place in the NL Central, a mere 2.5 games out of first. They are 13th in the NL in runs scored, 13th in AVG, 12th in OBP, and 11th in SLUG. And yes, they still play thier home games at the hitter friendly Wrigley. Alfonos Soriano is playing awful, both at the plate and in the field, Aramis Ramirez is injured and Mike Fontenot hasn’t done a single thing with the bat, Derek Lee is finally hitting along with Geovany Soto, and Milton Bradley just had another meltdown and manager Lou Piniella is considering benching him. So, where am I going with this you ask? It’s simple: The Cubs need to insert Jake Fox into their lineup as much as possible. Read the rest of this entry » Posted in Baseball | No Comments » |

In the beginning of the season I was in the minority on 3guys in seeing the Nationals as perhaps the worst team in baseball. I had no idea it would be this bad, though… Unfortunately, the rumours flying around the Nation’s capital as Washington Nationals manager, Manny Acta could be fired by the time this hits the website. Really, could Acta have been given any worse of a deal? The Nats have been mismanaged ever since getting to Washington and worse, had no real help in the farm system until this year. This year’s 16-43 is an indictment of years of bungling in the organization rather than just a culmination of a total one year collapse. This team has very young inexperiened pitching and a very bad bullpen combined with a team that averages close to an error a game, unbelievable…. Two ill adivsed signings had to be of 2B Ronnie Belliard (.175 BA, .221 OBP) and SS Christian Guzman, a leadoff hitter who gets 20 BB/ 10 SB a year, if he’s lucky, which overshadows his .300 plus batting average.

It has been reported that Las Vegas High School catcher, and most touted 16 year old in recent memory, Bryce Harper, is going to get his GED and enroll at the College of Southern Nevada so that he will be eligible for the 2010 draft. He is the clear choice for first overall next year, something the Washington Nationals should be salivating about. Read the rest of this entry » Posted in Baseball | No Comments » |

Tomorrow is the big day. The day that the worst teams from 2008 get their shot at the best available talent in the major league draft and a shot at rebuilding their system with “inexpensive” talent. So, here is my shot at how the first round could fill out. Read the rest of this entry » |

As you may have heard, Rickie Weeks is out for the season with a torn ligament in his wrist. With the Brewers sitting at the top of the NL Central, with much thanks to Weeks, they must replace his production in order to hold off the rest of the NL Central. So, what should they do?

Well, it’s about time. The Orioles called up outfield prospect Nolan Reimold today. They gave Felix Pie a try and he just has not hit. They gave Lou Montanez another look. Bleh. Now, it’s time for Reimold to show Orioles brass that he belongs in the bigs and can give the Orioles one of the best outfields in the majors.

Rays top prospect Desmond Jennings is a legit 5-tool talent that has been hampered by injuries. Because of injuries, had Jennings only 102 plate appearances in his first stint in High-A ball and should have started the year back in High-A but the Rays took a chance and put him in Double-A and he is proving the Rays were justified in promoting him.
