Frank Catalanotto: The RBI Man
Who knew? RBI percentage measures how often a hitter earns an RBI when he has runners in scoring position. Over the past five years, the hitters with the highest RBI% are all sluggers -- guys like Papi, Delgado, Hafner, Pujols, Carlos Lee, etc. But then at # 18, there's little Franky Catalanotto, with his 32 total homeruns since 2002. For some reason, and without slugging, the...
Phillies sign Raul Ibanez
The Phillies went out and signed Raul Ibanez, who will essentially replace Pat Burrell. Pat "The Bat" will be missed and I hate to see him go, especially after some big moments for the Phillies on their way to the World Series, but we have a tremendous player in Raul Ibanez. The guy had 110 RBIs for the Mariners last season hitting .293 and joins only four other...
Dye Another Day
The Mets heard the asking price for Jermaine Dye, they told the White Sox, "Thanks, but no thanks."
According to Ken Rosenthal of SI.com,
The White Sox are asking teams for a young starting pitcher plus additional players for right fielder Jermaine Dye. The Mets, Rays and Phillies are among the teams balking at such a price.
Dye, earning $11.5 million in the final year...
Kevin Mench Signs With Rangers
It's official, Kevin Mench is back with the Rangers on a minor league deal. The 30 year-old lefty-masher joins the mix for a backup outfield gig.
Mench came up a Ranger and was traded to Milwaukee in '06 as part of the Carlos Lee deal. His best year was 2004, when he hit .279/.335/.5...
Carlos Lee (OF-HOU)
Carlos Lee hit a career milestone when he homered off of Greg Maddux; 1,500 career hits.
Lee's all look alike to ESPN's Jon Miller
Jon Miller can't tell Derrek Lee from Carlos Lee.
And some other bad broadcasting on his part this past Sunday night during the Cubs vs Mets game (with video).
Why Not Lee...
The Mets are said to be in the market for a right handed power bat who can play left field but the market for such a player is extremely dry. However; just recently it was reported that the Astros may look to move Carlos Lee as a cost cutting measure.Houston. All you hear about the Astros is ...
Astros Heart Beating
The slightly injured Lance Berkman and Carlos Lee lead off the seventh inning against Todd Wellemeyer with solo home runs, the first runs of the game. Both Todd and Wandy Rodriguez are pitching great tonight, combining for thirteen strikeouts and...
David Bell Traded to the Brewers
In return, the Phillies receive Wilfredo Laureano, a Class A RP with a 3.96 ERA. Although they don't get much, Pat Gillick acknowledged that the Phillies had no intention of resigning David Bell at the end of the season. He was in the final season of a 4-year, $17 Million dollar deal. Abraham Nunez and his .157 average will take over at third
It's a nice move for the...
The Angels Finally Get Their Big Bat
The past few seasons, the trade deadline has come and gone, and Angel fans like myself have listened to countless rumors involving the Angels, one of their prospects, and some big bat with an expiring contract (Carlos Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Miguel Tejada all come to mind) have circled, the Halos ...
AccuScore Fantasy Baseball - Outfielders
In my list of outfielders I have no problem starting any of my top 36 guys. That's not to say that I wouldn't start outfielders 37 through 60, but I don't want to build my lineup around those guys. How many outfielders your league starts will determine the approach you should take in your draft. If your league starts five outfielders you should take them early and...
What's Your Deal, Houston Astros?
The next stop on my quest to get to know the NL is in Houston, Texas. The Diamondbacks only left me with questions, I hope I can learn more about the Stros. What's your deal Astros?
Last year the Stros went 73-89, good enough for fourth in the weak NL Central. Their 2007 offense can best be described as paltry. This has been a problem with the Astros for far too long. Carlos...

Phlashback Phriday - The Bull
Usually our Phlashback Phriday subjects are not well known - Willie Jones, Jerry Martin, Todd Frowirth, etc. But today I thought I would mix it up and offer a Phillies great for reminiscence.I never saw The Bull play. He made his mark in Philadelphia before I was born and I've only ever seen him behind the counter at his bar-b-q joint at The Cit. So, I don't have any personal stories...
