A look at Mike Pelfrey and my expectations for him heading into 2009

Forgot to update the video feature yesterday but managed to get a new fresh one up today. This weeks video features Jeremy Hermida and his entrance into the big leagues. Let's take a step back and remember what happened that night at Joe Robbie against the Cardinalsa??Jeremy Hermida of the ...

The New York Times has a pretty humorous article about Jerry Manuel and his latest golf outing. You could probably say I sip the Kool Aid when it comes to Manuel, but I like the way he handles himself, and how he's able to just laugh things off in front of the media, instead of saying mum and scurrying away.

With just days until the opening of the free agency, smaller market teams are making trades so they know exactly what they need to spend money on and agents are making the rounds. As any good agent would do, Paul Kinzer the agent for Francisco Rodriguez attempted to get the large market team ...

The Gold Glove award winners were announced last week and once again David Wright won the award at third base and Carlos Beltran won in the outfield. It is Wright's second gold glove and Beltran's third.

But I want to sleep on ita??It sounds like Olsen has some anger management problems,A but he's only 25 and at face value, it all looks good to me.A We met Jake Smolinski's mom last year at spring training and want to wish her the best with his transition to the Marlins franchise.A And congrats ...

Now that the Marlins have traded for 2B Emilio Bonafacio, it could very well mean that Dan Uggla's time is up in Marlin land.. Dan Uggla would be perfect for the Mets. He is young, gritty, and a right handed bat that hits for power and he does not make a lot of money. It would surely be a upgrade if the Mets can get him.. Also getting a right handed bat would mean that Dan...

This seems very odd to me, I know the Mets would like to bring in a Japanese pitcher and would like to change the lefties in the pen but a 40 y/o rookie doesn't sound appealing to me and if reports are accurate it sounds like they see him as a starter which sounds even worse......I'm all for ...

As many loyal readers have seen, I will step away from Sports Night from time to time in order to get my brain together. It's just my way of recharging the batteries, especially after such a dramatic end to the baseball season.The Mets' painful end and...

The Nationals have traded Emilio Bonifacio, P.J. Dean, and Jake Smolinski to the Marlins for Josh Willingham and Scott Olsen. This is a great trade for both teams. The Nationals acquire a solid starter with ace potential as well as a outfielder with some upside. Olsen was 8-11 with a 4.20 ERA in thirty three games this season while Willingham hit .254 with 15 HR in 102 games. Both...

According to the NY Daily News, the Cubs may pursue left handed outfielder Jeremy Hermida to fill their hole in right field. Hermida has been a disappointment thus far in his career but still has some potential to be a good player. Because he struggled, and is injury-prone, he should come at a relatively cheap price. The Cubs are currently exploring other options, but don't be...

According to Rotowire, ESPN-AM 1000 in Chicago speculated that Jermaine Dye could be available and that the Phillies would be a good fit. Just after the season ended rumors began to circulate that Dye would be available and I made a case for him then, now they have the added incentive of blocking the Phillies from obtaining the slugger.The Mets are said to be lacking a veteran leader...

(by Jeff Bergin) Some updates on the newest Nationals deal

The Nationals continue to stay busy this offseason, as they have reached an agreement to trade second baseman Emilio Bonifacio, right-hander P.J. Dean and infielder Jake Smolinski to the Marlins for left-hander Scott Olsen and outfielder/catcher Josh Willingham, according to an industry source. What a stupid trade for the Marlins, I guess no one is safe..... ESPN is speculating...
