Justin Upton would be a nice fit for several teams.(Photo credit: congvo)
Any time you talk about a major trade involving a potential superstar player you will get a lot of opinions. Since Justin Upton has been rumored to be on the trading block, there have been no shortage of trade scenarios talked and written about. Recently it has become pretty clear that the Texas Rangers are the most perfect fit to make a deal happen due to their depth at the two MLB-ready positions that Arizona is looking to improve at, SS & 3B. However sometimes the most obvious fit has its issues and roadblocks, so I am suggesting that a third team gets involved to get this deal done, and here’s why.
Texas is in desperate need of an ace. They have been rumored to be involved in the Zack Greinke bidding this offseason and Greinke certainly won’t come cheap, particularly with the Angels wanting to keep him and not let Texas pick him up simultaneously.

I’ll write a 2013 fantasy rookie post about Trevor Bauer, too. It’s inevitable. Even after Bauer was called up to the majors and produced a 6+ ERA, his stuff was still undeniable. There will be time to go over Bauer. Let’s shine some light on Tyler Skaggs so he doesn’t remain Barbara Hersey to Bauer’s Bette Midler. Sure, Skaggs doesn’t have the dazzling strikeouts...

Justin Upton is being shopped right now, and for us fantasy players this can be a nice boost to a guy who should be kept in pretty much all formats and someone that you should not let sneak past round 4.

Bell expects bounceback year; D-backs likewise
PHOENIX -- Heath Bell knows how to make an entrance.
He slid into the mound when arriving for his appearance in the 2011 All-Star Game at Chase Field, the first pitcher in, oh, ever to do that. He attended his first function as a Diamondback, a golf outing for charity Friday, in a purple-and-pink argyle sweater and socks, winning the Billy Casper lookalike contest in a landslide...

Every time I read the Braves Inbox (used to be called "Mailbag" but I guess no one sends postal mail anymore), I always answer the questions in my head before reading Bowman's replies. This was a fun off-season project last year and I'll do my best to keep up this year.
