People, I have a problem. It's been going on for the last three years or so, but I have finally taken the first step and admitted guilt. Quite frankly, I should have had this problem taken care of this past year, but I was just too proud to admit that I was wrong. As of January 1st, 2012, I am quitting cold turkey and finally forcing myself to lay off the sauce. For years, Ricky Nolasco has teased and tormented fantasy owners with his sparkling K/BB rates and xFIPs that scream "sleeper!" and "Breakout!" But alas, year after year the man I once deemed Hot Nolasco Sauce repeadedly failed to meet such expectations, leaving fantasy owners to lick the wounds of a $25 draft day bid or a 10th round reach.

Via The Fish Pond  |  December 27, 2011
MIAMI — Exploring the market for a frontline starting pitcher is high on the Marlins’ shopping list. But it’s not the club’s most immediate priority. Right now, bringing back free agent Greg Dobbs is a main objective, and the team is hoping to finalize a deal done soon. In 2011, Dobbs provided veteran leadership as well as some timely hits.

Did Mets front office do the right thing by letting Reyes go?

Via The Daily Stache  |  December 27, 2011
They say that if you love something, you should let it go. Well, there’s little doubt that many Mets fans loved Jose Reyes, but they aren’t the ones who decided to let him go. It was that cold, calculating, college-educated Mets front office that put all emotion aside and decided that they would not pay Reyes more than they though he was worth. Not even if he was about to jump...
