Via The Flagrant Fan  |  December 19, 2012
Unless Edwin Jackson is signed by a team he has already played with, he will be pitching for his eighth team in 2013. He is 29 years old. Switching teams is common for relief pitchers. But young starters who have made thirty or more starts for six straight seasons usually get to hang their hats somewhere for a little while. Durable and above replacement pitchers usually find a home...

Orioles interested in Adam LaRoche, but nothing seems imminent

Via PRO Rumors  |  December 18, 2012
First baseman Adam LaRoche is a free agent at the moment and according to sources close to Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun, “the Orioles have legitimate interest in adding LaRoche.” The problem is that by signing LaRoche, they'll lose their first-round pick in next year's draft, and as Connolly points out, that would go against GM Dan Duquette's plans of “rebuilding...

On the Nationals’ Interest in Adam LaRoche

Via Fangraphs  |  December 19, 2012

He hit .271/.343/.510 (127 wRC+), including a career-high 33 home runs on the way to the postseason with Washington.

Brad Lidge’s Memorable Moment

Via Fangraphs  |  December 19, 2012
If we were to sit down and create a list of the five most memorable baseball moments of the 21st century, the home run Albert Pujols hit off Brad Lidge in Game Three of the 2005 NLCS would be on it. It’s not even a question of if it would be on the list, but where. Baseball has a way of making your jaw drop — think David Freese, Aaron Boone, Bill Buckner — and that homer certainly...
