by DMtShooter, Five Tool Tool11. Rich Harden, SP, Oakland A's. He's dominant when healthy, and not nearly healthy enough for the small market A's to make a commitment to. Even though the team is 7 games above .500 and has an outside chance at the post-season this year, the plan is for 2009, and   more...

The Nats love rewarding overweight 30-somethings in the midst of late-career years with new deals (see: Dmitri Young, Ronnie Belliard), and by giving Christian Guzman a two-year, $16 million contract it's evident they'll continue buying high and keeping expectations low.The other big news of the   more...

I've been reluctant to admit that Kevin Youkilis is more than a poor man's Casey Blake for most of his career. Maybe it's because the boys at the World Wide Leader were always telling us how great he is. Maybe it's because he doesn't look the part of an everyday major leaguer. Maybe it's because   more...

Names are surfacing from around the league. It's getting closer to the trade deadline, and teams are shuffling to make a move. I don't expect any big deals to get done, but there sure are some big names that are popping up.

One of the biggest surprises in the Top 10 has to be Kevin Youklis. Youklis has shown signs of power, but he best attribute is his runs   more...

So it's 75 games into the season and the Nats are still only 11 games under .500. Yeah, that's not too impressive, but considering they've been only about 11 games under .500 for a while now (well over a month, I think) it's not nearly as bad now as it used to be.

I was watching SportsCenter tonight, and the highlights from the A's-Twins ALDS game came on. I watched, expecting to see Mark Kotsay's inside-the-park HR off of the poorly thought out Torii Hunter dive replayed about 10 times.They did show that play, but what they chose to devote more airtime to   more...

All those who thought Dmitri Young would again be an All-Star, raise your hands. Now do so without blushing.It was only last September when Young was banished from the Tigers, unceremoniously and strangely, during a rain delay at Comerica Park. It was the culmination of a sordid year of   more...

I have always given baseball players a hard time; they are not athletes, they're very specialized individuals with excellent coordination. However, out of all the major sports, baseball players are the least athletic of the bunch. This is evidenced by the speed (or lack thereof) of Washington's   more...
