JEFF KENT RUMORS & GOSSIP

The second base position has been pretty good for the Giants compared to other teams in the past 15 seasons. In 1997, the Giants put some guy named Jeff Kent out there to start for six seasons. He was an all-star, MVP and is a future hall-of-famer. Then, the Giants threw Ray Durham in the second base position in 2004. Durham played well and was one of the Giants best players during...

If their receivers had simply caught passes and not fumbled. I digress. I completed my first trade with Adam who - though he does not blog to my knowledge - is well-known around the card blogging world as arpsmith. I sent him a pair of Jeff Kent relics and after looking through his bait picked out a sweet hit that I'm thrilled to add to my collection.RODGERS! It's my first...

Every year around this time, when All-Stars and Home Run Derby Contests take center stage, I think about former Giants players who made it to the mid-summer classic. And I find myself wondering if guys like Jeff Kent, a five-time All Star, will ever make it into the Hall of Fame. I certainly think he deserves to be. His name won't appear on the ballot until 2014, so we have lots of time to

While it was almost a guarantee that Kent would enter the hall of fame, but is it possible that Kent's candidacy was cemented because he played in the steroid era? Paul Molitor weighs in:"When you consider what he did in a clean fashion in his era, it will give him a boost," said Hall of Famer Paul Molitor, who came up as a second baseman in the late 1970s. "It...

Dodgers General Manager Ned Colletti told the LA Times that the Dodgers are "curious" about free agent right hander Pedro Martinez. "He's somebody we're curious about," Colletti told the Times. "We know how great he has been, and we know how popular he is in Los Angeles. Sources say that the Dodgers are on Martinez's list, but he is looking for...

TJ Simers, master of the takedown, points how just how mealy-mouthed and disingenuous the coverage of Jeff Kent’s retirement has been. Joe Posnanski hits another one onto to Waveland. Will ye no come to Chicago, Joe? (And for the geeks like me, here’s Posnanski’s eulogy for the late John Updike.) Since the Herald’s Cub reporter is too busy chasing...

By Billy Yesterday, Gary did his usual bang up job analyzing Jeff Kent?s chances of making the Hall of Fame. I am usually hesitant to go against him, because, well, he?s smarter than me. But I feel strongly enough about one of his major points to write a Superior offensive ...

L.A. Dodgers 2nd baseman Jeff Kent was revealed to have donated $15,000 to Proposition 8, a measure that would ban gay marriage in the state of California. This is from the same guy who publicly declared how much he hates Vin Scully.

I was thinking a while back about the articles written here about Ottawa Lynx baseball and the failure of many Canadian teams due to the "inclement weather". There is a league that manages to be successful despite being precariously close to the Arctic Circle - the Alaskan Baseball League.

Barry has his problems with women, drugs, the media, Jeff Kent, managers, the FBI... and apparently his offspring as well. Nikolai, son of Bonds, was possibly denied his 756th hug on Tuesday, as dad brushed him aside to relish in his own narcissism.
