Cooperstown Choices: Jeromy Burnitz
With the Hall Of Fame election announcement coming on January 9, 2012, it is time to review the ballot, go over the names, and decide who belongs in the Hall Of Fame.
There are twenty seven men on the ballot this year and we will take a look at each one individually prior to official announcements. You can find all of the profiles in the I-70 Baseball Exclusives: Cooperstown Choices...

For All Those Eliminated From Hall of Fame Contention on Their First Ballot
I have this weird affinity for players who are pretty good, but–in the grand scheme of baseball history–far from great. A few examples: My favorite player growing up was Jeromy Burnitz. As a kid, I’d pelt tennis balls at my mom’s aluminum garage door while emulating the likes of Cal Eldred. Even now, my favorite pitcher on the stocked Milwaukee pitching staff is none other...

History beginning to repeat itself
By the time Jim Duquette was named “interim” general manager in 2003, the New York Mets were in last place, 15 games out of first place. Steve Phillips was fired. Roberto Alomar was being booed everytime he stepped on the field at Shea Stadium. Jeromy Burnitz was seemingly striking out at a faster rate than [...]

Full Count: Patience limit
Brewers cleanup man Prince Fielder did not draw a walk Friday, leaving him at 99 and tied with Jeromy Burnitz (2000) for the franchise record. The Brewers are the only current major-league franchise that has never produced a player with at least 100 walks in a season.

On Angel Sano and Latin America in general
There's been a lot made lately of DK's story in the PG last week about 16-year-old Dominican super-prospect Miguel Angel Sano and the Pirates' chances of signing him. The dollar figures being thrown around with Sano's name are staggering. It seems likely that Sano's signing bonus could top $4 million and people are wondering whether (or maybe more accurately, how) a 16-year-old is...

Countdown to Opening Day - 20
Continuing our series, their are now 20 days left until the beginning of the 2009 Mets season. I have created a poll where fans can vote on who they want on each day in the countdown. Their were three options for number twenty. Those options were Howard Johnson, Shawn Green and Jeromy Burnitz. In a landslide, Howard Johnson won over the fans just like he did as a player on the New...

Former Player Watch: Minny Manny
On the heels of the latest ridiculous comments from Manny Ramirez it's only fitting to discuss the player nicknamed Minny Manny. Apparently Manny doesn't understand Scott Boras' MO otherwise he would know that the longer he waited, in Boras' opinion the better the deal. Instead Manny is insulted ...

Mets Payroll Still Short of Luxury Tax
In the history of the franchise, the payroll of the Mets has never exceeding $117 million, a high water mark they set in 2003 during the ill-fated Mo Vaughn, Roberto Alomar, Jeromy Burnitz era. In '07 the team came close, sporting a payroll roughly at $115 million. However 2008 figures to be a historic year for the Amazin's, according to Adam Rubin on his Daily News blog.

What has this World come to: Jeromy Burnitz holding up Roberto Hernandez Deal to the Yankees
The Pirates are insisting the Yankees take on Jeromy Burnitz and his 6.7 million dollar salary as part of any Roberto Hernandez deal. Burnitz is hitting .227. It's amazing that NY will have to take on a second less than average player just to acquire the first one, although Burnitz could be fun for a few games trying to hit bombs over the short right field porch.
