MOUND OF TROUBLE
The seven worst starting pitchers ever
Several teams including the Red Sox and Tigers have really struggled out of the gate with their starting pitching. And since it's way too early to make anything of that fact, it did get this writer thinking about starting pitching and how bad it can get. This led to a Play Index search on www.baseball-reference.com and the following criteria was used:

WSBGMs Hall of Fame Ballot
It’s WSBGMs Hall of Fame time. As a reminder, here is how it works. Each year, Carson and I will nominate a few people (players, coaches, ballgirlz, etc.) that have had an impact on the blog. We'll put the nominations up for vote. If the person receives a certain percentage of the vote (which we will arbitrarily change every year to suit our needs), then he will be officially...

Questionable Roster Moves
Sometimes MLB General Managers do puzzling thing (ie. sign Adam Eaton to a 3 year $24M deal or allow Milton Bradley to be in your team's clubhouse). Here are some examples of questionable roster moves made within the past week.Detroit Tigers:Starting pitcher Brad Penny is added to the 40-man roster while starting pitcher Armando Galarraga is dropped a day after signing a $2.3M contract...

The Greatest Expectations
[Dash Treyhorn, formerly of the now-defunct "TheFightins.com" penned this post. Look for his opinion from time to time in this spot on Phillies Nation.]
Take a walk back in time with me. The year was 2006. It was December, and I was at a Christmas party. A week or two earlier, the Phillies traded for White Sox pitcher Freddy Garcia, who was a good, but not great pitcher...

Rumor: Mets pursuing SP Chris Young
If this comes to fruition it would be an excellent first signing by the new front office. The 31 y/o right hander has had several seasons that were injured plagued which will bring his price down, but when he is able to make his starts still shows signs of the All-Star caliber pitcher. In 2007 he missed several starts in Aug. due to a oblique injury but still ended up leading the...

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin…
The Padres have won nine out of their last ten games and have been roll-in over their opponents. Right now the Padres and their fans have to be thinking no team can stand in their way. They can beat up on the not so good teams and compete with the best teams in the N.L. They go into every series thinking they can win it. With Kevin Correia’s last win he became the...

Trading Jarrod Saltalamacchia Could Be a Bad Move
Over the last few years the Rangers have made some pretty good personnel moves: the signing of Vladimir Guerrero, The Cliff Lee Trade, Edinson Volquez for Josh Hamilton and of course the famous Mark Teixeira Trade. They have also made some bad ones: Chris Young for Adam Eaton, Alfonso Soriano for Brad [...]

Burrell Can Still Hit, Phillies Can't
Remember when Pat "The Bat" Burrell was released by the Tampa Bay Rays and WSBGMs begged for him to be brought back to the City of Brotherly Love, to only have Ruben Amaro come out and say the Phillies had zero interest in him? Yeah, well, since joining the San Francisco Giants Burrell has hit .333/.992, with 3 runs, 4 rbi, and 3 xbh in 7 games. Sample sample size yes,...

The Luck Factor - Pitchers
We here at WSBGMs are notorious baseball statheads. We really enjoy looking at and comparing UZR, BABIP, etc. We absolutely LOVE taking these stats and extrapolating grand theories and meanings with complete disregard to the formulation, limitations and value of each stat. Mmmmmm, I get goose bumps just thinking about proving Adam Eaton was a good pitcher via his strikeout to triples...
