MLB Opinion: Grading the Phillies Offseason
Phillies GM Ruben Amaro needs to make the Phillies younger if he hopes to stay atop of the N.L. East.
The Philadelphia Phillies tied a franchise record with 102 wins in 2011. Despite a disappointing early exit from the playoffs, the team enters 2012 as the favorites to win the National League East and the pennant. Their division has become more competitive as the Miami Marlins and...

David Montgomery Optimistic Regarding Cole Hamels
"I don't think it's difficult," Montgomery said. "We've let Cole know we're anxious to have him stay here. Cole enjoys it here. He's not only been a quality pitcher, but he involves himself in the community. It'll probably come down to what we think is an appropriate length and what they think. You try to minimize risk by not going longer than...

Cole Hamels: Will This Be His Final Year With the Philadelphia Phillies?
When the Philadelphia Phillies inked Cole Hamels to a one-year, $15 million deal in the offseason, thus avoiding arbitration, it means the club will allow their two-time All-Star to hit free agency next winter.
Hamels is still just 28 years old, he’s never suffered a serious injury, and he’s a left-handed pitcher. A month ago, I wrote that Cole Hamels could get one of the largest...

Kershaw's win-win extension
Yesterday, Clayton Kershaw signed a two year extension with the Los Angeles Dodgers that will pay him $19 million over the deal. He'll get $7.5 million this season for his age 24 season and $11 million next year for his age 25 season, with one year of arbitration left in 2014.
At first glance, this seems like an excellent deal for the Dodgers. Tim Lincecum got $23 million for...

The 1987 4-Man Rotation: End of an Era
The 1980's witnessed the end of the 4-man rotation in baseball. Starting pitchers were becoming pricey and valued fragile commodities, not to mention bullpen specialist were starting to be used more frequently (thanks a lot LaRussa). Days of guys pitching 7-8 innings on 3 days rest became a thing of the past, as a quality start was defined as 6+ IP with 3 runs or less allowed...

How Optimistic (or Pessimistic) Should New York Mets Fans Be Heading Into 2012?
Over at Metsblog.com there have been a couple of discussions about what is expected of the New York Mets this season. On the pessimistic side, a scout explained why he doesn’t see the New York Mets cracking 70 wins this season. On the optimistic side, a fan asks if the same squad can manage 85 wins if a few things break right. I am definitely closer to the pessimistic...

Could the Mets Benefit from a Crowded Free Agent Pitching Market in 2013?
The Mets rotation, for better or for worse, is set for 2012: Santana (or replacement), Pelfrey, Dickey, Gee and Niese. The Mets also look between the end of this year and 2014 to add several young pitchers, like Familia, Harvey, Wheeler and maybe Mejia.
So I wonder if the Mets could benefit from what will be a crowded All-Star pitching Free Agent market next season. With Edwin Jackson...

Hamels deserves big money from Phillies
Virtually all contracts are defensible, even ones that don't turn out so well.
Philadelphia Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. had his reasons for awarding a monster extension to first baseman Ryan Howard and massive free-agent deals to left-hander Cliff Lee and closer Jonathan Papelbon.
But regardless of how one might assess those deals -- Howard looks like a thumbs...

My David Wright Collection
David Wright is my favorite non-Dodger, and a guy I wish was a Dodger. I've been fortunate to trade for a few Wright relics and his 2001 UD XRC, and was even more fortunate to find two of his signatures for very reasonable prices online (with one being free). It's about time I scanned all of my Wright hits and got 'em posted on the interwebs, so here we go. You can find...

Phillies pretty well set in defense of National League East crown
With this week’s signing of Cole Hamels, the Phillies’ rotation and lineup is pretty well set for 2012.

The most interesting story is the Phillies’ camp is whether the team can sign Cole Hamels past the one-year $15 million deal.The one-year signing of...

Have Cole Hamels and the Phillies already come to an understanding about his plans for the future?
Up to this point, Cole Hamels and Philadelphia Phillies have written the type of story that every team dreams about when drafting and developing young arms.
A young lefthander, Hamels was selected with the 17th pick of the 2002 draft. He came up as a highly-touted prospect in 2006, matured into an ace for the 2008 World Series title team and continued growing in 2010 and 2011 by...
