Due to all the turnover at third base this year, I found it to be the hardest position for me to analyze thus far. A lot of the results suffer from small sample sizes, so past performance and peripherals become much more important. Blake DeWitt So let me ask you something, does a line of ...

Last night, the Dodgers' hitters were so inspired by Don Mattingly's mere presense that they decided to stop sucking. God only knows what he said to all of them before the game, but he should do it before every game. I would imagine his speech to the guys was something along...

I didn't fully realize what a boat of fail second base was until I did this review. I knew it was pretty bad because Jeff Kent struggled early, but I guess I forgot just how bad he was before Manny arrived. Blake DeWitt provided a little relief at the end, but i'll review him as a third ...

We Should Be GM's

There are no set criteria for being an ace of a MLB pitching staff. However, in my opinion an ace goes 7+ innings giving up 3 or less runs. An ace is someone who is a workhorse, can shutdown tough competition, and break up a losing streak. Cole Hamels was just that last season, turning...
