Bad Time to be a Free Agent Middle Reliever

Jorge Says No

If you look at the list of free agents still available on the free agent market, one group in particular is rather untapped: the middle relievers. Quality relief pitchers like Joe Beimel, Will Ohman, Brian Shouse, Juan Cruz, and Brandon Lyon all remain unsigned and do not appear close...

To begin this off-season I thought it would be essential for the Mets to acquire a top notched left handed reliever ( Jeremy Affeldt). But the Mets have put together such a dominant 1-2 punch at the back-end of the bullpen, that I no longer see that as a necessary move. All the pen really needs ...

It's been a long time. Over two months since the Mets won a walk off game and finally, in honour of the ailing David Wright, the Magical Murph drove the game-winning single after the Giants brought in lefty Jeremy Affeldt special just to face him.This on the back of an unusually...

Pitching is the strength of the 2009 San Francisco Giants. It?s the one hope they have for being competitive this season. Well, that?s at least what?s been bought and sold thus far by the organization and the media.

Offseason Movement: The G-Men added a solid piece to their starting rotation in former Cy Young-winner Randy Johnson. The club also signed free agent Edgar Renteria to play shortstop, and added Jeremy Affeldt and Bob Howry in hopes to strengthen their bullpen. Rich Aurilia and Josh...
Affeldt gone, who's left?
November 18, 2008 by

"Giants add LHP Affeldt to bullpen." There goes that idea. The Giants were able to sign Jeremy Affeldt to a pretty affordable deal too, locking him up for 2 years and $8m. It's hard to tell if that number is inflated or right in line with the rest of the market given...

Season Wrap Up
2008 saw the Bond-less Giants tied for the 6th worst record in baseball at 72-90, but I actually thought they had a chance of reaching 100 losses so they did better than I thought they would. They went into the year without a solid closer, which effects the rest...

Cardinals in LOOGY Mode; Cubs Not So Much
The Cubs might as well stay right-handed if the Cardinals keep this up. From mlb.com: On Oct. 15, the Cardinals signed left-hander Charlie Manning, who was 1-3 with a 5.14 ERA in 57 games for the Washington Nationals. The Cardinals also have lefties Randy Flores, Tyler Johnson and...

Will the Giants Compete With Randy Johnson?

There are many reasons to like the Randy Johnson signing if your a Giants fan. First of all, Johnson is still a very effective pitcher, even at age 45. Last season, Johnson won 11 games with an impressive 3.91 ERA in 184 innings. The Randy Johnson of 2009 will never be confused for the ...

Not only is it believed that Freddy Garcia has reduced his search for a new team to the two NY teams but Adam Rubin believes a decision could come within 24 hrs. Despite all the backlash I stand by the idea of bringing in Pudge Rodriguez and at this point he may only cost a minor league deal. ...

The Dodgers defeated the Giants 5-4 tonight. Bruce Bochy should be fired as the manager of the Giants. This guy is a horrible manager and should never have been hired. Bochy kept reliever Jeremy Affeldt in the game to start the eighth inning after he pitched a scoreless seventh inning...
