The Mets can't be passive as they have in the past two years with relievers, they must go out and find a closer, but where will they find one....... There's the big two in free agency in K-Rod and Brian Fuentes. I think if the reports are true the Mets have all but past on...

Five Free Agent Signings That Make Sense (at least in my head)

1. Jason Giambi to the Giants -I know, I know, he cannot play defense. The obvious downside of this deal is that the Giants would be stuck playing the Giambino at first base 120-130 times a season, which is ugly at best. But think about it this way: the Giants just went out and spent...

This is how I think Omar Minaya should approach the Off-season: 1) Go and get a closer via Free Agency - Francisco Rodriquez, Brian Fuentes 2) Package Aaron Heilman and a prospect (Maybe Daniel Murphy/Fernando Martinez) for a Starting pitcher. The Mets this Off-season are going to...

I'm incredibly glad the Cardinals didn't go through with their Matt Holliday flirtation, but they're going to do something soon to shore up the bullpen and middle infield. As expected, there isn't much of a market for Adam Kennedy, and the Cardinals are surprisingly...

With a 65-54 record going into Wednesday's game against the Reds, the Giants certainly have surpassed expectations this year.
This was a team that was coming of a 72-90 season in 2008 and—sans the signings of Edgar Renteria, Jeremy Affeldt and Juan Uribe—didn't...

As the San Francisco Giants found out last year, the bullpen can be just as important as the starting rotation. While the starters compile most of the pretty stats, like wins, innings, strikeouts, and so forth, relievers handle much higher pressure situations, as well as the nitty...

In no particular order 1. No Tyler Walker to blow late inning leads. Walker was one of the worst setup men in baseball last season. He never was a good pitcher to begin with and he was seriously fat and out of shape last season, but Bruce Bochy kept on sending him out in the 8th inning...

The Jiffy-Lube Change of the Game flashes and you immediately start to worry.
It’s only natural. The Giants bullpen has been bad for so long it is easy to unknowingly jerk into this reaction when Bochy heads to the mound.
