Daily Friar 1.5.13
I love days like today. People are writing articles about the Padres and are sparking interest in the club yet again. As I am typing this up I am looking at the tabs that I have open to see what I am going to post for you all; today I have eight tabs. It makes my job so much easier when I have material to post (obviously). The good news today too is that majority of the articles...

As 2012 winds down, Scott Rozell asked MMO the following questions:
I thought I’d check your thoughts on the Mets signing Jose Valverde. I know his performance has declined, but the reward could be great and he could be had at less cost than the other high profile relievers. Speaking of that category, what are the Mets’ thoughts, or yours, on JP Howell? He’s younger and seems...

Its only been two weeks since the Tampa Bay Rays scattered to the wind, heading to their respective homes to adjust to an offseason that arrived far earlier than they would have liked.
Or since Rays vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and manager Joe Maddon sat side-by-side in the teams auxiliary clubhouse delivering their post-mortem, instead of delving into the...
Tampa Bay Rays Have Star Trek Night
Well I'm not sure how many light years the Tampa Bay Rays are from a playoff berth, but they hosted a Star Trek Night at a game on Thursday.It makes sense since Joe Maddon commands the team like Captain Kirk and I've always thought that JP Howell kind of looked like a Tribble (did they call triples "Tribbles"? That would have been good. Actually it probably...
