The Twelve Days of Cardinal Crapmas
MLB just won't stop putting out crappy products. We really thought this was the year! Trust us, we would love to be lazy and not bring you another twelve days of Cardinal Crapmas items, but obviously they gave us no choice. With so much to talk about since the season ended, we're not just doing this to kill time for once. We've got legit reasons:1) MLB knows that people...

This Doesn't Happen. Don't Think This Is Normal
With all the attention focused on the draft recently, it occurred to me recently to go back to Michael Lewis's famous baseball book, Moneyball, and look at the chapters on that year's draft (2002). Lewis dissects the draft, highlighting the players Oakland was interested in and the others who figured in to their picks. You could put together a pretty interesting all-star...

Mets Reliever Taylor Buchholz, On DL For Depression, Says He Felt Bad Crying To Another Man
Taylor Buchholz—who was actually decent in 26 relief innings for the Mets this year—is on the DL with depression. This is not altogether unusual: note Khalil Greene and Dontrelle Willis. What's unusual is the way Buchholz described his condition and the way AOL Patch explained his condition further.More »

The Morning Friar – 3/9/11
Clipped from: sandiego.padres.mlb.com (share this clip)
The Padres saw how Darnell, 24, could play in 2009 when he was named by the team as the top offensive player in the organization. He had the fourth-best on-base percentage in the Minor Leagues (.424) between stops that season with Class A Fort Wayne and Lake Elsinore.

One-Hit Wonders: Steve Fireovid to Charlie Haeger
This is Part 5 of a 13-part series examining the 65 men who have collected exactly one hit as a member of the San Diego Padres. Our current installment features four right-handers (one of whom earned 139 minor-league victories, one who once was traded for Cito Gaston, one who threw the knuckleball, and one about whom I can think of nothing interesting to say) and a left-hander who...

Why Rookie of the Year Voting Is Getting More Difficult
by Jeff FletcherFiled under: MLB AwardsRemember when the hardest part of picking the Rookie of the Year was finding one good one? You may have blanked it from your memory, but it wasn't long ago that we had guys like Angel Berroa (2003, .789 OPS), Bobby Crosby (2004, .744) and Jason Jennings (2002, 4.52 ERA, albeit in Colorado) winning the Rookie of the Year.

Me, Elsewhere: What if the Padres Had Drafted Travis Fryman?
The second installment of my “Reimagining the 1987 draft” series is up at Hardball Times. In our alternate reality, the Padres don’t take Texas right-hander Kevin Garner with the 10th pick overall, choosing instead Florida high schooler Travis Fryman.
In this scenario, Fryman would have been the Padres’ third baseman during the Ken Caminiti years (Cammy never...

Mariners Sign Mark Worrell
The Mariners signed right-handed reliever Mark Worrell, the team confirmed to MLBTR. The 27-year-old appeared in four games for the 2008 Cardinals and was sent to San Diego along with Luke Gregerson in the Khalil Greene trade. Gregerson has since become one of the best relievers in the league, but Worrell has yet to establish himself in the majors.

JJ Will Have The Last Laugh – Hardy Har-Har!
J.J. Hardy is an easy buy, which isn’t the same as an easy sell. Hardy’s not exactly promoting a yum-yum juicy chicken burger with a side of 30 homers and 20 steals. He’s cheap. His expectations are low. He’s 27-years-old and averaged 83/25/77/.280 at 24 and 25. Last year, he didn’t tune and check out with Khalil Greene, going off to mullet...

Additions:
SP Brad Penny: Penny will be the fourth starter in St. Louis’ rotation. He always seems to put up better numbers than you expect, but then always gets injured or drops off later in the year. He could potentially be a nice pickup for them.

But is it possible for their to be movement without any further injuries and in the absence of any exhibition games? Hey, this is the mock roster world. Anything is possible.
