The Party Is In Miami
Looks like Will Smith had it right all along when he wrote the hit song some time ago “Welcome to Miami”. The Miami Marlins have made the biggest splashes of the offseason thus far by inking Jose Reyes and Mark Buehrle to long term deals. Reyes’ deal is a backloaded contract to ease the transition of payroll down in Miami and to allow more payroll flexibility this winter. There...

On this date in Giants history—Feb. 10
Happy birthday to former San Francisco Giants right-hander (and Sac State pitching coach) Jim Barr, who turns 64 today.

NL East: A Fascinating Place: Marlins
This is the third post in a series looking at the newly fascinating National League East Division. In the first two installments, the Phillies were given the top spot they deserve until some team dethrones them. They have been the king. The Braves finished a distant second last season with a fade at the end but were found to be capable of winning 95 games if everything goes according...

Cactus League countdown: Chicago White Sox
It's easy to see why Chicago White Sox fans might struggle to get excited about the 2012 season. The organization gave them little reason to think it is serious about contending this summer.
In trading All-Star left fielder Carlos Quentin and closer Sergio Santos and letting starting pitcher Mark Buehrle walk in free agency, general manager Ken Williams seemed to indicate a...

Hometown ties add motivation to Cosart
How does it happen that a 38th round pick becomes the top prospect for an organization? In the case of pitcher Jarred Cosart, it's not due to a sudden, completely unexpected meteoric rise through the minor league system. Cosart should have been a much higher pick.
"A lot of it was the sign-ability issue," said Cosart. "I was going to Missouri and I was probably going to start in...

Miami Marlins: Mark and Jamie Buehrle going to bat for pit bulls
New Marlins left-hander Mark Buehrle could have just quietly settled his family in Broward County and washed his hands of it. Yet Buehrle and his wife, Jamie, felt strongly enough about Miami-Dade County’s pit bull ban to do something about it for their rescued dog, Slater, and other owners of the breed.
The Buehrles have launched a campaign on change.org to gather signatures...
