In a recent blog entry, former MLB third basemen Morgan Ensberg had some harsh words for the recently retired Ramirez, including 'coward', 'cheat' and 'fake'.

by signing Morgan Ensberg. I'm obviously kidding, but I think this is a good signing for the Yanks. Ensberg is very much a wild card, but could hit 25 homeruns and end up the starting first baseman with Giambi transitioning back to the DH and Cabrera being traded for pitching help or being a 4th OF.

According to DRays Bay, the Rays are moving closer to signing Morgan Ensberg to a minor league deal. Ensberg's best year came in 2005 when he hit .283 with 36 HR in 150 games for the Astros. But since then, he has battled injuries as well as problems at the plate. He has been in Triple-A already, but it is possible he could make the bench for the Rays. This story was approved by MLB Rumors.

Morgan Ensberg has created quite a buzz among the sabermetric community with the most recent post at his blog entitled "You Can Throw Your Calculators Away". Now while the title would cause you to think that he's bashing on sabermetrics, that's actually not what it was about at all. It's a long post, but he concludes it with this: Sabermetrics verifies...

OK, admittedly Morgan Ensberg only played 28 games in pinstripes, all of ‘em at the tail end of a decade long professional career best remembered for a 36 HR total in 2005.  But with no disrespect intended towards Ensberg’s work between the lines, the early days of the newly launched Morgan Ensberg’s Baseball IQ reveal an unusually witty, self-deprecating voice...

The only logical explanation behind this picture is that Morgan Ensberg, much like us, greatly misses Peter Vecsey's old look and this is some sort of rally cry for him to grow the beard back.

Marc Normandin has written a very thorough analysis ($) and projection piece on Baseball Prospectus this week regarding Astros 3B (?) Morgan Ensberg. Trivia Question #1 from the article: What three USC Trojans rank ahead of Morgan on the all-time HR list for the school? Answer at the bottom of the

Evidently it's premature to put away your outrage, Yankee fans. Diehards of the Bombers were indignant this spring when non-roster invitee Morgan Ensberg was granted the No. 21 during spring training. No Yankee had donned the number since Paul O'Neill, and it had widely been assumed that the franchise would eventually retire it. However, crisis seemed to be averted when Ensberg...

Easily an upgrade over the platoon of Geoff Blum and Vinny Castilla...even if he's on the DL. No word on who the Astros would look for in return.

The San Francisco Giants selected power-hitting first baseman/third baseman Ricky Oropesa from USC in the third round of the 2011 First Year Player Draft. In his three seasons at USC, Oropesa batted .331 in 170 games (with 167 starts). The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder had 40 doubles, three triples, 40 home runs, 159 RBI and 13 stolen bases to go along with a .596 career slugging percentage...

This New York Yankees club, run by the pair of Steinbrenner sons who never wanted to be a part of the day-to-day operations until now, have a knack for signing thirty-plus players for their 2008 team.  First we had the honor of being awarded Old Man LaTroy Hawkins and now Morgan Ensberg. Sure, it&#8...

Earlier in the year, I made a post about the retired numbers for the Yankees.It was inspired by the fans' reactions to Morgan Ensberg wearing the unofficially retired Paul O'Neill's 21.Well don't worry. Morgan Ensberg will not don the number. Instead, he has taken the recently released Chris Woodwa...

From Ken Davidoff, via WasWatching.com:Morgan Ensberg, trying to stick with the Yankees, could be another option for the Dodgers; he can ask for his release if the Yankees do not add him to their 40-man roster on Friday.The Yankees, by placing Ensberg on their 40-man list, would guarantee his $1.75 m...

Well, this week, LaTroy Hawkins succumbed to pressure from New York Yankees fans who felt No. 21 still belonged to Paul O'Neill and switched to No. 22 when the team began a two-game series against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night. "What can I say? The fans have always been unbelievable to me there," O'Neill said in a telephone interview from his home in...

Baseball IQ: Why aren't players more honest with the media? Morgan Ensberg explains why. Again, I have to state that his blog is quality. He tends to write as if he is speaking to the computer, so it comes off a bit awkward at times, but he conveys his meaning clearly, and I enjoy his perspective. Anyway, what I really wanted to talk about was the first reply to...
