Paying Attention to Prior Drafts: Second Basemen
We continue with our series of looking at how the TRI projections are comparing with actual drafts going on.

Who is Ronny Cedeno...
A few days ago Jon Heyman tweeted that the Mets are still looking for a middle infielder. It would seem they need someone who could play both SS and 2B, coming off the bench but could jump into a starters role if necessary. We've been hearing Jack Wilson's name for a while, in fact I did this post on him, but Cedeno I seemed to have neglected. On a quiet Sunday night with...

Frank Wren: The best in the business?
By Kent Covington
As the Braves survey the marketplace for potential trades and roster upgrades, they do so from a position of strength. That strength comes not only from their bounty of bargaining chips—few teams are as well stocked with young talent—but also from the competence of their front office.
Atlanta Braves General Manager, Frank Wren, is quite simply one of the...

Fantasy Impact: Reyes To Miami Great News For Han-Ram Owners
Once all the excitement subsides surrounding the Marlins’ first real free agent splash, there are two realizations all Miami fans will have:
Jose Reyes misses a lot of time hamstrung by his hamstrings
That sparkling .337 average is a thing of the past
We still don’t know how the new ballpark will play, but my guess is it’ll be more hitter friendly than Citi Field...

Dodgers sign former Rockies’ 2B Ellis
The Rockies’ desire to keep Mark Ellis had limits. They were comfortable bringing him back as their starting second baseman, but were seeking a one-year deal in the neighborhood of $3-million plus.
When the Miami Marlins signed Omar Infante to a two-year, $8-million deal before the season ended, the landscaped changed, decreasing the likelihood that Ellis would return.
That...

When Miami Marlins Uniforms Unveiled Today, Expect Orange Sunshine

The official unveiling doesn’t happen until 7pm ET, long after the sun has gone down, but in Miami, expect there to be orange sunshine coming from the Marlins.
Since early on, we’ve been saying that the rechristened Miami Marlins would be “rainbow-rrific”. In the early summer I was treated...

Florida Marlins 1B Sanchez, 2B Infante Gold Glove finalists; Thurman joins staff
As further evidence of the Marlins’ improved defense in 2011, two of their infielders are finalists for a Rawlings Gold Glove award.
Neither first baseman Gaby Sanchez not second baseman Omar Infante is a favorite, but being included among the top three at their position in their circuit is a worthy accomplishment nonetheless. A vote of league managers and coaches determine...
