I don't know if you've been paying attention, but the Cardinals' offseason has been poor at best. They have done very little to improve and their pitching staff looks very thin. For some reason Cardinals GM John Mozeliak thought it would be a good idea to do an online chat...

The Braves' bullpen has had issues over the past month or so, but recently they've been stabilized thanks to some good starts by the Braves' injury plagued pitching staff and their fill-ins. Who's been good and who's just horrible as of late?

The Mets head back to Shea after winning six out of seven in Washington and Pittsburgh, and in first place by a game and a half. They did what they were supposed to do against the teams they're supposed to do it against (didn't Yogi Berra once say that?). The bullpen is still...

Often when a team struggles or falls into a slump, fans look for someone to blame. A team just can't be over-matched one day, or possibly get shut down by a strong pitching performance. It's always someone's fault. In the case of the Mets, most people point to an obvious...

Over the last decade or so, the Mets have made some big trades. Big, as in acquiring superstar players (Mike Piazza, Roberto Alomar, Johan Santana), and big as in big (Mo Vaughn). Successful trades for second-tier players have been scarce during this timeframe, although trades...

I was surprised to see the Mets cut Duaner Sanchez today. I wasn't totally shocked, but I expected them to wait until closer to the end of spring training. Sure, it would have cost them another $100,000 or so to keep him for another couple of weeks, but for a team with a payroll over $140 ...
