Now I understand this is one of those high in the sky posts that not everyone likes, but I can’t help but to mention Scott Kazmir for the obvious reasons.
It is no secret that Kazmir has not been the same pitcher for the last few years. Ever since 2008...

Scott Kazmir has lost his velocity
Figured I’d pass this information along since there are always commentor or two asking about him…
Scott Kazmir is still out there and wants to pitch, but the guy who was known for having a live fastball is stuck in the 84-85 mph range, according to Jayson Stark of ESPN.
Typically it’s not a bad idea to sign anybody on a non-guaranteed contract, but in this case...

LA Angels: Time for Halos to cut cord with Scott Kazmir
On Tuesday, Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Scott Kazmir, who has now been on the disabled list for seven weeks, made his first official rehab start with the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees. The results were eerily similar to Kazmir’s first start in the majors in 2011 on April 3 against Kansas City.

Kazmir to pitch in DR
Looks like Scott Kazmir is going to the DR to pitch, to show he's healthy and can bounce back from his recent struggles. Kazmir in recent years has struggled with injuries spending substantial time on the disable list. After the infamous trade to the Rays in 2004, Kaz made 145 starts with a 3.92 ERA, much like Brett Saberhagen his health in Tampa an every other year thing. ...

The Demise of Scott Kazmir
When Scott Kazmir said that the Tampa Bay Rays had a realistic shot at the playoffs in 2008, the media still found it hard not to laugh. Even so, Kazmir seemed among the best players to deliver the message that things were changing in Tampa. Outside of Carl Crawford, no player personified the Rays’ future more than Kazmir. Since joining the Devil Rays in 2004, Kazmir compiled 13...

Burning the Mets: Scott Kazmir Trade

Mets Interested In Scott Kazmir?
Scott Kazmir was released this Wednesday by the Angels after posting a 17.02 ERA in five Triple-A starts. His release should be intriguing to many teams, seeing as how Kazmir is only 27 years old and was at one point, the ace of the Tampa Bay Rays staff.
Kazmir is even more intriguing for the New York Mets, the team which originally drafted him, only to infamously trade him to...

Scott Kazmir's fall from glory
Scott Kazmir turned in 1.2 innings of something wildly opposite of pitching Sunday. Kazmir gave up five runs on five hits while walking two and hitting two. I cried thrice. This is the fifth straight start (dating back to 9/14) that Kazmir wasn't able to make it to the sixth inning. How can this be the same guy who had a sub 3.50 ERA, over 160 strikeouts and fewer than 90...
