Scott Kazmir Throwing For Scouts, Would You Be Interested?
Scott Kazmir, a free agent, will throw for scouts in Houston Wednesday.
— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) February 12, 2012
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...

2012 Free Agents left unsigned so far - 2/2/12
Below is the 2012 Free Agent list of players left unsigned so far this off-season.
I used the last column of each player to comment on rumors I have heard and plain comments. Lot of interesting names on the list that include Scott Kazmir, Rich Harden.
If you see a letter in the fourth column that means they are Type A or B Free Agents, Team will owe compensation (picks).

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...

eMailbag: 3 Q’s, 3 A’s on Tejada, Upton & Kazmir
John in Hicksville sent in the following e-mail:
“Why haven’t the Mets explored the idea of signing Scott Kazmir?”
Who said they haven’t? From what I can tell, the Mets are pretty open to bringing in people on minor league deals to compete in Spring Training. I have not heard Kazmir mentioned, but it doesn’t mean he hasn’t been discussed. I do know the team is talking...

Finally! The Moves We Have Been Waiting For!
The Mets have announced a series of moves that will guarantee their position playing October baseball next season. Let’s start from the top.
Miguel Batista’s Triumphant Return — The veteran righty made the Reds weep in the season finale last year, as he threw a two-hit gem against them. I can hardly argue the rationale to bring him back. They gave him a minor league...

RANTS AND RAVES
Time for a stream of semi-consciousness not all of it Mets related :
I’m as upset as most Mets fans with the inactivity so far by the front office in procurement of players but when you look at the list of free agents still available I’m hoping its Sandy Alderson playing the supply and demand game and not the We’re broke game. There are still some good players and some serviceable...

There's More than One Way to Build a Champion
There isn’t one specific path that a General Manager may choose that will lead to successful navigation of the free agent waters. In fact, it seems the only way to really win when it comes to the free agent/trade market is for a GM to shell out copious amounts of money on the right player. But General Managers, specifically those without a 150 million dollar payroll, may need...

Rays Lose Former Top Prospect In Rule 5 Draft
The Rays did not make any selections in today’s Rule 5 draft. They did lose two minor leaguers in the minor league portion of the draft. Catcher Gerardo Olivares was taken by the Red Sox in the triple-A portion of the draft. And Matt Sweeney was selected by the Orioles in the double-A portion of the draft.
Sweeney is a bit of a loss for the Rays, but more because he has failed...

There is not a lot going on in the Raysiverse. Sure, we could point you in the direction of yet another piece talking about what a collosal failure Dioner Navarro has been. Or we could tell you that Scott Kazmir will pitch in the Dominican Republic to try and save his career.
But really, we would rather just show you this cool mash-up of LeGarrette Blount’s touchdown run against...

Amusing Happenings
If the year were 2008, news involving Matt Antonelli, Angel Villalona and Scott Kazmir would be front page worthy in the baseball, and fantasy baseball world. Things have changed greatly in just a few years for all three, but each found themselves in the news recently. Let's take a look at what's happening with this trio of ball players.

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. ...

Always More To The Story
What if there is more to the Jose Reyes and NY Mets negotiations than we all are assuming?
I’m guilty of one thing, I like to think outside the box and sure I may be totally wrong here but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
To set up my point, I think back to July 30, 2004. A day most Mets fans remember as the day they gave away Scott Kazmir.
The Kazmir deal is pretty interesting...

Should the New York Mets Look Into Scott Kazmir?
I am fully aware that I’m standing alone with this proposition. We have all had that guy/girl situation in high school or college that we would love to do over again. Admittedly, this is my baseball version of that “situation”. The New York Mets’ trade of Scott Kazmir was probably my first taste of prospect heartbreak. I had always been well aware...

It’s not Gre-aaaaaaaaaaat? Tony Reagins resignes as Angels GM.
“Angels vow to be creative in off-season”. That was the headline above an article about the Angels on Thursday. Actually that was a statement from General Manager Tony Reagins.
I guess his idea of creativity was resigning his GM position on Friday. Reagins, who took over for “No Trigger Finger” Bill Stoneman after the 2007 season, will now be a special assistant...
