New York Yankees Turn Back the Clock

The mid-2000′s. The days when the New York Yankees were trotting out the likes of Randy Johnson, Aaron Small, Kevin Brown, Jeff Weaver, Javier Vazquez (the first time), Mike Mussina...

Planning for the Future
Looking over today’s starting pitchers, I just want to say I’m looking forward to the day Zach Kroenke faces Zack Greinke. That would be almost as good as David Price against Doug Fister, or Shawn Chacon versus Gustavo Chacin.

Fernando Rodney is the New Closer of the Angels
Deep breath. We remember owning Bob Wickman. We remember Shawn Chacon's ERA being over 7. And we most recently recall owning a certain Mike MacDougal. Rodney is coming off of a season in which his ERA was 4.40 and his WHIP was 1.47.
