Sean Casey reminisces about brawls, pizza, and quadzilla legs in Royals-Red Sox game

Mlb_apr_29_c470

Could this be the best closer available for 2009...

While you watch the Dodgers and Phillies today one player you won't see coming out of the Dodgers bullpen is Takashi Saito. The dominant closer has been left off the playoff roster, but not because he's injured but rather ran out of time to rehab and never got his breaking...

Still want to trade Brad Penny? Although Penny did not get the win last night he went six scoreless innings only walking one batter and struck out five. Boston rallied in the eighth inning, how fitting, to beat the New York Yankees 4-3 to start the season 8-0 against their arch...

Four Non-Tender Signings That Make Sense (at least in my head)

Instead of offering players arbitration, teams have the option to "non-tender" their arbitration eligible players, which would make them free agents. More free agents, yay! Given the rough economic climate we are in, it is no surprise to see teams refuse to offer contracts...

Wigginton and others are non-tendered, become free agents

The Mets have more free agents to look at today as many players were non-tendered. The surprising ones are Ty Wigginton and Willy Taveras. I hope the Mets bring back Wiggy for utility. This is a type of guy we need on the Mets, he is gritty and a hard nosed player! Here are rest of...
