Bisons Bats Carve Up Charlotte In High Scoring Affair
Luis Jimenez added three more RBI’s Sunday to increase his total to 42 on the year.

Parra was 2-3 with 5.06 ERA last year for the Milwaukee Brewers. Since Aroldis...

But baseball is a huge universe, - we can't possibly write outlooks for every interesting player, especially for the magazine, where space is finite. But there are...

If you plan on purchasing a soft cover version of the book rather than the PDF version, please pre-order if before the weekend is over. Soft cover version orders have been few and far between thus far and the pre-orders are what I have used in the past to determine the amount...

Episode 229
FanGraphs managing editor Dave Cameron, as per usual, makes his weekly appearance on FanGraphs Audio and analyzes all baseball.

• Starlin Castro‘s contract extension, why the Cubs did that.
• The 19-inning Pittsburgh-St. Louis game and the...
Todd Redmond’s Invisi-Ball – Partially Explained!
“We always give him (grief) because he’s got the invisi-ball,” said Kris Medlen, who played with Redmond in Gwinnett this year and Double-A Mississippi in 2008. “He always goes seven or eight innings, but he throws these belt-high to belly button-high 90 mph (fastballs). If I threw them they’d get crushed but it doesn’t. Some things you can’t explain.”
