The terms appear to be $19 Million Guaranteed money ($9 M each year and a $1 Million buyout for 2012 if they do not pick up the option for then - and it kicks in if Abreu posts 550 PA in 2011 or a combined 1200 PA in 10-11. With team leader Torii Hunter in CF...

My guess is that he'll start at 2nd base for the Bees next year, while Mount gives AA another go. That puts him just one or two injuries away from time with the big league club. 19) Rolando Gomez, 20 - SS, Arizona R...

By the end of April, I was ready to throw in the towel on him. In several threads I wrote that the Angels should either trade him or bench him in favor of playing Brandon Wood.I wasn’t condemning him for missing the bunt in last year’s playoffs. While failing to make a critical play never makes for popularity, I wasn’t willing to condemn him for an ...

In our last column, we focused on the Hot Pitchers because they were dominating the stats. Apparently the hitters were a bit jealous and went on offensive tears. So, this week we’ll focus ...

We're sure that some hitters like Brandon Wood might be a little up in arms about it, but, this week the talent was overwhelmingly with the pitchers. We saw some pitchers make their debuts, others bouncing back, and some who were just pitching too well to ignore. Our belief is that from top to bottom we may be seeing the best overall collection of pitchers th...

This year, we've gone from a Top 20 list (2006) to a top 50, with scouting reports for the top 30. Rather than release the entire list at one time, I'm going to post the scouting reports from the bottom to the top in a 3 week series which will conclude with the top 10 list (10-1) the weekend before Christmas.
