Admittedly, this wasn't the most important possible addition to the roster for next year -- however, the Cubs had a very poor bench in 2009 and I still think Chad Tracy (at the right price) would be a good addition. Today, I'm going to analyze two play...

Keith Law ranked the Dbacks as having the best draft in 2009, and other reviews of the Diamondbacks' draft have been positive as well. With so many quality players signed, this draft certainly has the potential to be the most productive draft the Diamondbacks have had in their short hist...

In my opinion, whats transpiring now was predictable, I said without a trade, the team would begin to fall behind and then a losing mentality would set in, taking the team into a tailspin. By the time the trade deadline came around or players returned from injury, the deficit would be too big to over come.
