Free Agent at the End of the Season: Bobby Abreu

Jorge Says No

Perhaps no player in baseball has boosted their free agent candidacy like Bobby Abreu. When Abreu was a free agent last season, most teams viewed him as an afterthought. Sure Abreu could hit, but for some reason, there was absolutely no market for Abreu. The strange part is that Abreu...

In Jayson Stark's recent column, he examines the mess that is the New York Mets. Stark declares:"So the logical solution is: Trade one or two of those stars. Re-stir the mix. And help heal the scars left by three straight seasons that turned out all wrong.OK, that sounds logical...

Well, one of the least hitter friendly parks in the majors isn't going to get anymore hitter friendly anytime soon. Not in 2010 at least.Sluggers hoping that the dimensions at cavernous Citi Field will be more home-run friendly in 2010 reportedly are going to be disappointed.The...

No real signs of jealousy here...right?"With the new stadium, we kind of figured they're going to make an effort to lock a few guys up," Uggla said. "They're starting with Hanley, and everybody's happy for Hanley. He's set for the rest of his life. Who...

Does Hanley Ramirez not care because he's got a $70 million dollar contract? Crazy as it sounds, Dan Uggla thinks/thought so:Uggla accused Ramirez of a lack of desire and effort to win. He also said Ramirez wasn't caring because he's already secured a $70 million, six-year...

Jon Garland Trade: Impact on Free Agency?

Jorge Says No
| Comments

As most of us know by now, Jon Garland was dealt from the lowly Diamondbacks to the NL West leading Dodgers two days ago. What I'm most interested in is not how this trade impacts the Dodgers, but instead, how this deal possibly impacts Garland's value on the open market. Let...

Free Agent at the End of the Season: Hank Blalock

If I could sum up Hank Blalock's career so far in a word, there's no doubt that I'd choose disappointing. It's disappointing to see a player of Blalock's ability fail to live up to his potential (in large part because of injuries). You have to remember just how...

Well another week has passed by, which means that the race for Bryce Harper is heatin' up! What team will lose enough games in 2009, and in turn, receive the privilege to draft one of the most hyped up young talents in the past decade? Let's take a look at the "other important...
Free Agent at the End of the Season: Adrian Beltre

When the Mariners signed Adrian Beltre after the 2004 season to a 5 year/$65 million dollar contract, expectations were sky high. Beltre's 2004 campaign was his best to date as he mashed 48 home runs, hit .334, scored 104 runs, and drove in 121 runs. After so many mediocre seasons...

If the Twins Miss the Playoffs....Should Bill Smith be Fired?
August 31, 2009 by
Jorge Says No
| Comments

The 2009 Twins have been disappointing (so far). They are a team with three of the best players at their respective positions (Mauer, Morneau, Nathan), but they simply cannot seem to surround these guys with the proper supporting cast. What a shame. Should GM Bill Smith get the ax...
Pat Burrell and the Scott Kazmir Trade

Jorge Says No
| Comments

The general theme that has lingered from the Scott Kazmir trade is that the Rays simply could not afford to keep him beyond this season because of financial constraints. When we say "financial restraints", there have been two schools of thought: 1. If the Rays want to keep...

Marco Scuataro has always been thought of as a nice player. Before this year, Scutaro was thought of as nothing more than a backup middle infielder, who could play some solid defense, hit for some power, and come up with the occasional clutch hit.But this season, Scutaro was given...
