Jim Thome Trade: Impact on Free Agency?
September 02, 2009 by
Jorge Says No

| Comments
As most of us know by now, Jim Thome was dealt from the painfully mediocre White Sox 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...

Free Agent at the End of the Season: Hank Blalock
September 01, 2009 by
Jorge Says No
| Comments
| Comments
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
| 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
August 31, 2009 by
Jorge Says No
| Comments
| 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...
Free Agent at the End of the Season: Marco Scutaro
August 29, 2009 by
Jorge Says No
| Comments
| Comments
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...

Would the Athletics Ever Fire Billy Beane?

In case you haven't noticed, the Oakland Athletics are on pace to have their third consecutive sub .500 season. Since they were eliminated from the ALCS in 2006, the Athletics have been unable to capture their previous glory, despite the supposed genius of GM Billy Beane.For years...

Despite missing a good chunk of the season with shoulder issues, Coco Crisp would like the Royals to pick up his $8 million dollar option for next season: There's no guarantee that Crisp will return for a second season with the Royals. The club holds an $8 million option for 2010...
Hypothetically Speaking: Who would be the Highest Paid Player?

Scenario time: let's assume for a second that after the 2009 season, for whatever reason, every player currently on a major league roster would be granted free agency with no strings attached (no options, arbitration, service time, etc.). No matter what their contract status was...
Free Agent at the End of the Season: Miguel Tejada
August 25, 2009 by
Jorge Says No
| Comments
| Comments
Make no mistake about it: even though Miguel Tejada is a name player, he is far from the MVP caliber player he was seven or eight years ago. Tejada is no longer a potent power threat, who will drive in 120+ runs and carry an offense. Those days are long gone.But make no mistake about...
