Well, ironically, maybe he would have a chance with the Kansas City Royals.Zack Greinke didn’t really impress me last night. He pitched well and maybe I caught him on a bad night, but to me he didn’t seem dominant. Greinke has may have the lowest ERA in the AL since Pedro Martinez...

Chad Billingsley's start certainly didn't end the way anybody wanted, but unlike some who want to use this performance as further evidence that he's unreliable, I find it extremely hard to take away anything negative from this showing.The Nationals are a solid offensive...

Chad Billingsley looks to prove his doubters wrong and get back on track.Since the All-Star Game, in which he allowed one run in one inning, Billingsley has posted a 3-6 record and 5.49 ERA. While his overall numbers on the season still look fine on paper -- 12-10, 4.05 ERA in 31 games...

This article by Matt Swartz proves it.First, there's Matt Kemp. Despite Kemp’s power tendencies and relatively high strikeout rate, Kemp is also a BABIP Superstar, but he's unlike other players similar to him in those regards because of his speed; a reflection of that is...
