Court Report: The Knicks finally get a win
No, we're not going to see the Knicks win like this on most nights. Carmelo Anthony and Iman Shumpert combined for 1-of-16 shooting, six assists, and four turnovers, while Landry Fields, Amar'e Stoudemire, and Tyson Chandler combined for 22-of-34 shooting, nine assists, and no turnovers. The Knicks pounded the hapless Bobcats to the point that Mike D'Antoni saw fit to...

Pressing Questions: The Los Angeles Dodgers
A season ago, the Dodgers were a franchise in financial upheaval. The messy McCourt divorce tarnished the image of the iconic brand. MLB seized control. Bankruptcy was filed. Fan cries escalated. Despite having arguably the game's best all-around hitter and most-dominating starting pitcher, distractions off the field negatively impacted production on it. The Dodgers, hanging around...

Tigers sign Prince Fielder, petition for second utility slot
As you probably have heard by now, Prince Fielder and the Tigers reached an agreement in principle Tuesday. As first reported by Yahoo's Tim Brown, it's a nine-year, $214 million deal.
Lots of things to discuss about this deal, both in the real-life baseball world and in our numbers racket. Load up the bullets:
• Fielder can mash, no one will dispute that. The Tigers could regret...

Court Report: Luol Deng out for “a while”
Luol Deng has been shut down with a torn ligament in his left wrist. He's being called week-to-week and Tom Thibodeau acknowledged that "he's going to be out for a while." The plan as of now is to avoid surgery and return to play through the pain, likely after a couple of weeks. Deng opted for surgery after suffering the same injury to his right wrist at the end of the 2004...

Pressing Questions: The Cleveland Indians
When the Cleveland Indians acquired Ubaldo Jimenez at the deadline last season, they trailed Detroit by just a game and a half in the American League Central. It was an aggressive move, no doubt, as the Tribe sent four prospects to the Rockies, including highly regarded pitchers Drew Pomeranz and Alex White. But the team was within range of the Tigers, so they played to win the flag...

Pressing Questions: The San Diego Padres
San Diego, 14 years removed from its last World Series appearance, has provided little fantasy utility in recent seasons. That is, for the offensive minded. The club's absence of power and spacious ballpark have turned it into a town devoid of runs. Slow base-trots by memorable mashers Dave Winfield, Phil Nevin, Greg Vaughn, Ken Caminiti and, most recently, Adrian Gonzalez are long...

Scout’s take: What can we expect from Yu Darvish?
So the Texas Rangers have decided that the next six years of Yu Darvish's pitching career are worth something like $111.7 million, a remarkable number for a player with no major league experience. The Rangers submitted a record $51.7 posting bid, then inked Darvish to a six-year deal worth $60 million ($56 million guaranteed). You'll find a year-by-year contract breakdown right here...

Pressing Questions: The Minnesota Twins
John Sorbi, an old buddy of mine, visited a number of baseball stadiums during a cross-country jaunt in the summer of 1995. He was still jaded by the strike in those days, but he didn't let that get in the way of exploring baseball history. When Jonas walked into Tiger Stadium on a summer day in '95, he carried a simple sign to get his point across:
Just Here for the Park...

Court Report: Devin Harris on Utah’s trade block and fantasy waivers
Devin Harris missed all seven of his shots during Thursday's three-point loss to the Mavs and was platooned with Earl Watson (24 minutes, 5 points, 2-4 FG, 7 assists, 1 turnover). The Jazz have won seven of their past nine games with Harris averaging just 5.8 points on 29-percent shooting in 26 minutes during that stretch. Harris is completely out of his comfort zone with simple...

Freak Show Friday: Kick off the weekend starting at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT
Trashed. That's what many postseason fantasy rosters look like after the Saints and Packers exited stage left last week. For the five people still trying to put a cherry on top of the fantasy football sundae, Brad Evans and newly inducted Hall of Famer, Brandon Funston, will reveal their picks to click for this week's championship games.

Pressing Questions: The Chicago White Sox
It's going to be culture shock for the White Sox beat writers this spring, as the team downshifts from Ozzie Guillen's spice rack to Robin Ventura's vanilla personality. Ventura's dialect will be a lot easier to understand, but he's unlikely to fill up the notebooks the way Guillen did over the last eight seasons. Ozzie probably came out of the womb with sound...

Court Report: Channing Frye, please report to the bench
Alvin Gentry adjusted his starting five on Wednesday - replacing Channing Frye and Jared Dudley with Markieff Morris and Ronnie Price - in what he described as an effort to get more scoring out of his team's second unit. Morris only last six minutes because of stomach flu but his two-way play to this point of the season means this move clearly can stick. While this should largely...

Court Report: Tread lightly, Derrick Rose
Derrick Rose's foot injury has now been officially classified as turf toe by the team. Rose described his level of pain as a six or seven on a one-to-10 scale, and he has to be considered questionable for the Bulls' weekend back-to-back (Fri @CLE, Sat CHA). Recovery from turf toe is usually considered in terms of weeks, depending on severity, and the condition can turn...

8-Pack: What’s your vector, Viktor Stalberg?
The cutoff line is at 25 percent for our shopping guide: we're looking for news you can use. To the swap meet.
Viktor Stalberg, LW, Blackhawks (21 percent): Nothing tricky to this one: Stalberg is playing on the top Chicago line (hello Toews, hello Kaner) and he's pumping the puck at to and into the net (five goals in four games, along with 18 shots). His ownership level...

Court Report: Amar’e Stoudemire loses his way
Amar'e Stoudemire's season continues to go from bad to worse. He was limited to just 22 minutes Monday because of foul trouble, during which he managed 10 points, two boards, and three steals. His per-game rank as of Tuesday morning was 94th, thanks in large part to just 42-percent shooting, 0.4 blocks, and over twice as many turnovers (28) as assists (13). A look at deep numbers...

Pressing Questions: The Chicago Cubs
Back in August, when the Cubs finally announced that Jim Hendry had been relieved of his duties as general manager, the ballclub had a $125 million payroll, yet was on its way to a 91-loss season. Chicago's farm system was bereft of talent. The everyday lineup featured four hitters who ranked near the bottom of the league in walk-rate — Starlin Castro, Darwin Barney, Marlon Byrd...

Pressing Questions: The Seattle Mariners
As a Mariners fan who just endured a 90-loss season for the third time in the past four years, calling this series "Depressing Questions" might be more apt. Especially since the answer to the biggest question of the offseason — Will Seattle get a Prince (Fielder) to go with their King (Felix)? -- is looking more and more like a, "No!" Without a proven big...

Pressing Questions: The New York Mets
Last season was an all too familiar outcome for the blue-bonneted stepchildren of the Big Apple. For the 10th time since 2000, the Miracles failed to reach the postseason. As a result, Jon Stewart, quite possibly the organization's loyalest fan, added another gray hair to his increasingly silver dome.
Unfortunately for Stew Beef, and the entire Mets fan-base, additional pain and...

Court Report: Andray Blatche’s shoulder has him shaking his head
Andray Blatche left the Wizards Thursday to see a specialist in New York regarding his ailing right shoulder. What is most troubling here is that Blatche first injured his shoulder on March 8 of last season. He missed 10 games before returning and closing out the season with a strong April (23.6 points, 51% FG, 10.3 boards, 2.1 steals, 1.3 blocks) and the assumption at the time was...
