We can all think of a number of words to describe the Sixers start to the 2010 season.
Disappointing
Frustrating
Infuriating

The Sixers once again will face a team that is not at full strength. The Jazz will be without Deron Williams who was excused from tonight's game for personal reasons.
That's a good and bad thing in my mind.
The good is obvious. The Sixers clearly have a better chance of getting...

I’ve been harping for the last couple weeks about what an asset Chone Figgins (and his .393 OBP) would be at the top of our line-up. It also happens that he plays a tremendous 3rd base, a position we coincidently have open. I felt he was the perfect fit, but didn’t really...

If the Phillies are to make a splash in the free agent market, it certainly seems like it will come at 3B, after they declined a relatively cheap option ($5 million) on Pedro Feliz.
I think it was the right move, and with the market for 3B fairly robust, it gives us a chance to fill...

As the Phillies embark on the off-season, the first thing we have to look at is the status of the 25-man roster and then we can get around to talking about specific players.
