Transaction Oracle: Pirates - Acquired Milledge

Pittsburgh Pirates - Acquired OF Lastings Milledge and P Joel Hanrahan from the Washington Nationals for OF Nyjer Morgan and P Sean Burnett

Let's get the Nats side of the trade out of the way first. Morgan's not a good offensive player and a 350/350 season is pretty much what he…

Primate Studies: Home Runs and Ballparks

Major League outfield distances vary from 302 feet to 435 feet and outfield fence heights vary from 4 feet to 37 feet. Given these variations,…

Transaction Oracle: Mets Turn Over Entire Roster in Single Day

OK, maybe they didn't quite do that, but a lot of well-known names coming and going today. Let's tackle them one-by-one.

Beltran to the DL. Obviously a big blow to the team, but it's supposedly just a bruise and shouldn't keep him out too long. On the plus side, if the…

Sox Therapy: Red Sox Odds and Ends

A few things going on, most notably, the Dice-K situation.

--Dice K had an MRI which didn’t show any structural damage. But, turns out he has “weakness,” so it’s off to the DL! Taking his place until Smoltz is activated--Dusty Brown? The need for a non-hitting 3rd catcher is puzzling. You…

Notes in a Minor Key: Draft signings

Post ‘em here when you see them.

My time here will be limited for the next couple of weeks. I am supposed to be on vacation next week; however, my Dad had a heart attack on Tuesday night and had surgery yesterday, and while he is doing as well as one…

Notes in a Minor Key: Draft Chatter

Open thread for MLB Draft chatter.

I can honestly say that after the #1 pick, I have no idea how it will go. The Mariners SHOULD - and probably will - draft Ackley, but there are enough rumors about a pitcher floating around that I don’t really know what to think.…

Dialed In: The Importance of Being Baseball

Nothing says “Baseball” like cucumber sandwiches and bottles of champagne.  I love baseball, and it is definitely a central feature in my life.  I can recall tucking my little girl in at night and whispering, “I love you more than anything”, to have her whisper back, “More than the Mets?” Ah,…

Gonfalon Cubs: Week 9 thoughts

3-2 on the road, with 4 of the 5 going to extra innings and a split of those 4.  I’d say that’s a good week, but not great.  All 5 games were 1 run affairs, which means they were winnable (and on the flip side, also loseable).  For the most part,…
