Mescaline Mike, to me at the bar. “If you want a real sleeper for your fantasy team this year…think Vance Worley.” #mind-fogging

Vance Worley just got clobbered again, this time by the Braves. There’s no set and certain point at which a start turns into an official clobbering, but looking through Worley’s 2013 game log, I’d say this was the fifth or sixth time he’s been clobbered, in ten games. That’s an ugly ratio, and to make matters worse, recall that Worley was Minnesota’s ...

Well, it's good to know that Neyer can still do long pieces.

Orlando Cabrera to the Giants

How many veteran, right-handed-hitting infielders is the team going to go through this year?

Tejada, Sanchez, DeRosa, Hall, Keppinger, Cabrera.

Why aren't the Dodgers trading anyone?
A) They suck
B) They have no money
C) Their team is a grab-bag of random parts
D) They have several players that contenders should be interested in

The Dodgers did trade Furcal to the Cardinals.

a bad-deadline-deal article with nary a mention of Bagwell?

All this trading is great for baseball. It gets the NFL off the headlines for a few days (except for ESPN, which is absolutely married to football) and creates interest for both contenders getting veteran pieces and younger teams acquiring prospects to help with rebuilding. Frank "Trader" Lane and Syd Thrift would be proud.

I'm sure they'll cover the Rich Harden deal from several angles.

Why on earth are the Twins contemplating dealing Denard Span and for a reliever of all things?

The last Washington reliever they overpaid for in trade worked out so well that they decided to double down.

Orlando Cabrera to the Giants

He already had a shot, but this enhances OC's chances of tying Kenny Lofton's mark for playing in the postseason for six different teams (and it likely will be his fifth straight year in the playoffs with five different teams. Suck it Hinske).

I'm pretty sure they think Ben Revere is pretty much the same thing as Denard Span. Which he's not.

"When the Oakland Athletics traded Mark McGwire to the Cardinals for three young players in 1988, they did not get much in return. "

damn those players named 10 years later...
