Newsblog: BTF Flashback: David Brazeal’s “The Peña”Once upon a spring so dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, How distinctly I remembers how it’s been in past Decembers, Transaction Oracle: 2012 ZiPS Projections - Cincinnati RedsThe Reds had a reasonable argument at being competitive in the NL Central last season (ZiPS had them tied with Brewers, just ahead of Cardinals), but the starting pitching pretty much abandoned the team, with the exception of Johnny Cueto. The addition of Mat Latos obviously improves the rotation, but the team has a bit less depth now and there are less emergency options in the rotation with Travis Wood in Chicago (ZiPS still believes in him enough to give him a ERA+ of 100 there) and Matt ...Read More...Transaction Oracle: Marlins - Acquired ZambranoFlorida Marlins - Acquired P Carlos Zambrano and $15 million from the Chicago Cubs for P Chris Volstad This is a deal that I understand from the Cubs point of view even if it is one I don’t think I would have made. The Cubs don’t figure to be very good (to put it mildly) in 2012 and the odds are against Zambrano making a substantial on-field contribution. He’d also likely become the focus of the fans discontent (assuming he was to pitch and be an expensive mediocrity) and there’s every reason ... Read More...Transaction Oracle: 2012 ZiPS Projections - Milwaukee BrewersThe Brewers projections go up and just about the perfect time: after Betancourt is gone, after Ramirez is signed, but before Fielder signs elsewhere. Fielder's a great player, but the Brewers really do have a solid team that can survive even the loss of their best hitter, especially given that the Cardinals are doing the same thing with the loss of their franchise player.I'm not too thrilled with the way the whole Aramis Ramirez thing worked out. Aramis is probably a better player than ... Read More...Hall of Merit: 2012 BBTF Hall of Fame BallotIMPORTANT: Please read: This election should follow BBWAA rules, not Hall of Merit rules. However, we hope to see only players that each voter feels belong on their ballots - if you don’t feel he really is a HOFer, then please refrain from posting that player’s name (examples of whom I am referring to are Mookie Wilson, Scott Broscius, Buddy Biancalana - players who were well liked or were underdogs, but have no creditable HOF resume). Leaving 1st-year candidates off your ballot is also ... Read More...John (You Can Call Me Grandma) Murphy

Related News: SABR - BBTF Chapter: SABR42: Call For PresentationsPosted on behalf of Scott Fischthal and Neal Traven.

Abstracts covering all aspects of ...

For crabs, take Eastern Boulevard to Mr. Bill's Terrace Inn or head to L.P. Steamers near Fort McHenry. If crabs aren't your thing, I'm very partial to Della Norte in Little Italy or, if you want to try Baltimore's non- barbecue barbecue, pit beef, Chaps Pit Beef or Pioneer Pit Beef.Next Up: Milwaukee Brewers Read More...Primate Studies: Greg Spira, RIPGreg Spira, fellow Primate and long-time friend to many of us, passed away today. Will pass along details as I get them. Hall of Merit: 2012 Results: Palmeiro… Reuschel… Cone… for the Hall of Merit!Slugging first baseman Rafael Palmeiro, in his second year of eligibility, was the top vote-getter this election by grabbing 70% of all possible points. NL hurler Rick Reuschel was number two this year with 49% after 17 years on a ballot, while Met and Yankee pitcher David Cone became the last inductee of 2012 with 44% in his sixth year of eligibility. Rounding out the top-ten were: Phil Rizzuto, Luis Tiant, Cannonball Dick Redding, Hugh Duffy, Gavvy Cravath (back in the top-ten!), Vic Willis ... Read More...John (You Can Call Me Grandma) Murphy

Related News: Transaction Oracle: 2012 ZiPS Projections - Colorado RockiesI complain every year about the bipolar nature of Colorado’s plans, a yearly awkward mix of rebuilding and pushing for the division, but that’s almost a broken record at this point. Though I guess trading Ubaldo Jimenez for good prospects but then signing an average-hitting, below-average defensive Cuddyer for his declining years for $10 million a year just adds to the hilarity.
Colorado’s pitching staff is underrated, as usual. The Coors park factors had been down for awhile, probably ... Read More...Page 5 of 10 pages ‹ First < 3 4 5 6 7 > Last › | Features Archive | Site Archive
