Gonzalez, right-handed pitcher Fautino De Los Santos and outfielder Ryan Sweeney.
A Los Angeles newspaper reports that talks are
going well towards a Konerko for Kendrick and Santana
deal. Plus: links, news, analysis.
Branch Rickey wrote a scouting report on RHP
pitcher (and Hell of Famer) Don Drysdale in 1954.
Come inside and read it.
With the 2008 season opener upon us I
figured it would be as good a time as
ever to give my exciting 2008 division, playoff and award winner picks! Today marks the final division that we have to cover (see below to view one of the other divisions) so tomorrow we move on to the playoff and World Series picks and award winners on Saturday...
A new forum for the Baseball Digest Daily
staff to make their views known on a myriad
of baseball subjects.
Capuano might be out for a while with
tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his left
elbow. Document with details of the injury included.
The Scott Rolen for Troy Glaus trade is
pretty close in terms of value. In order to
be able to provide any real further insight into which teams wins here, I would have to be a doctor or have the ability to see in the future. I can't do that. But I can tell you what these guys were up to last season using pitch f/x data.
Today, the Detroit Tigers bloggers answer five questions
from Baseball Digest Daily. Next week, come back to

effects
Rangers take two from the Orioles, Red Sox
hammer Detroit's pitching, Edwin Jackson baffles the Mariners, Travis
Buck provides all the offense for Oakland, and the Mets finally win a series from the Phillies...
Over the last three days, I've been attending
the Blue Jays series against Oakland as working media
on behalf of Baseball Digest Daily. In order to avoid this becoming an all-Jays-all-the-time website as I post my overexcited babblings in tri-hourly blog posts, I've held off until the series was done to give my impressions. So hold on, here we go...
Batting average is a vestigial statistic that hasn't

Ricciardi conference call after Barajas signing, in-depth look
at Akinori Iwamura, OF Brian Anderson wants to play
in 2008, noose found at D.C. Stadium construction site and John Donovan looks at ten teams looking to fill key roster spots.
We remember all the fun and games surrounding
the physical evidence at the O.J. trial. Even if
they find Clemens DNA (which Clemens acknowledges would exist), there would be the problem of proving that it had never been tampered with. Hopefully they won’t try to see if a syringe fit in a pin hole in Clemens butt--if it doesn’t fit you must acquit?
Tigers get their first win, Spilborghs and Torrealba
combine for 9 RBI in Colorado, Mike Jacobs goes
deep twice, the A's score 4 in the 9th to stun the Blue Jays, and the Giants walk-off with another win over the Padres...
BDD broke the news about the press conference
last night and today the AP provides the details...
Well, that was quick. After all the excitement
over Joba Chamberlain, he lasted 2 1/3 innings against
the Blue Jays, walking out four and striking out three...
Six players have drawn 20 or fewer walks
in a season and posted an OPS+ of 100
or better (min. 600 PA) since 1961. Could Jose Guillen be the seventh?
