Here's that interview I talked about a few
weeks ago, I'd like to thank Paul for taking
time out of his busy holiday and team schedule to answer some questions and note to owners; hire this guy as your next general manager, you won't regret it. ...

Spectacular catch by Manny Ramirez in the Orioles/Red
Sox game today. Manny catches the ball, high-fives a
fan as he's against the outfield wall, then throws back to first base to double-up a Audrey Huff for the 3rd out of the inning. Give this man a Gold Glove!

The Reds have announced that they are calling
up Jay Bruce. Bruce is currently hitting .364/.393/.630 through
49 games in triple-A with ten homers, nine doubles, five triples, and eight steals. Sure, his K/BB ratio is a miserable 45/12 but even ...

Through four starts, the reigning AL Cy Young
winner sports a 13.50 ERA. He has walked 14
and struck out 14 in 18 innings. Last season, in 241 regular season innings, Sabathia walked only 37. The season before, he walked 44 (in 192 innings). So ...

I personally believe that one can never underestimate
the power and the value of a strong bullpen.
While you often hear the saying "starting pitching always wins," the importance of an effective bullpen is something that cannot be taken for granted. ...

Johan Santana's 2.96 ERA obscures the fact that
he is not as good of a pitcher as
he used to be. Is anything wrong with Johan Santana? Some writers were asking the same thing last year at this time, only to see Johan rebound with another ...

With Spring Training games beginning this week, the
first stats of 2007 will start to roll in
soon. How much should weight should we give to these numbers, though? Major league pitchers will be facing raw AA level talent, and top-level hitters will...

Being a Rays fan I've become accustomed to
- of all things - looking forward to the
Rule 5 draft - even after the Josh Hamilton incident and disappointingly selling away our first pick last year. This year it appears the Rays will take Indians ...

A true minor league system is something that
separates baseball from most professional leagues, although other leagues
have tried, baseball's system remains the best and most logical around. The National Basketball Association has the National ...

Occasionally I get an email asking about a
certain player or situation that isn't huge news, for
that I'll attempt to devote a small post to some of the more interesting topics. Feel free to suggest topics by emailing me and we'll see how high these ...

Last season Brandon Webb won the National League
Cy Young Award after receiving not a single vote
for the award during any previous years of his major league existence. In the American League Chien-Ming Wang would finish second in American League Cy...

Even though the Brewers already have a
surplus of offensive talent with questionable defensive merits, they
could not pass up the opportunity to draft another player with a similar pedigree in the first round of last year’s draft. ...

Who you play is just as important
as how you play . Through the first half
of the season, the top three teams in the American League East have played very different schedules. The Tampa Bay Rays have been quite a surprise this ...

If you're like me, you've probably spent some
time staring at the ceiling thinking about number two
hitters (that statement seems to be innuendo proof). Oh sure, every stathead and, uh, whatever the epitaph is for their opposites, has debated the...

What about wins? We know that with pitchers,
wins are not an effective way to judge performance.
Too many factors outside of the pitcher's control - no matter how many home runs Carlos Zambrano hits - effect the outcome of games: offensive...

Opening Day has come and gone and while
neither my White Sox nor Cubs were able to
achieve victories, it was an exciting day for myself and for baseball fans around the country. Over the last few weeks, during spring training, teams have been ...

Welcome to a new BTB weekly feature. The
weekly awards are something that I dreamed up while
reading a Gregg Easterbrook column on ESPN's Page 2. Every week he calls out coaches, players, and anybody else who does something stupid and praises people ...
