CNNSI.com is reporting that the White Sox are close to a deal with none other than Omar Vizquel. Once considered the best defensive shortstop in baseball, and half of the best double-play combination in baseball at the time while he was with Cleveland with second baseman Roberto Alomar, the ...

Recently, there has been a lot of talk of 'kicking the tires' on Roy Halladay. Roy Halladay, for one, is tired of it. "The other day I was filling up my tank at the gas station, and some punk kid comes up to my car, kicks the Pirellis, then runs off yelling, 'I kicked the tires on you ...

Scott Boras has made it clear that he intends to land Johnny Damon a multi-year deal for more than what he made in his last contract. Boras points to Johnny Damon's DNA as reason for why he will hold up and be productive over a multi-year contract. Today, as the free agent market has opened up, ...

Without a doubt, a lot of the attention this off season is going to revolve around Roy Halladay. He's available, he's an elite pitcher, and many teams will be interested in him. The Yankees have a pretty good farm system, with many appealing players they can trade for him, but this may not be ...

After Scioscia's mad rant yesterday, I started thinking about what a $350 million would get you in this free agent market. As I thought it through, I realized that if you were going to build a team this year on free agents, and had all the money in the world to do so, you would get one crappy ...

The LoHud Blog (formerly the Pete Abe Blog) is reporting that Mike Scioscia was quoted as saying "I don’t care if the Yankees go out and spend $350 million next year, we’re going to beat them because we have the team." We here at RJG thought that was curious, since the Angels weren't able to ...

The American League Rookie of the Year Award has been announced, and the winner was some guy not named Francisco Cervelli. "I don't know what more I could do," explained Cervelli. "I caught some games in May for the World Champions. I sat on a bench for 3 months of play-off baseball. What more ...

Joba was a frustrating player to see this year. It seemed like at times he refused to throw strikes, and couldn't give us a quality start to save his season. This came after what was a pretty good year as both a starter and releiver in 2008. He went from a 2.60 ERA with 12 starts and a number of ...

Obviously, Curtis Granderson is a big name out there in imaginary trade land. Many Yankee fans feel that we need to seriously upgrade our outfield. I call this the 'Eli Manning Phenomenon.' This is where fans inexplicably decide their team can't possibly succeed with a player or group of players ...

Joel Sherman of the Post has been writing about the availability of Curtis Granderson and his being a perfect fit for the Yankees. I can't speak to Granderson as a player since I can't honestly say I pay too much attention to anyone on the Tigers, but I do like his work as an analyst for ESPN ...
