... World Series run. It is not the most recent visit to the series for San Diego, as the friars also went in '98, getting swept by arguably the greatest Yankee team ever. But '84 meant more. Just ask any Cubs fan, they'll tell ya. The Cubs have gone 100 years without a World Championship, most of those years forgettable, heck more than most, but they will never forget '84. What else? The natural, Gary Sheffield (ex-padre) should be hitting his 500th home run. He is currently stuck at 499. Ivan Rodriguez needs ...

Lastings Will Succeed as a Leadoff Hitter

... this year, rather than just being an athlete, and that structure should help--if Lastings is up to the challenge. My view on Milledge is that he is a prospect whose ceiling is starting to fall, and as a result he will settle into a very nice ballplayer, and ironically, a better team player for it. He is not the power hitting athlete with whiplash bat speed that folks projected, a la a young Gary Sheffield . He will not hit .300 and drive in 100 runs. The sooner he realizes the shortcomings of those gifts, the better he will harness the tremendous gifts he has. Baseball ...

I don’t consider this to be inappropriate speculation, instead, I think it’s only fair for us to wonder about who the other names are since they have yet to be released. If one guy’s name is released, release them all, right? Here are a few players that I think could be on the list. 1. Barry Bonds 2. Bret Boone 3. Jason Giambi 4. Aubrey Huff 5. Bill Mueller 6.

He put together some All Star worthy seasons and topped out in 2001 hitting .306 with 41 homers and 126 RBI. He eventually got traded away and played for the Rangers, Cubs and Twins his last two seasons. When he looks back on his career, he'll think "I'll always have San Diego."

The Trade-and-Sign Gambit: A Failing Strategy

What is these players have in common: Gary Sheffield, J.D. Drew, Tim Hudson, and Mark Teixeira? They were all acquired by the Braves via trade, with two or less years remaining until they became agents. Also, in each case the Braves gave up prospects who were currently or would eventually play in the major leagues. For two years of Sheffield, the Braves traded Brian Jordan, Odalis Perez, and Andrew Brown. For Drew (and Eli Marrero) , the Braves traded Jason Marquis, Ray King, and Adam Wainwright. ...

Eisenreich spent the four seasons with Philadelphia, starting as the right-fielder for their 1993 National League Championship ballclub. In 1997 he was standing at second base when Edgar Renteria hit a game-winning single to win a World Championship for the Florida Marlins. He was a valuable bench player for the Marlins before being dealt to the Dodgers in the Gary Sheffield/Mike Piazza blockbuster. In 1998, after a 1,422 game career, Eisenreich ...

Schilling had the misfortune of having his best seasons when Randy Johnson was having quite possibly the greatest run that any pitcher has had in history.

I'm not going to suggest Schilling deserves to be in their class but he deserves to be recognized as one of the greats. 65) Gary Sheffield* There are going to be a number of players on this list that some baseball fans ...

He's also a guy that should be fighting for a job every year, not given the security of a two-year deal. But he seems to have some sort of hypnotic Jedi mind trick powers over managers. Buddy Bell loved him. Trey Hillman has suggested Gload could be his #3 hitter in the lineup.
