Lately, the overwhelming trend for young stars has
been to sign early in their careers, to take
the money and stay, so to speak. That's what makes Braves first baseman Mark Teixeira such a rare breed. Incidentally, rare breeds don't come cheap these ...
It’s definitely a possibility. Jon Heyman of cnnsi.com
speculates (pure speculation), that when New York Yankees catcher
Jorge Posada returns, 1B Jason Giambi would become a candidate for release. There would obviously be a few things that have to happen for this to take place thou.
In the Tex mix 1. Yankees. No shot
the Yankees bring back Giambi and his .150 batting

Jon Heyman names seven general managers who also may
be sweating if their teams don't improve.
This isn't like the old days, when some
baseball teams were run by the lazy, the unqualified
or the truly incompetent. Today there's only one team like that, two tops. Almost every baseball owner now understands the importance of the general manager ...
Word is Braves pitcher Mike Hampton is making
very little progress in his efforts to come back
from the "strained pec'' injury he suffered while warming up for what was to be his season debut on April 4. What a shame it is that so many words were ...
The Sheffield Shuffle Judging by his play, one
DH who appears to be closer to the end
