Raburn is currently hitting .281/.345/.517 with an OPS+
of 121 and a wOBA of .366. Raburn has
14 homers, 11 doubles, 2 triples and 5 steals in 242 fill-in at-bats. His HR/FB rate is 15.9% and will be very hard to sustain but it is not impossible...

Jonathan Broxton is rarely mentioned in talks as
an elite reliever. It’s probably because he wasn’t a
full-time “closer” until this season and relievers rarely get mentioned unless they are racking up the overrated “save”. Well, Broxton is racking up those saves this season (he has 28) but there...

Tigers nab Huff and his better 2nd half
numbers, and Type-A free agent status in exchange for
a minor league reliever that will be 23 in November and has yet to pitch above high-A ball.

Halladay has also killed the Rays this year.
His numbers against the Rays are: 22 innings, 25/5
K/BB rate, and an ERA of 2.45 (although he did not register a single win). Oh, and his career numbers against the Yankees are 16-5 with a 2.90 ERA in 223.1 innings.

The Philadelphia Phillies are apparently ready to turn
away from Roy Halladay because they beleive the Toronto
Blue Jays are asking for too much in return. I’m not sure who the Phillies think they are but what they are offering for Halladay still looks a little short to me and not too much.

With all the attention on big name free
agents and speculating where they will end up most
of us missed this little transaction: Philadelphia Phillies acquired outfielder John Mayberry Jr from the Texas Rangers for outfielder Greg Golson. In my opinion This could turn out to be a minor steal for TEX

After a disappointing post-season where the Cubs lost
to what seemed an un-losable Los Angeles Dodgers team
in the NLDS, only to look like a completely different team versus the Phillies, it looks like the Cubs could be making some big moves this off-season, and can’t help but ask myself if...

The Florida Marlins traded reliever Kevin Gregg to
the Chicago Cubs for right handed prospect Jose Ceda.
This is the fourth players the Marlins have traded this offseason that is arbitration-eligible but they get a sure win in this trade with the Cubs.

What a game last night. Two young lefties
facing off in game 1 of the World Series.
The final score was 3-2 which was expected with these two lefties going against each other. Cole Hamels pitched like he has all postseason and got the win while Scott Kazmir took the loss but pitched better than that

The Milwaukee Brewers are faced tough decisions this
offseason. They have to figure how to replace C.C.
and Sheets in their rotation, they have to decide on Cameron’s option, they must decide if they are going to shop Prince and Hardy but the one I will focus on is Rickie Weeks because I think...

No more Dick Stockton! A few instances I
remember off my head: His first words “To say
there is a lot at stake would be an understudy.” “He want 0-4 last night with a base hit” “Bryan Dempster” “Alonzo Soriano” He called Mark DeRosa, Blake Dewitt on the field...

LAA Angels vs. Boston Red Sox Offense: The
Halos brought in Mark Texieria for this exact type
of showdown with the Red Sox. Realize, for all their 100 wins, the Angels didn’t have one guy knock in over 91 runs or score 90 runs. Texieria and CF Torii Hunter were brought in to protect Vlad Guerrero

season and said he will decide to retire or
come back a Yankee. I'm not so sure the later is a good idea.

This is a question I was asked today
and it really got me thinking. Who really will
win the MVP for both the National League and the American League? Then it got me thinking. Who do I think are the National League and American League MVPs? I think my answers will vary with the actual winners.

Last night Angels reliever Francisco Rodriguez made statistical
history by tying Bobby Thigpen’s save record at 57.
In the famous words of Adam Sandler: “Whoopity Doo!” The Angels entered the 9th inning of last night’s game up 7-3, a four run lead. Scot Shields comes in and puts two men on...

Jayson Werth has been a backup and platoon
player his entire career. At the tender age of
29 he is finally going to break the 350 at-bat mark in a season and as you have guessed his running stats of 22 homers, 59 runs, 59 RBI, 52 walks, 14 steals, and 96 hits are career highs. But the question isn’t

It is September. Time for penant races to
heat up and for rosters to expand. A lot
of teams will add a third catcher, a few bullpen arms, a starter or long reliever, and star prospects. We see a lot of rookies make their major league debuts in September and this year is no different. Here is a look

Probably the toughest position to rank and to
predict for the future is catcher. It is by
far the most physically demanding position on the diamond and most good hitting catchers have to move off the position by the time they reach thier 30’s due to the wear and tear. Other prospects outgrow the position (height not weight) and have to move off catcher (think Jayson Werth). Here is my list...

According to the Associated Press, allowing instant replay
in major league baseball will lead to lengthening a
game that is “already long enough”. I have to disagree. Here is what the AP is saying:

The Baltimore Orioles started the season with a
bang. They seemed to make the highlights every night
and people couldn’t leave them out of baseball conversation. They have since cooled off significantly but one player that has flown under the radar through it all is Aubrey Huff.
