Are we looking at the same numbers? I see a guy who had mediocre numbers early in his career as a starter whose K/9 ratio bumped significantly at...
This seems extremely anecdotal. I've had several people share similar experiences with me who have sworn off the flu shot and most of the time it...
Too many variables to answer the question from that perspective. The better question is how much per year would you plan to live on in...
Most personal finance blogs say having an emergency fund worth 3-6 months of expenses is the number 1 priority over anything else if you have...
If you're definitely planning to spend the money 5 years down the line: a) Don't count on any significant returns in that time. The stock market...
That competition for the 5th spot looks significantly less impressive without Velasquez and Appel. Hopefully Feliz and Martes make big jumps fast.
I'm getting snipered here.
The Astros took some pitcher named Octavio Acosta from the Mets in the AAA phase of the rule 5 draft. They passed on their second pick....

Feldman definitely can't be sent to the minors without his permission as a veteran with 9 years of service time. Straily I'm not certain about...

I like Luhnow but he gets a lot more credit for being a successful draft GM than I think he's proven. Any GM with three straight #1 picks and...
While both were in STL. Jocketty's a traditional baseball guy and Luhnow is a highly progressive sabermetric guy. They clashed a lot about the...
I'm optimistic about his offensive upside, but he may end up being what I think Preston Tucker is, a potential average to above average bat whose...
Wilson Karaman of Baseball Prospectus put up a nice blurb on Tyler White yesterday: Sounds like a lesser Colin Moran type player. Potential 6...
I'd be okay starting a package with Velasquez and a #11-20 prospect. Or even Velasquez and P-Tuck. But if the Phillies think they're getting two...
