It's not common but a quick googling shows at least one team (Mariners) carrying 4 catchers on the 40 man.
Perusing the Phillies SBnation site, their fans expectations for a Giles trade would basically be our entire farm system. Most are expecting a...
That's not half bad. I see one definite protect (Musgrove), two likely (Devenski and Paulino) and then a bunch of maybes (Aplin, Gustave,...
Fan support has got to be a consideration. It'd be ludicrous for any business to say "who cares what our paying customers think about our business...
I don't think they 100% know either. Teams around the league look at the Astros and Cubs quick re-builds and want to mimic them, but like the the...
Baseball America: Fisher Credits College For Ease Of Pro Ball Transition Good review article on Derek Fisher. He's an exciting power/speed guy...
Eifert has the yips. good for the texans, terrible for my fantasy team
If that number is accurate (which DRS isn't always) and everything else were equal, I'd say yes 10 runs saved is better. RBI's are largely a...
That seems intentionally obtuse and the logic can be easily flipped. Who else would the republicans vote for if he were the nominee? They...

I'm ambivalent. If he happens to be the first FA to accept the QO, no big deal. He played last season on a below market contract IMHO. If we got...
AJ Reed wasn't the BA minor league player of the year. He was runner up to Blake Snell.
The off-season will be a whole lot more interesting this year knowing higher level FA's may be in play for the Astros. The last few off-seasons...
There's a handful of guys at every level. Keep in mind there's a big difference in touching 95mph, sitting at 94-95mph in relief and consistently...
Milos, really enjoyed the thought experiment but your plan has so many common flawed armchair GM ideas. I think the team you constructed would...
Eh, I'm not hung up on adding more power. The 2015 team wasn't hard up for home-runs. I'd actually prefer to add an avg/obp guy over a power...
Wonder what the season would have looked like if we kept Folty and started building him up as a reliever instead of trading for Gattis. I think...
