Delwyn Young’s Dodger Town Sendoff

The Dodger’s finally ran out of room on the roster for Delwyn Young. In the minors as an infielder he crushed the ball, but his defense made him into an outfielder. His bat is intriquing, but as he turns 27 this years old, he is running out of chances. In the right situation, it would [...]
Phillies Batting Order
Posted in Braves, National League, Phillies on April 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
After the Phillies unveiled their new Utley-Howard-Ibanez batting order combination (all of which are left handed batters) against the Braves on opening day, it appears Charlie Manuel has already scrapped that plan after the group went the 0-11. They have inserted Werth after Howard breaking up all the left handed batters. It didn’t even take [...]

It is well known that Ryan Howard is one of the power hitting offensive forces of the past 4 years in the National league. The Phillies have 18 million reasons they like the lefty slugger coming into the 2009 season. But, one thing I touched on a few weeks ago about Ryan Howard: Every now and then you hear the [...]
Ryan Howard : The Six Million Dollar Man (Three Times a Year)
Posted in Phillies on February 8, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Did you hear that? Its the Liberty Bell ringing now that Ryan Howard is signed, sealed, and delivered to the Phillies. Its not bad money for Howard who has shown he can really mash when he is not striking out. When he gets in his groove, he is a feared hitter. Though, in the World [...]
Best Player in Baseball

Chase Utley of the Phillies is showing he is the real deal in 2008. Well, we have known that a while now. Utley’s 2007 campaign and possible MVP were derailed by a HBP that had him on the DL which reduced his overall counting statistics. If you are counting now, Utley’s sweet stroke has him [...]
The WildCard – Not George Bush League

We already knew that George W. Bush as owner of the Texas Rangers was questionable in his decision making. He was the one who traded away future Hall of Fame slugging outfielder Sammy Sosa to the White Sox. But, another George W. Bush baseball nugget is that he was the only owner to vote against [...]

A few weeks ago we were wondering about Mattingly’s wife and what happened ? The Daily News has a story and pictures about Mattingly’s life, and Donnie’s current unfortunate situation. My first memory of Mattingly was the summer of 1983, when both Don and Steve Balboni were getting a shot at the first base job [...]

With the 2008 baseball pre-season here, you are probably trying to figure out which player will be the offensive force to build your fantasy team around. The one baseball statistic that I have been following for a while now is the Quad which Rich Lederer pointed out several years ago when he compared some of [...]

Anderson has also appeared at Deadspin and just completed a book on the Tampa Rays called Lamar-itis. With the loss of 40 year [...]
