With the upcoming release of the “Moneyball” movie, I have noticed quite a bit of noise on the radio talking about how moneyball doesn’t work.  They say “look at the A’s now”, or “they A’s didn’t win the World Series with moneyball so it doesn’t work”.  That is usually followed by a demand for the [...]

Ok, so I’m pretty sure there have been multiple Major League players named Jesus before, but none that come with the anticipation that Jesus Montero does.  And no way do I think he will have anywhere near the impact that the original Jesus had.  He might not be able to turn water into wine, heal the [...]

It is that time of year again where clubs decide whether or not they feel they can compete going forward his year.  I don’t always agree with GMs trading valuable players this year for prospects down the road.  It just doesn’t always make sense.  Take the Oakland A’s and the San Diego Padres for example.  [...]

It seems as though everyone is looking for saves off the wire this time of year.  With the trade deadline less than two weeks away, there could be some current closers moving to another team into a setup role  or a closer role.  Either way, that means that somebody will need to step in and [...]

The Los Angeles Angels have finally decided to call up number 1 ranked prospect, Mike Trout.  If you are in a keeper or dynasty league, go pick him up right now if you don’t already have him stashed on your roster.  This article can wait. If you don’t know who Mike Trout is, you probably [...]

With the impending move of José Bautista back to third base, the Blue Jays are most likely going to take their sweet time with Brett Lawrie on the minor league DL.  This is good news for Bautista owners in dynasty or keeper leagues since it means that he will keep 3B eligibility for next year.  [...]

Former Houston Astros closer Brandon Lyon has returned from DL.  Normally, this wouldn’t be a big deal since the Astros had replaced him with Mark Melancon, who has been on fire or should I say been putting out fires ever since Lyon hit the DL.  Usually when you have a stud closer hit the DL [...]
