Ranking the Best Bullpens Heading Into 2016

Posted on January 9, 2016 at 09:27 PM.

Over the past few years, the importance of a quality bullpen has grown, and grown noticeably. late inning relief played a big part in Kansas City's World Series run in 2014, and World Series win in 2015. Even the 2014 Giants had a helpful hand from their bullpen, which included contributions from Jean Machi, Jeremy Affeldt, Yusmeiro Petit, and the "uber-closer" Madison Bumgarner. 2016 looks to be no different, as teams have used the copy-cat strategy in attempt to build the next potent bullpen to ...

Reactions to The Samardzija/Hammel Trade

Posted on July 6, 2014 at 02:20 AM.

(0)

Well for the second straight year the Chicago Cubs trade a star pitcher, and get back a great return. However, this return looks a lot better. Let's take a look at the overview of the deal before I go in depth.

Oakland Athletics get: Jeff Samardzija, Jason Hammel

Chicago Cubs get: Addison Russell, Billy McKinney, Dan Straily, PTBNL or cash

So obviously Chicago made this move because they are well out of contention, and need to build on to their already ... Read More

I see alot of Mock Drafts out there, most of which I don't entirely agree with. So I decided to share my opinion, and here it is! Just a fast one, so no explaination. But will get a better one out before the draft.

1. Houston Texans: Blake Bortles, QB, UCF
2. St. Louis Rams (Fr. Redskins): Jadeveon Clowney, DE, USC
3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville
4. Cleveland Browns: Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson

Why Xander Bogaerts Could be the Next Face of the MLB

Posted on February 20, 2014 at 03:56 PM.

(0)

Xander Bogaerts, known by many because of his heroics in the 2013 MLB Postseason. But before that, Xander was known by prospect gurus, such as me, as the kid with the big bright future. Xander has been the Red Sox' top prospect for 3 years now, and this year, his stock couldn't be better. He is a consensus Top 10 prospect, going to #2 in all of baseball on many lists. Xander has become a staple of the Sox' farm system, and is widely said to be a perennial All-Star.

Now to the ... Read More

Reactions to the Peavy Trade

Posted on August 1, 2013 at 09:37 AM.

(5)

I thought this would need it's own blog post. The Red Sox Acquired Jake Peavy In a Three Team Trade. Involved in that trade was the Tigers, White Sox, and of course, the Red Sox. I will go thru each team, with my reaction to each team's acquisitions.

Boston Red Sox: The Red Sox got the top pitcher on the thin market. Jake Peavy, 32, was acquired from the ChiSox along with struggling reliever Bryan Villareal. Peavy is 8-4, with a 4.28 ERA with 76 Ks. Mediocre stats for the former Cy ... Read More

Oklahoma Tornadoes

My heart goes out to all of the people affected in this tragedy. I have alot of family members who live in the mid-west, including Joplin, where the tornadoes hit in '11. Luckily, none of my family was affected, but this isn't the end of the storm. More tornadoes possible as the storm moves on. Also, to the less talked about cities and towns in Kansas that were affected. Oklahoma City has gone thru alot in the past 2 decades, but this could be the worst. fatality counts are still rising, which I ... Read More

Can't wait for MLB 13

I'm so impatient for the game to come out. After learning about the new Potential system and Top 50 Prospects, this has made me sooooooooo anxious to put the game in my PS3! I want to pre-order it, but aren't sure whether to or not. I've never pre-ordered before. But if anybody feels this way (which I know there's alot of you)just comment. Peace!

Blue Jays Shouldn't have acquired R.A. Dickey

I know he's a reigning Cy Young award winner but C'mon, he's 38 y/o and is a knuckleballer. Knucleballers are veeeery durable but they are also veeeery inconsistent as well. They gave up a top catching prospect and a very good SP prospect in Noah Syndergaard. I'm glad we didn't get rid of Bogaerts and Bradley to get him. TDA will now grow up as a Met which I know will be tough for my good friend ACMilan99...
