Starting Pitching Targets
Written by Gage Matthews | December 08, 2011 | Comments Off | Kings of Kauffman (Royals)
It’s a well-known fact that the Royals are chasing trade opportunities for starting pitchers this offseason. Well, chasing may be a strong word. Let’s say ‘exploring’ instead. They’ve made it clear that they aren’t looking to dive into any free agent bidding wars, so trade rumors, speculation, ideas, hypotheses, and crackpot theories have been flying around in the interwebs as we all try to figure out what they’ll do next. Of course, this isn’t always simple. So, avoiding the however improbable chance that the Royals are playing us (once again) and do sign a free agent starter, who could they [...]
A’s Aim To Be Like The Marlins
Written by Joseph Lopez | December 08, 2011 | Comments Off | Swingin' A's (Athletics)
Is It Oakland's Turn Yet? The A's Really Need a New Stadium (Photo Credit: Ray Chavez/AP) Those Miami Marlins are making quite the splash so far this offseason. They’ve secured a brand-new venue and have locked up free agents Jose Reyes and Mark Buehrle. Things are looking good in Miami right about now. Things in Oakland, however, remain ever so dim. The Athletics, a team coming off yet another sub-par season, are stuck in the aging, crumbling, and confining O.co Coliseum. The team’s lack of a new venue is making it extremely difficult for Billy Beane & Co. to prepare [...]

Jeff Luhnow is the new Astros’ GM
Written by Alex Sandoval | December 08, 2011 | Comments Off | Climbing Tal's Hill (Astros)
Jeff Luhnow has been named the Astros’ GM tonight. Luhnow is the VP of Scouting & Player Development for the Cardinals. This comes as a small surprise as Bill Geivett was thought to be the favorite for the position. Andrew Friedman was the club’s choice to be the new GM but declined the opportunity to be considered. Luhnow joined the Cardinals in 2003 and is very much in the analytical mold that Jim Crane and George Postolos sought after during their search. … [visit site to read more]

Arizona Diamondbacks Now Willing to Bet the Farm

So, all during this off-season the Arizona Diamondbacks have said how much they like the makeup of their team. For the past year, the Dbacks have squelched any notion of trading away the future, the young farm prospects, for anything resembling a goo…
Marlins make a big splash at Winter Meetings
Written by Greg Thurston | December 08, 2011 | Comments Off | Climbing Tal's Hill (Astros)
One team continues to steal the headlines at this week’s Winter Meetings in Dallas. That team is the Miami Marlins. That’s right, the Miami Marlins. The team formerly known as the Florida Marlins has already signed three big name Free Agents this week. Heath Bell, Jose Reyes, and Mark Buehrle will be wearing the hideous new Miami uniform when the Marlins open their new retractable-roof stadium on April 4. The Marlins also offered Albert Pujols a 10-year contract in excess of $200 million but were ultimately turned down by the future Hall of Famer. Unable to woo Pujols, the Marlins [...]

No Place Like Pittsburgh: Nate McLouth and the Ruby Red Slippers
Written by Tom Smith | December 07, 2011 | Comments Off | MLB, Rum Bunter (Pirates)
Welcome Back Nate McLouth Nate McLouth signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates today. To say McLouth will be a major project for Pittsburgh Pirates skipper Clint Hurdle is an understatement. Apparently, Hurdle is up for a challenge and It’s obvious McLouth is pretty happy after reading his quotes about returning to Pittsburgh. But as you know, the Nate McLouth that returns to Pittsburgh doesn’t resemble the McLouth who left. At the time, it was a jaw dropping trade for Pirates fans. Now we know it turned out as a win for Neal Huntington. It just seems hard for me to see this [...]

Rule 5 Middle Infielders
Written by Nate Gilmore | December 07, 2011 | Comments Off | Puckett's Pond (Twins)
This morning I discussed some players the Twins should consider taking in the Rule 5 draft tomorrow. I concentrated on outfielders, pitchers, and catchers, because I think those might be the Twins’ best positions to fill through the Rule 5 draft. In response to my last post, TwinsGeek commented that the Twins might be interested in middle infielders as well. The more I thought about it, the more that idea made sense. Minnesota is so thin at the middle infield position that a Rule 5 shortstop or second baseman might make sense. When I looked at who was available, I [...]
