• mccoey01: Keep an eye on Phillies' Dominic Brown. This kid's gonna be good....

With news that catching prospect Carlos Santana has been called up by the Indians, the single biggest mistake made so far (among many) by the the McCourt/Colletti regime in their mismanagement of the Dodgers is about to be exposed for all the world to see. For those of you who don’t follow the Dodgers or [...]

Every now and then on Teh Interwebs, you read something that you know — you just know — simply cannot be true. Today, I read one of those things when I read that the Indians of Cleveland are major league baseball’s most-hated team. And yet, according to Nielsen, they are. And while I find it [...]

The Indians finished tied for last place in the AL Central in 2009, tied with Kansas City. So it’s not realistic to think they’ll go worst to first and take the division. But the Tribe does have a few things going for them. First, the Central is a weak division, and neither the Twins nor [...]

In a preseason post on his fantasy baseball site Roto Authority, Tim Dierkes ran through the guys he thought had the best chance at hitting 20 homers and stealing 20 bases in 2009. The list: Hanley Ramirez, Grady Sizemore, Alfonso Soriano, Ian Kinsler, Nate McLouth, Corey Hart, and Brandon Phillips. Dierkes also suggested a few [...]

Well that’s something I’d never seen… In last night’s 10th inning victory over the Royals, the Indians’ Shin-Soo Choo came up to the plate with no outs and runners on first and second. And then, that happened: I’m sure that pretty soon MLB will take the video down so for those of you late-comers, here’s [...]

This past Friday, Nick wrote a post with the simple premise – if you can cut one person from each team in the National League, who would it be? And people got angry. Very, very angry. They called us names. They said that it was “the most pointless story I’ve ever read” and “one of [...]

Crowdsourcing the Greats: The Greatest Left Fielders of All Time

It’s time to continue our ongoing series wherein we derive rankings for the top players of all time at each position on the diamond by adding up each player’s rankings on the first ten top-10 lists to appear in a Google search, on the somewhat suspect assumption that millions of clicks and thousands of links [...]

Crowdsourcing the Greats: The Greatest First Basemen of All Time

Continuing with our ongoing series wherein we rank the greatest players of all time by aggregating the first ten “top 10″ lists at each position discovered through a Google search, we turn in this edition to first basemen.
