For the most part, MLB teams are entering Spring Training with their third base position set. There are a few battles going on; Buscher versus Harris in Minnesota, Blum vesus Boone in Houston (yuck) and McPherson versus Helms in Florida. When those teams make decisions regarding the hot corner, I...

Most horrifying moment of the series: THAT PHOTO UP THERE. DO YOU GUYS SEE THAT? WHAT IS THAT? WHY IS THAT? You can, I am sure, imagine my PURE HORROR when I first saw that at the ballpark. During BP on Saturday, Inge’s hat stayed on, and it wasn’t until he trotted out of the dugout to w...

OK, I’ve seen a lot of blogs on the magical internets doing these midseason report cards and scorecards. I am currently being bored to tears by the All Star game, so what the hell. Obviously this is going to be RotT-style, but you already knew that, didn’t you? PITCHERS Jeremy Bonderman ...

The Los Angeles Angels were in the news as much as any other major league team this offseason. That’s what happens when you are a major player in the Alex Rodriguez sweepstakes. Not only did the Angels go after ARod, but Miguel Cabrera, Manny Ramirez, Paul Konerko, and every other big bat that...

The Detroit Tigers were the superstars of the offseason. In late October, the Tigers began their makeover by dealing away Jair Jurrjens (who seemed to snack on the Indians last year) to the Atlanta Braves, for shortstop Edgar Renteria. Renteria would take over the shortstop position formerly held by...

Well, I’m back from Spring Break. Apparently the University of Michigan follows the MLB Code of Spring, that being: if you’re super optimistic, it can totally be in February! The only difference is that MLB kicks off spring in Florida and Arizona, where it IS kind of spring-ish, but U of...
