If you haven’t been to Mock Draft Central and gotten in a few mock drafts, you need to do that. The data used today is taken from their ADP trend report, which I pulled this morning. Over the last week here are the hitters that are seeing the biggest upward moves in their average draft positio...

Once again showing that the Tampa Bay Rays organization is becoming a force to be reckoned with, the club last week sent Edwin Jackson to Detroit for Matt Joyce. Here are Joyce’s lines from last season: In 56 games at Triple-A Durham - .270/.348/.550 13 doubles, 13 home runs, 2 stolen bases In...

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 ...

Hey there folks and felines, hope you all had a good weekend! I’m back from the Cape, where all my expectations for the vacation came true (i.e. there was fun baseball, there was good food, I managed to get a terrible sunburn despite SPF 70 sunscreen). I saw bits and pieces of the Red Sox game...

First off, congratulations to Placido Polanco, who became an American citizen in a ceremony with a bunch of other cats at the ballpark before the game. Yay! Of course, he apparently passed the citizenship test THREE YEARS AGO, but had to wait for a security check. His wife and kids were already citi...

Why didn’t anyone tell me that Miguel Cabrera is in some circles nicknamed ‘the Puma’ (not, I don’t think, ‘the Big Puma’, which is Lance Berkaman)??? THIS IS VITAL INFORMATION, PEOPLE! Plus it meant that during today’s game we got the following glorious ser...

Yes, I may have slacked on my duties and missed the fact that Justin Upton took the collar last week against the Marlins (and nearly wore the hat Tuesday night going 0-for-4 with 3K’s), but I was all over the affairs in Anaheim. You might think that I was rooting for Ervin Santana in the top o...

Literally. The entire team had their socks up tonight, presumably as a sort of superstitious ballplayer luck-boost, and by cats, it worked. Barely, but a win is a win and we can’t exactly afford to be choosy these days. I think the only player on the field who did NOT have his socks up during ...

It is KILLING me to not be able to show you guys the view I had from my seat tonight yet. I didn’t get a lot of player shots, because we were fairly high up, but ohhhhh the view. Just wait ’til I get back to MA and upload these puppies. You’re gonna plotz. ‘Til then, you get ...

Got the word last night that Erie PA native Maria Sansone is leaving 'The 9' on Yahoo! and will be doing a new show on YouTube. Her new yet to be named show will launch in a few weeks. The US Census Bureau released their yearly metropolitan and micropolitan statistical area population estimates. The...
