Manny Ramirez drove the Dodgers to within three games of the World Series, but no one knows whose uniform he’ll be donning in 2009. Alright, the push is on to hammer the rest of these reports out as we gear up for the release of the 2009 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit. If you’ve missed any of the pre...

I’m way behind here on publishing the commentary from each selection in our slow mock draft. To refresh your memory, go back and read the write-ups for round 1, round 2, and round 3. Round 4 : Pick 1(37) - @seniorcircuit - C.C. Sabathia - I was surprised and pleased to find Sabathia still on t...

One of my new favorite personalities on twitter is Ron Aguirre (@xxldaddyo). Ron was the publisher of the short-lived XXL National Sports Daily in 2006, which was an homage to Frank DeFord’s old “National Sports Daily” from 1990. XXX National Sports Daily was a 150-paged daily PDF ...

We have a new column from Ken Rosenthal this evening. Mark Teixeira is holding up many areas of the free agent market, as guys like Brian Fuentes and Milton Bradley know the Angels will be interested if Tex signs elsewhere. Rosenthal believes the Yankees should continue to be aggressive and make a c...

Jake Peavy isn’t going to the Cubs… for now. And just when I was starting to like the names being mentioned. Did you notice how the rumored packages went from being awful, to decent, to pretty good? At the very least, Kevin Towers deserves credit for not jumping on any old deal, like som...

HOF Recap & Jays Notes Sherry Magee only received 25% of the Veteran’s committee votes (3 of 12) and thus fell short of the required 75% needed for inclusion. The only player selected for the HOF from the pre and post-1943 ballots was former Yankee and Indians second baseman Joe Gordon. G...

I have to admit that I’ve gotten caught up in the ‘trade Jhonny Peralta‘ hype. You’ve heard all the rumors here. The most prominent rumor was Peralta to Los Angeles, based on their shortstop issues with Rafael Furcal out. A secondary rumor had the Rays inquiring about Peralta...

Let me start by saying I understand perfectly well that the Tribe had to trade CC Sabathia. The season was over almost before it started, though most of us didn’t realize it until two or three weeks ago. So, with the Tribe unable to get his double-C on a dotted line, the big man had to go. Eve...

Tomorrow's LA Times reports that Dodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal will undergo back surgery tomorrow and miss a minimum of 8 weeks.  Joe Torre cannot be happy since the club's run production has declined by almost 2 runs per game since Furcal went down.   The Angel Berroa trade looks really good no...

I have to disagree with the decision the Braves are making with Chipper Jones (not putting him on the DL). Why risk further injury to their star third baseman who is currently battling a Quadriceps injury during his quest for a historic season? A day after Bobby Cox said that he was almost certain t...
