What Do I Do With…?

So I’ve been answering a lot of emails personally, rather than on the site lately due to my schedule and for that I’m sorry.  As evidenced in some of those letters, several people have the same questions about the same players.  “Is it still too early to cut bait on…?”  “What can I expect in [...]

The Rookie Report

One of the more difficult things to do, when trying to tweak your team through trades, is to decide what to do with some of your rookies.  Do you give up on the ones that are struggling?  Do you try and sell high on the ones that are playing well or do you keep them [...]

An Apology

To the thousands of Bartolo Colon owners, I feel the need to apologize.  I traded for him three starts ago, and since then he has completely fallen apart.  I can only assume that he has been jinxed by the transition and will suck for the rest of the year.  Sorry ’bout that.

The Buzzies – 5/28

Welcome to beautiful downtown Kansas City.  Well, ok, its not beautiful, exciting, or fun.  Despite this, players from around the league were willing, nay, eager to come to the heart of fly-over territory for a mere chance to win a Buzzie.  Strolling in with a confident grin is Jarrod Washburn who had two wins this week.  Oh, and over there is Joe Borowski [...]

First Look: Tyler Clippard

So here we are again.  Tyler Clippard, a young starter, thrust into the major leagues.  This time it is on the biggest stage in the game, Yankee Stadium.  He doesn’t come with all the hype that Phillip Hughes does, nor does he have equal “stuff”.  Yet he has done well in his (short) stint in the minors [...]

The Ins and Outs of Fantasy Baseball

In: Tony Abreu – The slick fielding kid mans a mean hot corner. He’ll hit for average and add more speed to the bottom part of the lineup.
Out: Andy LaRoche – It’s not the .429 OBP by any means, but if you’re not going to hit for average (.206) and you’ve got no power (0 [...]

Dont let him near your kid, he wants to “rear” your child.

Pretty funny stuff huh?  If you are like me, you have laughed at this trailer for the movie “Knocked Up” several times.  What makes this line so funny?  Two things.  First, is the simple double entendre of the word “rear”.    Second is the fact that harming the child in question is so far from an [...]

The Buzz Street Journal- 5/23

Timing.  It is everything.  What was, was.  What is, is.  What will be is what we must concern ourselves with.  It doesn’t really matter if your third baseman has sucked the high hard one so far this season. What is more important to you what he will do from today on.  What good is that [...]

The Stoplight – 5/21

Ryan Shealy’s bat has awoken!!!  You have to know that supporters of the young player are doing back flips over his recent performance.  He has certainly earned more playing time and could be a nice addition if you need someone at first.  It is very possible that he was dropped by someone that was too [...]

Cruising Rumorsville

So there I am. Just got the Gran Turismo out of the body shop (these hills in SF can do some serious damgae to the undercarriage) and who do I see as I’m rounding the corner past Fillmore? That’s right. In full length multi-colored, multi-patterned fur, with a wide-brimmed hat that put [...]
