Fantasy Basketball 2012: Stray Observations of the Fantasy Basketball Landscape
Yesterday, I made the pilgrimage to Yahoo! and ESPN to try my hand at some mock drafts. Part of this journey was to prepare myself for a few upcoming fantasy leagues -- including one you'll be reading about extensively in the near future (#teaserzomg!) -- but mostly it was to see if the industry...
Trades, Free Agents, and Rule 5 Selections in Franchise History
Alex Anthopolous recently re-stated that, while he is exploring all possible free agents, he would "exhaust [all possible trades] first before delving into free agency." It appears that Anthopolous' mantra is to focus on trades rather than free agency to improve the Blue Jays. As a prelude to the...
Who Are the Best Available First Basemen?
Yeah, this year's free agent class doesn't offer an epically good group of first basemen like next year's will- teams will presumably be lining up to sign Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder, Ross Gload and Adrian Gonzalez, the cream of the first base crop. But there are still some very interesting...
Saturday Rockpile: The stove is heating up as the Rockies begin to show interest in Free Agents
Rockies show interest in Hudson, hope Betancourt accepts arbitration - Fox Sports on MSNAlthough the Rox would net two draft picks and avoid paying $6 million for one year of an aging reliever, they still hope that Rafael Betancourt accepts their arbitration offer. His situation on the market may...
Crisp Rumor Hardly Fresh
It's not even Thanksgiving yet, and it's already beginning to seem like the daily White Sox rumors are simply those that have trotted out in the past. Today, it's Coco Crisp, no longer as a not-living-up-to-his-contract CFer on the trade market, but as a just-coming-off-of-two-shoulder-surgeries...
Saturday Rockpile: Rockies retain Phillips, protect five prospects by adding to 40-man roster
Phillips is in the fold - The Denver PostThe Rox signed Paul Phillips to a hefty $13,000/month contract yesterday, which gives the Rockies a contingency plan in the event that Yorvit Torrealba is lost to free agency and Michael McKenry doesn't become superman in Spring Training (which I have a good...
Morning Prowl: More Love For Miggy, Those Running Rays, the Numbers 6 and 19, and the Polanco Dilemma
First, a mea culpa to It's Just Sports. In yesterday's post about the arguments that are being made for Miguel Cabrera as AL MVP, I neglected to include Patrick Hayes' case, which was presented last week - before anyone else addressed BigMig's candidacy. (And I had it on my list of things to...
Lunchtime Prowl: D-Train's Pitching, Huff the RBI Man, Smoltz Talk, and Reviewing Comerica Park
As it turns out, Dontrelle Willis will be making a rehab start tonight for Triple-A Toledo, after all. Willis was originally scheduled to pitch Monday, but that was pushed back due to a sore hip. He was initially scratched for tonight, as well, but it appears he got the "all clear" sign from...
Morning Prowl: Free Agents to Be, Maggs's Hair History, Dropping a Contract, and Votto's Anxiety
Lynn Henning looks at the free agent decisions the Tigers will face in the offseason. And in the process, he credits the great work done by Eddie Bajek on determining Type A and B free agent status. (Eddie is also on Twitter, if you'd like to follow him.) My prediction? Adam Everett will be...
Evening Prowl: St. Louis Heat, The Ubiquitous Kurt, the Market For Pedro, and Wilkin Ramirez's Value
With tonight's temperatures in St. Louis expected to hit the upper 90s, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Derrick Goold passes along a story Jim Leyland told him about losing 11 pounds while catching a doubleheader in the heat of Savannah, GA. The revived It's Just Sports chatted with Kurt of Mack...
