The Baseball Index: Early American League Postseason Predictions
On Friday, we took a very early look at some National League postseason predictions, so it’s only fitting that we take a look at some early American League postseason predictions.
American League East
1. Z – Tampa Bay Rays: A full year of Matt Moore and Desmond Jennings and Evan Longoria, B.J. Upton, and David [...]
Projecting The Los Angeles Dodgers’ Starting Lineup
The Los Angeles Dodgers didn’t have much going on this offseason in terms of signing any high priced free agents, however that might change next offseason when they will most likely have a new ownership team in place. According to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, there are at least eight potential buyers still in the game for the Dodgers. [...]
Gio Gonzalez On The Move Again, Headed To Washington
Gio Gonzalez is only 26-years-old, considered one of the best left-handed pitchers in the game, and yet in 2012, he will be pitching for his fourth organization in six years. That’s amazing to me.
Gonzalez was traded today to the Washington Nationals for four minor league prospects. RHP Robert Gilliam also went [...]
San Diego Padres And Cincinnati Reds Complete Blockbuster Trade, Mat Latos Heads To Cincinnati
After making the postseason for the first time in 15 years in 2010, the Cincinnati Reds had big aspirations for 2011. Unfortunately things didn’t work out for the Reds in 2011 as they slumped to a 79-83 record and a third place finish in the National League Central.
One of the main reasons for the Reds’ [...]
Miami Marlins Willing To Break The Bank For Jose Reyes
Update: The Marlins have come to terms with Reyes according to Buster Olney. The deal is for six years and $106 million.
The Marlins have now reeled in Heath Bell and Reyes this offseason. I guess the whole “The Marlins aren’t serious players” nonsense has officially come to an end. And it doesn’t appear [...]
Los Angeles Dodgers Sign Chris Capuano
Sorry I didn’t get to this yesterday, but last night was a rough one. I was watching the PAC 12 Championship Game at an University of Oregon bar in NYC.
Since I have readers across the country, let me ask you something: what is in the water at the University of Oregon? Every girl that goes or went there is extremely attractive. It’s ridiculous.
If you are a male in high school, let me [...]
The Baseball Index: Bobby Valentine To Manage Boston Red Sox?
According to ESPN’s Karl Ravich, sources are saying that Gene Lamont is no longer a candidate to manage the Boston Red Sox. Ravich also then went on to say that Bobby Valentine has not been offered the job yet, but it appears “imminent.”
I wish the Red Sox would just end this already and pick a guy. This has been way too long of a process. [...]
Major League Baseball To Add Two More Wild Card Teams
On Thursday, Major League Baseball announced that they will be adding two more Wild Card teams — one in each league — and commissioner Bud Selig hopes to have this plan in place for this upcoming season.
Under this new plan, the two Wild Card teams will meet in a one-game playoff and the winner will advance [...]
Maddon, Gibson Win Manager Of The Year Awards
American League Manager of the Year: Joe Maddon
I don’t think even the biggest die hard Tampa Bay Rays’ fan (if there is such a thing) could have envisioned the Rays making the postseason after losing Carl Crawford, Rafael Soriano, Carlos Pena, Joaquin Benoit, Matt Garza, and Jason Bartlett last winter and then even losing Manny Ramirez just five games into the season. But despite all [...]
The Baseball Index: Game 6 Of The World Series Postponed
Major League Baseball has just announced that Game 6 of the World Series will be postponed tonight and will be played at 8:05 pm est tomorrow night. Game 7 will be moved to Friday night.
This postponement has advantages for both teams.
For the St. Louis Cardinals,[...]
