He was doomed as soon as they traded for Gonzalez.

Agreed on a fun interview and entertaining read. Wish it were longer.



At 5k a pop, no wonder you're so stingy! Gotta save up!

Greg/Tom, can we get an update on this?

Zimmerman and Sandoval both out for 6 weeks. Is 3B thin this year?

No love for Todd Worrell?

I also liked Liriano this year. Oliver Perez part II?

I thought Kendrys Morales was a less risky pick than Morneau. Now we're hearing June as a best case scenario for Morales' return after ANOTHER setback. Someone mentioned on a different post how it's strange that Utley allegedly went all winter without running/jogging/detecting a problem with his kne...

Hahaha. The problem I have noticed with Roto snips is that they are comprised of several different writers. Obviously some pay attention better than others. It's also obvious that some of the snips are written in haste and are written solely for the sake of saying something. Caveat Emptor.

They're not sexual in nature (or maybe I'm just not creative?) but I was thinking about great baseball player names lately and with all due respect to Coco Crisp, is there a "cooler" name in baseball than Tony Bastard? He's pitching like a bastard too. Honorable mention goes to Al Alburquerque who s...

I agree all are in trouble except for Crawford and avoided them all except for #1 on the list. Crawford could be in for a down year trying to justify that contract in a new environment. Or he could find his groove and post MVP numbers. Could go either way. He's not the only one in Boston off to a sl...

After playing in only 15 team NFBC leagues for several years, you would think that doing a 12 team league would be a piece of cake. For me it's the exact opposite. Guys you would die to find on the waiver wire in a 15 team league are a dime a dozen in the 12 teamers. Over the course of the season th...

Jeter's replacement

Frenzied Mauer owners are in full panic mode circulating a lot of theories, the scariest being Guillain-Barre syndrome.



Mauer's emergency hospital visit for influenza coincides with this possibility as well as his bilateral leg weakness. I hope for all involved that's not the case.

I really don't understand what the Twins are doing with this guy. You have one of the best hitters in the game signed long term under a monster contract. Why burn him out behind the plate, especially after considering his injury woes? Doesn't it make sense to make him OF/1B/DH and maybe 2nd or 3rd s...
