Randy Johnson's Gopherball Struggles
If any of you are familiar with Baseball Mogul, you might know that some of the best values in the game are with Hall-of-Fame pitchers at the end of their careers. They don’t require huge contracts, and they’re easier to predict than the young pitchers. There were always a couple...
Early Worries
Almost three years ago to the day, I wrote up early season Worry Power Rankings. It's kind of funny to revisit them now -- half of the players on there had already passed "worry" on their way to "decay", and it's funny to think that there was a point when some of us were wondering if Barry Bonds...
Community Projection: Randy Johnson
There are, like, two of you sitting in an office, wondering why you’re sitting in an office today. I feel your pain. I’m the third. If I had the day off today, do you know what I would do? I would sit in an easy chair, listen to the rain, and continue reading Team of Rivals. That is, I...
And the final spot on the roster goes to...
If I told you two months ago that the A's were going to sign a certain 6-foot-10, left-handed free agent pitcher this offseason to bolster the young staff, you would've been ecstatic, right? Well they still can! It turns out there are actually two men in the world who fit this description, and...
Who Wants To Play For The Washington Nationals? PLUS: Winter League Updates...and This Day In DC Baseball History.
More On Dunn.... The baseball world's gone silent, at least when it comes to Washington Nationals' news...The San Francisco Giants just agreed to a deal with Randy Johnson, (and the best title and story on the signing has to be from McCovey Chronicles, where "Grant" writes, "Randy Johnson is a...
Randy Johnson Is a Giant. Also, a Giant.
The Good: For starters, Randy Johnson. The guy is 45, but he can still pitch. After missing most of 2007 with back surgery, Johnson came back to pitch 184 strong innings. He still has one of the highest strikeout rates among starting pitchers, and his control is still good. The Giants have four of...
Saturday Rockpile: Back to being underrated...
To paraphrase an infamous Dan O'Dowd statement from last season, maybe high expectations weigh down on the Rockies. So this could be a good thing. At any rate, with the Giants signing of Randy Johnson, one of the reactions I've seen (not from our level headed friends at McCovey Chronicles so much,...
Winter Meetings and the San Francisco Giants, Day II
A semi-fictional conversation: Agent for Unnamed Player: Brian! Good to see you. How is Yorvit Torrealba working out for you? Sabean: Uh, he hasn't been on our t... Agent: Super, just super. Say, I have a client, and he really wants to pitch for the Giants. Sabean: Well, I'll kick his tires...
A's Shopping List
The missus and I are out the door to use my credit card, but since Friday's my front page day, I thought I'd quickly post my A's wish list, in order of priority, in the spirit of the biggest shopping day of the year: 1. Rafael Furcal - "The Torpedo" lunched with Beane and checked out Bay Area...
A Harden Luck Pitcher: Cubs 0, Diamondbacks 2
Well, that was a waste of time. No, not Rich Harden's effort in the Cubs' 2-0 loss to the Diamondbacks, continuing Bank Holding Company Ballpark's reputation as a Cub house of pain -- the Cubs are now 13-26 there, and that doesn't include the two playoff losses there last year. I wasted my time...
