Evaluating WAAS, WAR As HOF Measuring Sticks
The results of this year’s Hall of Fame voting and with them a renewed debate about what actually makes a worthy candidate. This debate has been around for decades, before the question of steroids arose, and has more to do with voting on “very good players,” you know, the guys who are at the top of the league but not necessarily among the best ever. A wide range of opinions exists as to who should be enshrined in the hall. I personally am in the camp that says that only the best of
Here's photos of some of your favorite baseball players.
They're members of baseball's "Hall of Shame." These are police mug shots of players arrested. Players like Dave Stewart and Manny Ramirez. Stewart had several run-ins with police, but the most notorious incident occurred in Los Angeles in...
The truth hurts, as Boston Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington admits that it's hard to watch the current Red Sox team play baseball games.
His confession came before Boston's 4-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Monday. With the loss, the Red Sox have loss a season worst seven games in a row --...
Juan Pierre is still with the Philadelphia Phillies and I am not surprised. Why would you swap a .300 hitter to save $267K and receive a no-shot prospect?

Welcome back to Dixon’s picks. I’d like to thank Clave for covering for me last week. He did a good job, almost too good of a job. Matt Harvey, Brett Anderson, Hisashi Iwakuma, and Adam Ottavino combined for five wins, 31 strikeouts, a 1.41 ERA, 0.95 WHIP in 38.1 innings. That’s some clean...
Last Week: 3-3
This Week: CLE (9/3-5); at LAA (9/7-9)
So, What Happened?
If last week was a football game, we would call the game “a story of two halves.”
We would have said that the home team stunk out the joint in the first 30 minutes, then regrouped in the locker room, made some adjustments,...
Television's late night King Johnny Carson slapped the label, "MR.BASEBALL" on former major league catcher turned broadcaster Bob Uecker in the 1970's. Uecker played 297 games in a six year career with four different teams (1962 - 1967). He's the only .200 hitter I know that now occupies a place of...

As August turns to September in this sometimes God forsaken 2012 baseball season, this isn’t whatTigers fans had in mind for Labor Day weekend.
The worries were supposed to be the usual for this time of the year: getting the kids back to school; figuring out...
Baseball teams have "bad" season's because of many reasons. The team has terrible pitching. Their hitting, or fielding sucks. The managers a total jerk, and in the Boston Red Sox case this season, players just refuse to perform for a manager they don't care for.

The Dodgers have been criticized for the finances of the Adrian Gonzalez trade, but the investment will be profitable under a new television contract.
While the Dodgers added nearly $250 million in Boston salaries to take on Adrian Gonzalez in their recent acquisitions, the ownership could take in...
I understand everyone’s desire to try their best to extend the career of Chase Utley. I’ve heard the suggestions, like everyone else has, for the past couple of years. “Put him in the outfield.” “Try him at first.” Aside from the obvious 250 pound issue at first in Ryan Howard, some of the...
In 2003, when baseball enacted the “Competitive Balance Tax”, the concept was that it would force large market teams to spend less. After all, there was nothing inherently fair about watching the New York Yankees have a payroll of $188 million, and the Kansas City Royals have a payroll of $39...
