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.

In Boston this morning "Fenway Fans" are calling this blockbuster trade between the Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers one of the biggest trades in their franchise history since Babe Ruth was shipped to the Yankees.
I don't call it a "trade." I call it finally ridding Fenway Park of "garbage" that's...
The Los Angeles Dodgers have reeled in Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett from the Boston Red Sox, but what does it mean for Los Angeles?
In what should be the most expensive move in MLB history, Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Dodgers proved to be a match made in heaven for the...
Over the last few weeks, we’ve heard a lot about Stephen Strasburg and the impending decision to shut him down. It’s been mostly negative, but should it be?

It's surprisingly hard not to be excited about the Mariners right now. It is a nice change of pace from the previous decade or so. Whispers of "refuse to lose" are slipping out - timid whispers that respect the decade of futility, combined with the long odds the team faces right now, but whispers...
Cincinnati Reds minor leaguer Billy Hamilton is making noise with his speed – he set the minor league steals record on Tuesday, surpassing Vince Coleman’s 145 (though Coleman did it in fewer games). Hamilton was on my radar for the Portland Peskies awhile ago, after he clocked a 13.8 second in the...
As Melky Cabrera has reminded us, we can’t believe that everything we see on the baseball diamond is legit. As a fan of the game, it’s extremely frustrating, I know. If you’re a fan of the American League team that wins the pennant, I wouldn’t blame you if your anger doesn’t come out until October...
How do you disrespect Johnny Pesky? How do you stay away from the man's funeral when he's given most of his adult life (70 years) to the game and organization that you make your living off? How does 21 of 25 players on the Red Sox roster justify not attending the funeral of a Red Sox legend who...

June 2nd, 1990—that’s a date that a lot of Mariners fans remember. Randy Johnson threw the first no-hitter in the franchise’s history. Now 22 years later, on the 35th anniversary of Mariners baseball, and on the year that Johnson was inducted into the Mariners Hall of Fame, Felix Hernandez threw...
As the New York Mets continue their slow march to the end of the regular season, one troubling trend that can't be ignored is the sudden decline of Mets starter Johan Santana. Santana, who delivered what looks to be the apex of the 2012 season with his no hitter on June 1st, has fallen into a...
