It's Time For The Seattle Mariners To Trade Millwood

On Saturday, Kevin Millwood spun a gem against the Colorado Rockies, with a 2-hit complete game shutout in hitter-friendly Coors Field. The 16-year Mariners’ veteran seems like he has found his old self and his trade value will not get any higher.

The one thing I really enjoyed were the pressure packed 7th(games are only 7 innings in high school) innings, and of course earning saves.

Fantasy Baseball: Why Are People Lukewarm on Jonathan Lucroy?

While Milwaukee Catcher Jonathan Lucroy doesn’t have as many at bats as some of the elite catchers in the league, his ownership in fantasy leagues (less than 30.0 percent of Yahoo! and 15.0 percent of ESPN leagues) is a bit puzzling. . After all, he is hitting .323, which puts him ahead of all those elite catchers in that category.

Should Brewers Fans Start to Panic?

It has now been 31 games and very little has changed.  The Brewers are having tremendous problems.   Offensively they still have not broken loose, and on the mound they still have troubles.  Whether it is a lack of depth in games by the rotation or a lack of closure by the bullpen.  They are underperforming.  So is it time to panic now?
