During my usual semi-interested stroll around the mock drafts to see what everyone thought the Eagles were going to do, I noticed a few of them, including some national guys, think the Eagles should select a cornerback with their first round pick. But, as is usually the case with outsider Eagles news or opinion, I'm left shaking my head wondering why in the world the Birds would consider such ...

Justin Masterson is a pitcher many have been waiting on, though it took a trip out of Boston for the potential production to finally be there. Unfortunately, the move to Cleveland didn’t get off to the best of starts:
1 Win 57.1 Innings 4.55 ERA 1.59 WHIP 52 Strikeouts (8.2 K/9) 35 Walks (5.5 B/99) .319 BABIP
Control was clearly his major issue, though not indicative of his abilities.
Over his minor league ...
