MLB Fantasy: CC Sabathia, Felix Hernandez Among Two-Start Pitchers For Week 14
Posted: 4th July 2010 by Rick Milleman in MLB
A few players could provide your club with a nice boost if you are willing to scan the waiver wire. Coco Crisp and his fresh legs could provide steals. Tom Gorzelanny’s newfound rotation opportunity could provide strikeouts. And Aubrey Huff is a surprising source for most offensive stats, along with a little position flexibility.
Also, with the rash of injuries to middle infielders (Troy Tulowitzki, Dustin Pedroia, Brian Roberts, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins), a plethora ...
MLB Trade Rumors: Corey Hart is Perfect For the San Francisco Giants
Posted: 4th July 2010 by Jesse Motiff in MLB
While Brewer fans and management go back-and-forth on the merits of dealing Prince Fielder away for young, controllable pitching, there is little to no room for debate on Corey Hart.
Hart was named to his second All-Star team on Sunday, and is on pace to have the best season of his career. The Brewers need to sell high on Hart, and begin to bring good pitching to Milwaukee. The San Francisco ...
From the moment I watched my first game of baseball, I was mesmerized by the importance of the pitcher. To win games you need to have a consistent pitcher, something that Dontrelle Willis wasn't for the Detroit Tigers or the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Dontrelle Willis was the most exciting lefty pitcher to watch from 2003 to 2007, when he played for the Florida Marlins.
With the Florida Marlins he played magnificently, winning the ...

When he first came into the league as a 20-year-old, starting in the back of the rotation for the Cleveland Indians, many people said that CC Sabathia needed to lose weight if he wanted to be successful in the major leagues. He tried that.
A few years later, when he didn't get the calls that he felt should go his way, and threw immature tantrums on the mound, many other people said that Sabathia needed to mature ...

With the MLB All-Star Game just around the corner (July 13), lineups were announced today on TBS.
National League mainstays like David Wright and Hanley Ramirez were voted in by the fans, while the rest were left up to their fellow peers and Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel.

Today, the subject is the Detroit Lions.
To everybody who has been following this series, I will be out this next week on vacation. I will resume with the Green Bay Packers next Monday!
Biggest Strength: Tight End
Since this is the position where the Lions have the most talent (other than QB), I decided to make this the Lions' biggest strength. Plus, we still don't know that Matthew Stafford can get ...
It's that time of year again: selection Sunday. And of course, fans everywhere are questioning the roster choices.
I consider being placed on the final ballot a snub, because there's an 80 percent chance they won't make it.
