Mlbtraderumors. com reports that the Twins and Rangers are the two teams rumored to be most interested in acquiring Mike Lowell from the Red Sox.  Makes sense to me. The Rangers were reported to have strong interest in Lowell this offseason, but nothing got done. Apparently this was because of the Rangers’ current financial problems (the rumors I recall had the Rangers agreeing to pay $2.5 to $3.0 million ...

The current conventional wisdom is that the AL is the better of the two major leagues.  The Giants seem to be taking advantage of this fact. Aubrey Huff, Juan Uribe, Pat Burrell, and Santiago Casilla are all AL cast-offs who seem to have rediscovered their old glory coming (or returning) to the NL.  In the case of Burrell and Casilla, in particular, the sample sizes are too small to draw any ...

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed veteran right-handed pitcher Kiko Calero to a minor league contracton Friday, but his call-up to the Major League roster can be expected, possibly in the next week. Following being swept for the first time at Chavez Ravine by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, concerns are once again rising regarding Dodgers pitching. In the three games this weekend, the Dodgers' pitching staff surrendered 20 runs while ...

And as many Yankee fans know, Halladay ...

The Cincinnati Reds are seemingly caught up in their own hype.  Sure, they're currently in first place.  But they missed a huge opportunity to stab a midseason dagger right in the hearts of the St. Louis Cardinals and the rest of the NL Central last week. The Cardiac Reds lead the NL Central by a game and a half.  They also lead the league in come from behind wins, and victories ...

Delving into the depths of the Mets' minor league system, one would be muddled in a bunch of names that we will likely never see on the Mets' big league roster. The same thing goes for just about any organization, but the Mets always seem to churn out prospects more slowly, or trade them away. But, out of all the prospects that the Mets a grooming, a few gems could potentially ...

Ever since the Giants parted ways with Barry Bonds in 2008, wait check that, ever since the last couple seasons of Bonds's career, the San Francisco Giants simply couldn't score runs. From 2006-2009, the Giants lived and died with their pitching staff. And prior to 2009, they did nothing but die with their pitching staff because in each of the previous four seasons, San Francisco finished under .500. But then came 2009, ...

Whether it was the lack of mystical energy from a magical wizard or just plain being outplayed on the diamond, the Dodgers had a difficult weekend on the home front, as the Los Angeles Angels completed their first ever sweep of the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. James Loney sparked the Dodger bats with two doubles and three RBI late in the series finale on Sunday, but it wan't enough as the Angels held on for ...
