Injuries, clubhouse turmoil, and a disappointing second half collapse foiled the Houston Astros 2009 plans. An off-season roster re-tooling, a new manager (this time actually hired by the team’s General Manager!), and a few budding prospects has hopes renewed… but what team isn’t hopeful in March? Brian Joseph figuratively visits Houston and gives his outlook [...]

Our 20 Questions series marches on with BDD’s Andrea Betts in the hot seat. Since most of the questions are really softballs and Betts plays softball in the summer, this should be right up her alley. Like snowflakes, no two BDD writers are alike and Andrea proves that once again. Take a look at her [...]

Doug Thorburn does the impossible in our latest 20 questions series… he mentions Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire BUT doesn’t once mention steroids or HGH. He couldn’t get through the GM portion without mentioning Billy Beane but he did avoid the use of the phrase “Moneyball” so let’s give Mr. Thorburn a round of applause [...]

“Orange Jesus” has arrived and brought a few of his playmates from camp to Baltimore. Kevin Millwood and Garrett Atkins were brought in to be camp counselor and help the young Orioles learn to make fire, chop wood and melt S’mores perfectly. Ok, it’s more fun than it sounds but the exciting young Rays team [...]

Whenever there is internal discussion about David Golebiewski, I always just bang on the keyboard to refer to him in my IMs or e-mails. (Kind of like this — Gaogeovnaodvofjlksi) And those I’m talking to know who I’m talking about. Now that David knows he’s being talked about behind his back (all good stuff, of [...]

BDD’s Craig Brown is a Royals fan. We’re sorry. Here’s his response to our 20 questions…
(You can also find Craig’s excellent work at Royals Authority.)
How did you begin writing for Baseball Daily Digest?
Joe thought I was scooping him with all my great Royals dirt, so he brought me on as a writer. Sorry, that’s [...]

As our “20 Questions” with BDD writers continues, one thing is for sure… no two BDD writers were built alike. Eric Polsky is no different. Another BP Idol find, Eric’s passion for the game is evident in his answers given and readers can look forward to his legal background providing insight on anything related to [...]

Since hardly anyone knows about our writers at BDD, we decided to do this series and David Wade gladly agreed to participate. Once you read through his honest responses, our guess is you’ll stop back to read what Mr. Wade has to offer. Then you’ll also probably get why his introduction started with “Since hardly [...]

BDD’s Isaac Thorn considers himself a simple man… that joke writes itself, doesn’t it? Actually, Mr. Thorn is a datacaster for MLB.com and while he already has a “job in baseball”, the guy still wants to “earn a living writing about baseball.” The nerve! Terms of the deal were undisclosed but Isaac is signed to [...]

During his life, Jeff Lubbers admits that he’s developed allegiances toward the Nationals, Giants and Athletics. Add that in to the fact that he’s a lifelong Tiger fan and ‘09 was a rough rooting year for Jeff. The only way things could have been rougher is if that was Tiger Woods instead of the Detroit [...]
