It would be hard to find a closer with a resume as strong as Trevor Hoffman having as bad a start to the season.  Hoffman, who’s collected four blown saves in his last seven appearances, had his latest come last night against the Pirates when he gave up another home run.  In Hoffman’s previous game, [...]

We’re in to week three here at the BDD Roto League.  Unlike the first two weeks my team, The Great Hambino, has lost its  grip on first place.  Bill Baer’s Chasing Utley and I have been swapping first place pretty much all week with me landing in second today.
Here’s an updated look at the standings:

Well we’re into the third week of the season and I’m sitting pretty in the catbird seat at #1 [...]

On Tuesday I was lucky enough to cover the Red Sox Welcome Home Dinner at the House of Blues located across the street from Fenway Park.  The event, which benefits the Red Sox Foundation was attended by the players, coaches, owners and management of the 2010 Boston Red Sox and was one of the best [...]

This year the BDD, BP, & Seamheads staff decided to put together a fantasy league and compete with each other to see who is the best of the best in Fantasy Baseball.
A few of us will be chronicling the events of the league throughout the week.  Posts will include news on the league, waiver wire [...]

Our fourth visit to baseball’s best division sends us to Beantown. The Red Sox were the American League Wild Card in 2009 and made their 8th postseason trip in 12 years despite earning just one division crown. That’s one less division crown than World Series victories for the Nation. Can the Sawx find the playoffs [...]

Everything is bigger in Texas. Well, that might not always be true but it surely applies to the expectations of this year’s Rangers. The West looks up for grabs as the division’s dominant force from L.A. (via Anaheim) has taken one step forward and two steps back and all four teams have their constituents buzzing. [...]

In an article on the Boston Herald website, Herald writer Ron Borges makes himself look foolish.  In his article, he criticizes Red Sox GM for building the 2010 Red Sox by taking advantage of market inefficiencies  and focusing on pitching and defense rather than the three-run-home-run teams of the past.   Borges states:
“If an array of [...]

This post has nothing to do with Philadelphia, the Phillies or “It’s Always Sunny” even…  What it does have a lot to do with is the Oakland A’s and their decision to sign Ben Sheets. The name of this post — like the signing of Sheets — isn’t what it seems.  The A’s spending $10 [...]
