2009 MLB Trade Deadline

2009 MLB Trade Deadline

MLB Rumors: Do The New York Yankees Need Derek Jeter?

The New York Yankees spend huge amounts of money to be the best baseball team in MLB, translating the dollars into World Series Championships.

For the last 16 seasons, shortstop Derek Jeter has been the face of the franchise.

With the Jeter and the Yankees having trouble getting a contract worked out, will it really hurt the dynasty? 

While in his tenure with the Yankees, Jeter has helped lead the team to five World Series Titles.  

Jeter, the 11 time All-Star, seems to still be going strong, but do the Yankees really need Jeter to succeed?

Memo to the Boston Herald: Here's How Your Red Sox Trade Deadline List Should've Been

Recently, Michael Silverman of the "Boston Herald" published a list of Boston Red Sox trade deadline and other late July trades under Theo Epstein's stewardship (which you can see here: http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=11...).

In Silverman's list, he virtualy ranked the deals by the amount of success the team had after the trade. While that may be a big part about looking back past trades, it should not be the only way. This article is correcting some of the errors Silverman had made.

You probably won't agree with all my choices.

Sorry Barry, But the San Francisco Giants' Ship Has Sailed Without You

After browsing on the blogosphere, I found this article on the Daily Dish, a SB Nation MLB trade rumors blog.

Basically, in summary, it is suggesting that if the San Francisco Giants are looking for an upgrade in power, they should look in their own backyard and sign Barry Bonds.

It is a very intriguing suggestion.

Dayton Moore's Defining Moment

To the national media, the Royals' trade for Yuniesky Betancourt was a somewhat minor transaction:  partly because of the two cities involved and partly because of the players involved. To those of us who doggedly follow the Royals, however, this trade was a big, big deal, and one that was almost universally disparaged.

Fantasy Baseball All-Stars at the Break

With the Midsummer Classic come and gone, it is time to look at the Fantasy All-Stars for the first half.

Rather than simply listing the top-ranked players, we are going to take a look at those who have greatly outshone their preseason rankings.  It is these type of players that fuel a winning fantasy team. 

If you are the owner of these players, this might be your chance to "sell high" if you believe they can't keep up their performance during the second half.

Yankees Should Trade For a No. 3 Pitcher

The Yankees need to rummage in their closet and find what does not fit in their life anymore and eject it...that old pair of shoes...that worn out coat...

And some pitchers and postion players who have outgrown their use.

Red Sox Show Interest in Scott Rolen

According to multiple sources, the Boston Red Sox seem to be interested in the Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Scott Rolen.
Rolen was a member of the Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals before joining the Blue Jays. He was traded from the Cardinals to the Jays for power hitting first baseman Troy Glaus.
You might or might not know that the Red Sox are also interested in Blue Jays' ace pitcher Roy Halladay.

Garrett Olson and Ryan Rowland Smith Locks For Seattle Mariners Rotation

 

The Mariners made a necessary move this week sending struggling pitcher Brandon Morrow down to AAA Tacoma after his disappointing start in the 6-4 loss to the Texas Rangers.

Debating a Nationals Trade of Josh Willingham or Adam Dunn

Rumors have been flying around Nationals sluggers Josh Willingham and Adam Dunn. Most of the rumors have Willingham and Dunn headed to Boston, Kansas City, Atlanta, and the Mets, among others.

This article hopes to break down the reasons why and why not for trading Willingham and Dunn.

2009 NY Mets Mid-Season Report: Wait Until Next Year

There are going to be a lot of Mets fans that are not going to be too happy with me after they finish this article.

In fact, I'd venture to say that there will be a few who will refuse to finish it because they will say I'm not a true fan, I am being too negative, and that I am giving up the remainder of the 2009 season.

All of the above may be so, but since this is definitely an opinion piece, if you don't mind, allow me to fire away.
