The Texas Rangers had a hectic schedule in May, and it ended at home versus the Kansas City Royals. 

After a recent slew of injuries, the San Francisco Giants’ biggest overall weakness has quickly been exposed.

The team lacks depth, a fact that could go on to plague them as the season continues.

Big Brown—one of Ryan Howard's many nicknames—was bestowed upon the first baseman during his reign as the Philadelphia Phillies' best power hitter.  Now a changing of the guard is in order. Big Brown Part Deux: The Real Big Brown is already underway.

In the wake of Memorial Day, new Kansas City Royals hitting coach George Brett sat before an outfit of reporters at Busch Stadium, controlled rage streaming from his glare.

There are some Major League Baseball players that make a mockery of playing defense.

Whether it is constantly booting balls hit to them, dropping high pops or throwing the ball nowhere close to where it was intended to go, some players just don’t have what it takes to play a position on a regular basis.

Obviously we're just over two months out from Major League Baseball's trade deadline, but already there is some speculation as to who might find themselves to be buyers and who might be sellers come July 31. 

One of the more intriguing characters in this year's midsummer drama will be the Philadelphia Phillies. 

The Cleveland Indians were the hottest team in all of MLB at the start of May, going 15-4 for the first 19 games and grabbing first place in the AL Central.

The team has since cooled to 3-8 for the last 11 and has relinquished the top rung to the Tigers, but they had a solid month. The Indians had plenty of star players for the period but also had underperformers as well.

When the Atlanta Braves signed center fielder B.J. Upton last winter to a lucrative five-year, $75.25 million contact, they envisioned a young star who would provide solid production in the middle of their batting order for years to come.

They may one day rue that deal.

As I awaited the beginning of St.

May has come and gone, and the Washington Nationals are still struggling to stay above the .500 mark. At 27-27, it's time for Davey Johnson's club to step it up and play more consistent baseball.
