Does anybody know what kind of options Evans has left.  I would love to see this guy get a chance to play regularly in the majors, but I don't see it happening anytime soon in Anaheim.He seems...

Here are two guys with all the stuff to succeed but lacking results.  In my mind, they are quite similar as well (possibly with the exception of attitude).  Their progressions resemble one...

In my dynasty H2H league, I usually send out some off-season trades in jest such as Joba, Ian Kennedy, and Damon for Johan with comments like, "If only the Twins could get so much from the...

I was just browsing through some player notes and noticed something I hadn't seen before.  CBS Sports was reporting that Ian Stewart may be moved to 2B over the winter.Are the any Rockies fans out...

Who doesn't love a misleading diary title?I just figured it was worth mentioning that Matt LaPorta has played his first two Pioneer League games and hit a HR in his first on July 30.Sample size be...

There have been a lot of posts in recent weeks regarding the significance of the age of a prospect at a given level.  From what I recall, the general consensus was that a 23-year-old putting up...

I need some input from knowledgeable folks.  Help me out.I recently mentioned a trade rumor on a Rockies blog  consisting of Holliday for Capuano, Bush, and Mench.  Admittedly, the probability...

Hello Purple Row.  I am a Brew Crew Ball reader on a stroll through SB Nation.  There was a trade rumor mentioned on our end that I wanted to get your feedback on.The rumor, based on perhaps...

John described Johnny Cueto as an "overlooked prospect with a live arm" during the off-season.  It appears he has pitched in AAA for one start, advanced A for 14 very successful starts, and now...

Ok.  Someone help me out.  What is going on with Scott Olsen?  In a diary a couple months ago, people wrote about Olsen as though he was, say, the next Bonderman.  I think he will turn it...

File this under prospect busts younger than 24, along with Andy Marte.  Is Edwin a starter this year?  A reliever?  Or is he done?  He is out of options and I have to believe someone would be...

Somebody tell me what his deal is.  He appears to have progressed nicely (if a bit slowly) through the minors and looks like he could be a solid OBP guy with decent pop.  He mashes righties and...

What is his deal?  He seems to have been a pretty highly regarded prospect a couple years back.  Any Rockies fans or others know what his scenarios for playing time are?  Platoon with Hawpe?...

I need some advice.  I am coming off a championship in my H2H points dynasty league and am always looking to improve.  I have been offered Daisuke and Olsen for Smoltz and Bush.  I would not...
