Nyjer Morgan Quotes and Moments

      I have to admit that when he was struggling in Spring Training I was one of the people who wanted Nyjer Morgan nowhere near the Bucco's lineup.  Please forgive me, Nyjer.  I was...

Trade Ian Snell?

First of all I'm not really sure what we can get for a guy with a crappy attitude who leads the NL in walks and losses AND our minor league system isn't exactly teeming over with SP.  At this...

Could we actually trade away starting pitching?

I think that in any other year this would have been laughable.  However, all of our pitchers are relatively young and pitching well under Kerrigan.  Our Starters have actually been our strength...

Alex Boone - A steal as UFA?

I am really interested by our behemoth of a UFA signee Alex Boone from Ohio State.  He appears to be an absolute Mauler in an NFL body who wasn’t drafted due to his off the field concerns. He is...

BA Prep Catchers Article and Jake Fox

Disclaimer:  I'm in favor of keeping Doumit at catcher and don't want management to panic and do anything stupid.    That being said there's been talk about if the Bucs should look at catchers...

'09 Pirates = '08 Twins?

This team looks a lot like last years Twins team to me.  That's a good thing by the way.  I'd be happy to have a season like they did last year. 1. Young starters pitching out of their minds,...

Van Slyke Q and A

Andy Van Slyke did a Q and A with Baseball Prospectus if anyone wants to check it out.  Pretty interesting stuff.  At the end he is asked about the state of the game and IMO sort of shoehorns his...

Drafftek Mock

The latest Drafttek simulation has a draft for the 49ers that I'd be pretty happy with.  They rate most of the picks (that they think we'll make) pretty well as "value" as opposed to "reach." ...

I wouldn't break anything in my house if we took Mark Sanchez

Disclaimer:  I am not saying if it were up to me I would take a QB at 10, because I'd prefer we didn't.  I'm just saying that I wouldn't freak out about it.  While it isn't going to be a huge...

2005 Draft - What ifs

Some people, including a Jets blog linked to on the site, are comparing this draft and Stafford to Smith and the 2005 draft, where a QB was forced as a #1 pick because the team picking 1st was in...
