    Baseball players and their nicknames
    A lot of baseball players have nicknames, many of them given by teammates, others by managers, sports broadcasters, etc. It doesn’t matter how you get it, but you’ll probably be known for better or worse by your nickname rather than your real name. Earlier this month, I saw an article from Booth Newspapers’ Steve Kornacki that [...]

    Why do some converted starting pitchers fail as relievers?
    Today, I went for my daily run and coincidentally ran into one of my baseball teammates and former professional right-handed pitcher Luis Torres. After running for awhile, we went to a public park and started to work out. As you can all imagine, we were talking about baseball. He asked me about Bartolo Colon and Freddy [...]

    Aggressiveness helped Tigers land Joaquin Benoit
    Right-handed pitcher Joaquin Benoit signed a three-year, $16.5 million deal with the Detroit Tigers just 16 days after the last game of the 2010 World Series.

    American League Offseason Rankings 5-9
    5. Rangers- Yes the Rangers are in the top 5 in my eyes.  And yes I know they lost out on Cliff Lee. But take away that and the fact they overpaid a bit for Adrian Beltre and they had a decent offseason.  They brought in catcher Yorvit Torrealba as well as Mike Napoli via-trade [...]

    Rockies Rumors: Jose Lopez and bullpen free-agent targets
    Here are a few notes on the Rockies complementary of  Troy Renck of the Denver Post. Recently acquired Jose Lopez provides roster flexibility if the free-agent market doesn’t pan out the way the Rockies are hopping it does.  Lopez can play the entire infield just not shortstop. Bullpen help is always on the list and [...]

    Kansas City Royals open to trading Tejeda?
    The Kansas City Royals appear open to trading right-handed reliever Robinson Tejeda, according to The Kansas City Star’s Bob Dutton. The Detroit Tigers set the market for setup relievers when they signed Joaquin Benoit to a three-year, $16.5 million deal earlier this month. This salary benchmark puts additional value for a solid setup man such as [...]

    Will the Rays’ Grant Balfour accept arbitration?
    There’s some thought, according to the St. Petersburg Times’ Marc Topkin, that right-handed relief pitcher Grant Balfour will accept arbitration and return to the Tampa Bay Rays in 2011. Balfour is a Type-A free agent, so if he goes to another team, he’ll cost them a draft pick. Topkin says that Balfour wants to return [...]
