News continues to be a slow and very small trickle at this time of year, so I was a little surprised to see an interesting story on the Post-Dispatch website this morning. According to John Mozeliak, Jason Bay is not a priority . It’s quite a change from the interest the organization had in Bay just a few years ago and, honestly, it’s what most of us expected them to look at if Matt Holliday...

The Yankees: Minors to Majors (Free subscription) | 11/17/2009
Frankly, the Yankees are in pretty solid shape for the upcoming season. Cashman does not have to do a lot. Here is what I believe should be the Master Plan for Brian Cashman in the 2009-10 offseason. 1. Get Andy Pettitte re-signed. Andy is not likely to sign elsewhere. He stated that he would either go to the Yankees or retire, but I feel that going to the Astros or Rangers may still be an option for...

I created UZR projections for the 2010 season and the values are available on a Google Documents Spreadsheet . I got 4 years worth of UZR numbers from Fangraphs. Then I did a 5-4-3-2 yearly weighting regressed to 125 games with a -0.7UZR aging factor ( article where the math is explained ). I selected for the worksheet any players that played in at least 63 games at the position over the last 4 years....

As has been documented on numerous occasions at TMS, other Cubs blogs, sports talk radio, and basically any every modern media platform, we are tired of Milton Bradley, and wish the saga would end. With any luck, Jim Hendry can work some magic (and take on an equally bad contract) this week at the GM meetings. To have to go into January, or God forbid Spring Training knowing that Bradley is still on...

Nats pass on Kearns' option - nationals.com RF Austin Kearns' Washington career appears to be over. THe Nationals declined to pick up the 2010 option on his contract, buying him out for $1 million instead of paying him to play for $10 million. It is obviously the right decisions because Kearns can no longer hit. Kearns arrived with Felipe Lopez in a 2006 trade with the Cincinnati Reds for relievers...

Baseball players can make contributions in a number of different ways, the most obvious and talked-about of which is how they do at the plate. Defense, position, and baserunning tend to be brushed off as secondary concerns. What follows are the top and bottom 15 in the sum of these latter three values, as determined by UZR, Fangraphs' position adjustment, and Baseball Prospectus' EQBRR. Note that catchers...

We can just skip the whole background section, right? To many, Lopez's improvement as a hitter is a sign of things to come. To others, Lopez is a decent but by no means extraordinary bat that is approaching a plateau. Figuring out which it is will be of considerable importance as the Zduriencik front office works to move the team forward. So: is Jose Lopez turning into the guy a lot of people thought...

WASHINGTON – Justin Maxwell's grand slam off All-Star closer Francisco Rodriguez with two outs in the ninth inning gave the Nationals a 7-4 victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday, Washington's first win all season when trailing after eight innings. Maxwell drove a full-count pitch from Rodriguez (3-6) barely over the wall in left field. As the rookie rounded the bases, the Nationals streamed out...
