Upton as part of their standard off-season due diligence, but were evidently rebuffed, as there are...

He is one of the few winners of the mark of "defensive excellence" that actually deserves to be crowned. Here's what the Rays presser had on Longo: "It's the one award that I've wanted to win since I started pro ball," Longoria...

More photos » by J Pat Carter - AP Browse more photos » Slowinski asked what the Rays should do with Andy Sonnanstine last week. It's pretty obvious. The team needs a new catcher.

Yesterday we started discussing my plan for world domination… of the baseball variety. We began by looking at who’s leaving and what the roster might look like sans some important pieces. Today we are going to plug the holes, fill the gaps, and make the Mets into World Series contenders for 2010. Let’s get started, eh? I need to start by saying this; some of our gaps may need to...

A quick smorgasbord here on two thoughts I have in my mind but are undeserving of their own full-fledged post.
