FOXSports, citing a Major League source, has listed the Phillies as the favorites to land Mark DeRosa. Despite a 23-homer season, expectations should be tempered. In a nutshell, here’s the problem with Mark DeRosa: we’ve seen him before and didn’t like the results. The Phillies need a third baseman. For various reasons, some good (the existence of Chipper Jones), some not so good...

I was thinking recently of who the Braves will trade one of their starting pitchers to since they will be trading one of them this offseason, or so they say. It's obvious that Derek Lowe will be hard to deal due to his contract (although all the experts thought he was a good value last offseason), and the Braves would be crazy to trade either Jair Jurrgens or Tommy Hanson . So Javier Vazquez is the...

Every few days, or every day or every week, basically when we feel like it, we'll run a post with a few vague items describing a Phillie or Pirate of the past or present. We'll ask that you guess that player in the comment section. The first person to guess correctly is the winner and the person who gets the...

Tonight, having finished my profiles of the Braves’ pitchers, I’m going to take a brief look at the 2010 payroll, since our offseason discussions are going to require a monetary framework. To start, the payroll, which I’ll break down into three categories: Guaranteed commitments: Derek Lowe ($15M), Chipper Jones ($13M), Javier Vazquez ($11.5M), Tim Hudson ($9M projected), [...]

First, let me say that I hope your respective teams’ off-seasons are going well. By now, Chipper Jones has probably bagged his fourth or fifth ten-point buck, and Jason Varitek is putting the finishing touches on his backswing. Sounds nice and relaxing, doesn’t it, and why not? Those fellas worked hard. They’re not sitting around [...]

The financial magazine Forbes has an interview up online with Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones . Why Forbes is interviewing a baseball player I do no know, but here is possibly the best answer to a question like this I've ever heard: [ Forbes :] Near the end of the season, you mentioned that you were considering retirement after next season. Now that that the season is over, do you still...

This is going to be a short review of the 2009 season of Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones . Not because he doesn't deserve a lengthy review, but because it's hard to extrapolate what really happened to Chipper this year. Was it as bad as his 2004 season -- his lowest OPS+ season outside of his rookie year? Maybe. Chipper's OPS+ was one point higher this year (117) than it was in 2004 (116)....
