Several years ago, Topps Magazine ran an article showing baseball cards that depicted players as literal interpretations of their surnames. In keeping with that tradition, I have combed through the rosters of teams and found many players with fun last names. The Brewers provided a plethora of playful players. From the 25-man roster: Dave Bush, Todd Coffey, Braden Looper, and Jason Kendall. From the...

Brewers right-hander David Riske is in the second season of a three-year, $13MM deal inked in December 2007. At the time, and especially in these current economic times, it was a pretty hefty price for a non-closing right-handed reliever. Then again, it'd be tough to argue he didn't deserve it. Riske dominated the competition during the '07 season, with a 2.46 ERA, 52/27 K/BB ratio and 16 holds in...

2008 Royals Draft Review The Royals had yet another top 3 pick in 2008. The choice for top prospect in the draft was not quite so clear as it had been in 2007. Pedro Alvarez was put forth by many as the top prospect but he had some contact issues in college that I was concerned about. While there may not have been an elite top prospect, the 2008 class was extremely deep in talent-a very good year to...
