[Updated at 9 a.m.] Tigers minor league third baseman Ronnie Bourquin received a 50-game suspension yesterday, after testing positive for an amphetamine. Good timing, with the team having to decide who to keep on the 40-man roster. He'll serve the penalty at the beginning of next season. Bourquin played in 118 games between Single-A and Double-A this year. He batted .267/.361/.408 with eight home runs...

If Matt Holliday and Jason Bay elude the Mets and Mike Cameron wants to remain in center field then the next free agent outfielder would be Marlon Byrd. First let me start by saying, I'm not sure Bryd would even be an up-grade over Pagan. I'm not that familiar with Byrd and have no idea what Pagan will really end up being. But the Mets view Pagan as a 4th outfielder and Byrd has played at least 100...

When the Mariners traded for Jack Wilson , we knew it a move fueled by defense. The front office and coaching staff made no secret of that. Wilson brought a glove, an excellent glove capable of making up for a lackluster bat, and this was okay, because we knew that he'd be able to field while remaining something above a black hole at the plate. However, over the span of the next six weeks, Wilson would...

For your discussion. They have to declare for FA in the next 15 days. RP-R Miguel Batista SP-L Erik Bedard 3B-R Adrian Beltre 1B-L Russ Branyan OF-L Endy Chavez DH-L Ken Griffey Jr. DH-R Mike Sweeney SS-R Jack Wilson So expect extensions or FA announcements for all of those guys. Pravda doesn’t list Wilson, presumably because the M’s could pick up his option year [...] -- This post came...

In his most recent mailbag , Marty Noble suggested the Mets sign free agent outfielder Mike Cameron . This a smart proposal for a variety of reasons. Cameron has long been one of the most underrated players in baseball (his career worth is on par with some low-level Hall of Famers) and even at 36 years old he is still a well above average performer. At the plate, Cameron is most known for his power...

I would never go as far as to say I'm rooting for A-Rod but it's satisfying on some level to watch him shut up braindead Yankee fans and members of the media. Here are this week's links: Take Me Back To April - Our hopes and dreams for the season generally didn't pan out. Alomar, Shines, Alicea Out; Warthen, Johnson In - It was all Luis Alicea's fault!

One day this spring my son wanted to watch the Little League World Series when it was on TV, the team that was on that day was from Long Island, each kid said their name and there favorite player. At least 20 of the 25 players named Jason Marquis as their favorite player, the veteran pitcher was a NYC LL hero who threw a no hitter in the LL World Series . The kids from his home town aren't the only...

Congratulations, Cubs fans. You’ve done it. You should be so proud of yourselves. The Cubs have not yet traded Milton Bradley, but he’s not going to be back in 2010. The Cubs will find a team to take him, send along half the money he’s owed (about $10.5 million) and seek a new right fielder who likely will not be as good as Milton Bradley. Well done. You all deserve a pat on the...

The A's had a good first part. Hitting your spots. When some guys can't do it, they miss the zone. When other guys can't do it, they throw meatballs. Left-handedness aside, Langerhans couldn't have asked for a better pitch to drive into right. On the one hand, it's sad how quickly Endy Chavez has been forgotten, but on the other hand, hey, Langerhans. RRS, by the way - good number of strikes, and it's...

Michael Saunders did not get the call from Tacoma when Endy Chavez was injured in June, but it took him less than a month to convince the Mariners that he was ready for the majors.

More photos » by Jeff Chiu - AP Browse more photos » Widely hailed as a coup for Ruben Amaro, it appears that the Cliff Lee trade is not having the effect anyone expected it to have. There are creeping concerns that the Phillies have gotten complacent now that they have the 2009 Cy Young Award winner on their roster. And, there's good reason for these concerns. Just check out the statistics:...
