This might seem like a far-fetched idea, but I'm sure there were at least a few people who were disappointed when The Bonifacio Experiment ™ finally ended last season. You know, like... maybe some of the members of Emilio's immediate family. If you were one of those three people, our friend JCR at the Sun Sentinel has dug deep into the Bill James Handbook to find a reason for you to be filled...

Chris Coghlan returned to his home in Tarpon Springs Monday empty handed from a two-week hunting trip to Kansas. But the Marlins left fielder then bagged a trophy bigger than any potential deer on Tuesday when he was named the National League Rookie of the Year. Coghlan, 24, beat out runner-up J.A. Happ of Philadelphia and third-place finisher Tommy Hanson of Atlanta, both pitchers, in becoming the...

The only sure thing the Marlins obtained on Thanksgiving Day 2005 was salary relief. Yes, they acquired Hanley Ramirez, Jesus Delgado, Harvey Garcia and Anibal Sanchez, but none of them were considered certainties. For the four players, the Marlins gave up Josh Beckett, Mike Lowell and Guillermo Mota. The Marlins had to shed payroll, but they weren't going to relinquish Beckett in a deal that didn't...

Every year the bloggers and members of the SBN baseball blog community get together and do our own BWAA-style voting for all of the major awards. No Braves finished very high in the voting. Surprisingly, Javier Vazquez was the Braves player who ranked the highest. Of course, Pujols won unanimously, as he should have, but it was a real scrum for second place votes.
