Now that the Yankees have won their 27 th franchise World Series and the baseball season has come to a sad close, it's time to start thinking about the awards. Sure, CC Sabathia was the American League Championship Series MVP, Ryan Howard his counterpart in the NLCS , and now Hideki Matsui has been named the 2009 World Series MVP, but those are the tip of the iceberg in terms of this season's awards....

ESPN Chat with BA's Jim Callis Mark (Austin, TX) What kind of numbers do you project from Starlin Castro down the road? I recently heard he was compared to Hanley Ramirez. If so, where does he fall in your prospect rankings? Jim Callis The sky is the limit for Castro, who's not far away from the majors as a 19-year-old. He still needs some baseball and physical development, but I could see him in Chicago...

Next up in our Trade Market series, second basemen. We analyzed free agents at the position here. Dan Uggla, Marlins. Uggla is currently neck-and-neck with Hanley Ramirez as the best-paid Marlin, and that puts the second baseman on the trading block. Uggla's 2010 salary has yet to be determined since he's arbitration-eligible, but it'll be a raise from this year's $5.35MM. That Chris Coghlan came up...

It's silly season for baseball. Without any games of note, the idle mind turns to rosterbation. As the offseason progresses, it becomes more complex and convoluted. It moves from "sign six players for a combined $100B," to a four-way deal that uses obscure passages from the collective bargaining agreement to get Hanley Ramirez for Dan Runzler and 19th-century promissory notes from the Bank...

"To determine MVP and Cy Young winners, he considers how many extra wins each player would have contributed to a team of otherwise all average players in his league based on his performance...

The San Diego Padres officially announced Jed Hoyer as their General Manager , the Cleveland Indians named their new Manager, Manny Acta , and the St. Louis Cardinals made Mark McGwire Hitting Coach . Hoyer is 35 and as some may recall, a friend of Baseball Analysts. In 2007 he was kind...

The Red Sox will be looking to upgrade the offense and the outfield, if Jason Bay isn't part of that equation they maybe calling Omar to inquire about Carlos Beltran. It seems like at least once an off-season we hear a Beltran to Boston rumor, this is nothing more then speculation by the Boston Herald and I don't put much into but I sure it's not the last time Beltran's name is brought up in Bean town....
