One thing is for sure, the Mets will be able to find a catcher this off-season. On the trade front, rumored to be available are Kelly Shoppach, John Buck, Chris Snyder, Ryan Doumit, Gerald Laird and Brandon Inge ( if you consider him a catcher ). If the team is unwilling to give up pieces for a catcher then they can sign Bengie Molina, Rob Barajas, Yorvit Torrealba or one of about 10 other free agent...

While many in Kansas City are celebrating Zack Greinke's triumphant victory in this week's Cy Young trophy presentation, the award means more to me and several thousands others in Kansas City. I suffer from severe depression, nervousness, sudden sweat breakouts and panic attacks. Prior to the 2006 season, Greinke nearly quit baseball due to anxiety and clinical depression. Many Royals fans wrote Greinke...

After declining their 2010 option for Miguel Olivo, the Royals are searching for a catcher according to Bob Dutton of The KC Star. Dutton mentions that it would be best for the team to fill their hole behind the plate prior to December 12th, allowing them to non-tender the incumbent John Buck. “We led all of baseball (last season) in passed balls and wild pitches,” general manager Dayton...

The Royals declined their 2010 options on Coco Crisp, Miguel Olivo, and Yasuhiko Yabuta, according to a team press release. On Crisp, the Royals chose his $500K buyout over his $8MM option. It's possible the Royals will offer Crisp an incentive-laden deal (he had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders this summer). The Royals plan to go in a different direction than Olivo at catcher; they may also...

The Royals have some decisions to make behind the plate, they are said to be discussing shaking things up. They currently have three catchers, who could all be available this off-season. Olivo has a club option while Pena and Buck are both non-tender candidates. Of course, the Royals will attempt to move them before they non-tender anyone. Miguel Olivo is the veteran of the group, the 31 y/o right...

We've covered the free agent market by position, but that only tells part of the story. With the GM Meetings just 11 days away, it's time to analyze the trade market. We'll start with catchers. Kelly Shoppach, Indians. Lou Marson, acquired in the Cliff Lee trade with the Phillies, could be handed the Indians' starting job in 2010. Shoppach is a non-tender candidate after hitting .214/.335/.399 in 327...

Similar to the 2010 Relievers post from several days ago, this is meant to present a snapshot of who remains on the roster, can we jettison some dead weight, and are there any holes to be filled? The particulars about how many batters the team keeps on the 25-man and how many infielders/outfielders/Teahen-Bloomquist-IF/OF hybrids are kept will have a factor in the final roster (please allow some leeway...

Somehow, there seems to be a growing consensus that the Royals should keep John Buck , try to get a draft pick by letting Olivo get signed elsewhere. Meanwhile, the Mariners shouldn't want Jason Bay , and the Pirates shouldn't want Scott Rolen .

Fixing The Royals So I did this little exercise a few years ago and now after another abysmal season (albeit under a different GM than the last time I did this) I can't help but put my thoughts and opinions down on paper. First, let's look at my philosophy. I've gotten very interested in sabermetrics and while my basic philosophy hasn't changed much I know have lots of new numbers to use to justify...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – Amid the Denver Broncos' 3-0 start, one disquieting element has been the team's difficulties in short-yardage and goal-line situations. Fullback Peyton Hillis, who resumed practicing Thursday after sitting out the day before because of a blow to the head, said the short-yardage issues that cropped up during last week's 23-3 win at Oakland can be addressed with better preparation...
