Over the Monster (Free subscription) | yesterday
So, let me throw a small hypothetical out to ya. I'm not the stat research guy around here. As it turns out, YOU are my stats research. So, this may be the stupidest idea ever, I dunno. But, how do we all feel about a potential Hermida for Juan Pierre trade with the Dodgers ? I know that Pierre hits left, so he wouldn't be a replacement for Bay's right handed power bat for the Monster, but still. If...

Because the Dodgers outfield situation could impact the Mets in several different ways, I wanted to recap several points of interest that have occurred the last 24 hours. The biggest item is Manny Ramirez will exercises his 20M player option and return to the Dodgers for the 2010 season ( source LA Times ). Not only is Ramirez out of the mix for the Mets left field job but he has also more then likely...

Orlando Hudson Hudson's red hot start to the 2009 season made those who predicted that his offense would suffer away from Chase Field look foolish (including me). Unfortunately, he slowly but surely regressed over the course of the year, all the way down to a line of .283/.357/.417/.774 , which was closer to what many projected in the first place. His wOBA on the year of .342 ranked 12th among all...

I don’t know why I do this to myself. I generally try to avoid doing this, but I accidentally read a comment written by Chuck as I was reading through ccd’s site. Early in the comments it’s suggested that Hendry should trade Ryan Theriot this winter. Chuck responds by saying something as silly as he usually does: Theriot would have brought a lot in return in the winter of 2007. No...

Fans support Manny Ramirez in the wake of his steroid suspension. Photo Credit: Chris Pizzello - AP After a heartbreaking loss, it’s best to take a giant step back. It’s best to look at a failure against the backdrop of the season as a whole. The first conclusion I reached was, “At least we aren’t Washington Nationals fans”. Jokes and second-guesses aside, this season...

THE PLAY: In what should have been yet another routine doubleplay, Chase Utley throws wide of first baseman Ryan Howard for the second straight game. The ball caroms off the visitor's dugout to score pinch-runner Juan Pierre and tie the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the eighth inning.
