Aroldis Chapman has dropped Athletes Premier International as his agents, according to ESPN's Jorge Arangure Jr. The move was first reported by Jorge Ebro of El Nuevo Herald, who also said that Chapman is now represented by the Hendricks Brothers. Randy Hendricks, who already represents one Cuban defector in Kendry Morales, confirmed the switch to Arangure. The timing of a switch seems a bit odd, because...

The void that will be created with the departures of John Lackey , Chone Figgins , Darren Oliver , and Vladimir Guerrero will be felt long after they sign new contracts with their new teams. Lackey is a true number one Ace, Figgins is a true lead off hitter and has great defensive skills, Oliver isn't only a lefty specialist, and Vladimir was the face of the franchise. But like Tony Reagins said on...

MLB announced the winners of the Gold Glove for the American League yesterday and once again, the awards prove that in a sport like baseball – where numbers mean everything – that the numbers, really, mean nothing. It's easy to take fielding percentage, the number of errors, put outs and assists to figure out who is the best fielder, but that's the equivalent of taking a player's batting...

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the handbook, it's 95% stats with a little commentary thrown in. Earlier, I posted what the handbook had projected for the 2010 Angels, but here are a few other things I found interesting:...

As much as people love to debate the Cy Young and MVP results every year, the problem is that rarely can anyone be absolutely certain that their suggested pick is the right one. There are so many different ways of evaluating who was the best pitcher or who was the most valuable player that, as much as fans live to call other people and especially the award voters stupid, these awards make it hard,...
