There could be many reasons for this -- that the Phillies have doubts about his health, his maturity, clubhouse chemistry, or his ability to pitch consistently. This would have been more of a surprise had Myers not had a dust up with...

Derrick Goold expects the Cubs will offer Mark DeRosa a free agent contract. DeRosa, coming off wrist surgery, figures to field an offer from the Chicago Cubs, at the least. He and Chone Figgins are two of the best utility players in the game, and both are free agents. This isn’t exactly predicting something wild. After all, it would be the single most shocking event in Cubs history if they...

Like most Scott Boras clients, Holliday figures to reach the open market. The Cards have yet to make a formal extension offer; Holliday was one of 79 free agents to file yesterday. In another article,...

I'm still in Japan, but the internet situation has gone from worse to bad. Sister blog South Side Sox has its own reasons to wonder about the value of hitting coaches—in this case, of standing pat following Alex Rios's disastrous first year in Chicago. I'm not extremely familiar with the situation, but the case against Greg Walker seems to be the case against Hal McRae and, to be fair, most hitting...
