It appears to be the consensus of itinerant baseball beat writers everywhere that this week's general managers' meetings won't be nearly as active and/or exciting as those which transpired at a ritzy southern California resort last November ... but judging by the quantity of rumors already swirling around, I don't think we're going to have to worry about not having anything to talk about: ●...

Powered by beautiful Saturday mornings, $200 million championships and the ever-present hope of tomorrow, we move on to the three longest Texas Rangers home runs from the season that was -- all from the two usual suspects: True Distance, a.k.a. Actual Distance - If the home run flew uninterrupted all the way back to field level, the actual distance the ball traveled from home plate, in feet. If the...

More photos » by Chris Carlson - AP Browse more photos » Yesterday Bobby Abreu signed a two-year, 19 million dollar deal with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. If we were to draft for 2010 today, my guess is that Abreu would be taken around 50th overall which is right about where he was drafted in the 2009 preseason. In 2009, Abreu put up his seventh consecutive season ( eight of his last...

For what seems like months now, the concept of achieving better run prevention via the power of defense has been stuffed down your collective throats. Knowledgable fans are embracing it, sportswriters are begrudgingly recognizing it -- some more quickly than others, of course -- and front offices have taken steps to neutralize any market inefficiencies that might have left it undervalued. Baseball,...

1. Assuming that the Rangers have approximately $10 million to spend this winter after the signings of their arbitration-eligible players, how high would you be willing to go in order to sign free agent right-hander Ben Sheets? 2. Who will ultimately enjoy the best major league career (with "best" being measured by career wins above replacement): David Murphy, Nelson Cruz or Josh Hamilton?...

At least according to TotalZone. I ran these ratings from a different datasource than usual. Specifically, someone sent me files with data from MLBAM. Later in the offseason I'll compare it to the results from the source of all the other TotalZone ratings, the retrosheet files. Anyway, the top 15 runs saved for 2009: 1. Franklin Gutierrez, CF, +28 2. Nelson Cruz, RF, +23 3. Chone Figgins, 3B, +20 4....

1. Do you agree that the usage of instant replay in baseball needs to be expanded? For that matter, has the questionable post-season umpiring already pushed baseball beyond the tipping point? 2. Now that we know that mutual interest exists between the Rangers and free agent-eligible outfielder Marlon Byrd, what is the absolute largest contract offer -- in terms of both dollars and years -- that you...

So, are we still averse to the continued implementation of instant replay in baseball? I can certainly appreciate that the Twins put themselves in a position to be cheated on a bad call by not being able to lock down that two-run lead in the ninth inning, but with the technology already in place and the umpiring seemingly trending in the wrong direction, it's growing increasingly difficult to justify...

ARLINGTON, Texas – The Texas Rangers prepared to open a three-game series against Boston by reinstating second baseman Ian Kinsler from the disabled list. The Rangers also put slugging outfielder Nelson Cruz on the 15-day DL Friday with a sprained left ankle. The move was retroactive to Aug. 4. Kinsler went on the DL with a strained left hamstring Aug. 2, retroactive to July 29. He's coming off a two-day...
