I like the idea of going for upside this offseason with our pitching signings...I'm not really up for repeating the Hampton/Ortiz experience next season. Inspired, I've cobbled together quick profiles on...

More photos » by Nick Wass - AP Rich Hill is definitely my pick for sexy-under-the-radar reclamation project. He still has a few prime years in his tank and is a major head case, it seems. From we know of Arnsberg, that's right in his wheelhouse. Browse more photos » The title is somewhat facetious. The Astros are guaranteed to spend around $80 million, as is, heading into 2010, but there...

Rich Hill was a late bloomer for the Cubs. The lefty with the Bugs Bunny curveball always had big strikeout rates in the minors, but started to get a handle on his control in '05 at age 25. That year he whiffed 194 against 35 walks in 130.6 innings across three levels. Hill's Triple A dominance continued the following year, when he struck out 135 and walked 21 in 100 innings. He was promoted to the...

One of our favourite musical discoveries last year was the very brilliant future funk of Janelle Monae . Signed to Atlantic Records over here, we were promised that she'd be releasing music in early 2009. As is often the case in the music world that release date got pushed further and further back and 'early 2010' is now the plan. A protegee of Outkast, you can expect that same fun, futuristic soul...

Sad night tonight as a couple of bullpen meltdowns led to disaster for our minor league teams. Peoria Chiefs I'm going to lead with the Chiefs tonight because their season ended with a 9-8 loss to the Cedar Rapids Kernels. Things looked pretty good early as the Chiefs got out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning on four consecutive two out hits. First baseman Rebel Ridling singled, then right fielder...

10 years ago today. via images.pictopia.com.edgesuite.net View full size photo uploaded September 2, 2009 Here's something to make you feel a little better about last night's loss: Last December, CCers roundly panned the Yankees' ridiculous, overpriced signing of AJ Burnett , and by and large, nobody on this site wanted to sign him. We were right, by the way. Burnett is 10-8 on the year, and going...
