Will the Phillies Sign Mark DeRosa?

SportsProf (Free subscription) | 11/18/2009

MLB.com thinks so. That the Phillies want him and that he'd be interested in the Phillies are the easy part. What the article doesn't ask or answer is "in what role?" The Phillies have been looking for a supersub who can play many positions and not cause a dropoff in production. They would love not to have their regulars play 155 games a year and give them more meaningful rest. That would...

Who from the Yankee farm system has gone to another organization and become anything more than a mediocre player, other than Soriano who was already a star when we traded him? Nick Johnson ? Juan Rivera? These guys are average at best. The idea that...

It's given, I presume, to the rookie-eligible player who had the most valuable season in each league. It has good historical pedigree, as Jackie Robinson won the inaugural award in 1947 (when there...

genesiaiqv1u | 11/07/2009

PHILADELPHIA – Alex Rodriguez has one more reason to love the camera. His disputed drive into the right-field corner, originally ruled a double, was changed into a two-run homer when video technology was used to reverse a call for the first time in World Series history. "Well, it's only fitting, right?" Rodriguez said. He also homered in the first regular-season use of replay last year. This one struck...
