With the AL Gold Gloves announced on Tuesday, it's time to project the NL awards - especially since they will be announced today. I'll keep this simple. Based on UZR/150, here are the best defenders at their positions for 2009. All data is from Fangraphs.com. 1B - Derrek Lee , Cubs (4.7). AP was 5th with a 0.8. 2B - Chase Utley , Phillies (11.3). He was tied with Freddy Sanchez, but Sanchez only played...

View full size photo » There's no new news, which means it's time we go over some old news: the decision to sign Ryan Franklin to a multi-year extension stipulating that he was not allowed to record another out in 2009.

The general managers get together starting today in Chicago. While this is a preview of the big “winter meetings” that will be held next month in Indianapolis, there’s not expected to be much of a ripple made in the offseason pond from this gathering. Joe Strauss sets the scene not only for these meetings, but for the whole offseason in his article today . The Cardinals are going...

More photos » by Kathy Willens - AP Browse more photos » I think we can officially call the 2009 season of Atlanta Braves outfielder Matt Diaz a "breakout season." For all NL right-fielders with at least 100 plate appearances, Matt Diaz led the league in batting average and on-base percentage. He was behind six other players in slugging percentage in the NL, but he was behind...

What pressure? He allowed 2 earned runs over 6 2/3 innings, and went toe-to-toe with Cy Young candidate Adam Wainwright. He played a significant role in making it possible for that magical finale to happen....

This is the way the season ends. Not with a bang but a whimper. How fitting was it that Rick Ankiel was the last out–and a strikeout at that. Rick’s promise, just like that exhilarating promise of August, never quite came to fruition. All the signs of trouble were there, and excuses can be made, but in the end, like Ankiel’s at-bat, it turned into a lot of nothing. On the face of...

I didn't think I had much of a rooting interest in the Dodgers-Cardinals NLDS until I noticed a fan at Busch Stadium in a MOLINA 4 All-Star jersey. I still didn't think I would glean a lot of satisfaction from this Division Series until Yadier Molina attempted to cross from second to third on a one-out ground ball clearly in front of him and was tagged out with ease. "HA!" I said. "HA!"...

October. Baseball fans start counting down the days to this month sometime after Christmas. No matter how many post seasons you've experienced, it always feels like you're living it for the first time. October 7th at Dodger Stadium was no exception. The crowd was brewing with anticipation. LA fans have a reputation of arriving late and leaving early. Not tonight. Dodger Blue had come out early and...

Top 2nd: After trading zeros with Adam Wainwright in the first frame, Clayton Kershaw gives up a solo blast to Matt Holliday to make it 1-0 St. Louis . Kershaw gets Ryan Ludwick to bounce to third, but Casey Blake can't come up with the ball cleanly, and Ludwick reaches on an infield single. Yadier Molina gets lucky and a flyball pop finds a hole in the outfield and now there's men on first and second...

It's 2006 again for our subject in today's POTD . Jeff Weaver picked up the victory in relief against his former club as the Dodgers beat the Cardinals 5-3 in Game 1 last night. Congrats to anyone who stayed up for that nearly four month, er, hour long game! He relieved Randy Wolf with two out in the fourth inning and retired Ryan Ludwick on a ground out with the bases loaded. That came after Ludwick's...
