2014 Connie Mack Award
One of my favorite things about being a Baseball Bloggers Alliance member is voting for awards, including those for the best player, pitcher, and rookie in each league. We’re also asked to vote for the best manager. As I’ve said … Continue reading

Hot Stove Parenting
When I started this blog, one objective was to write as a fan of baseball, not as a fan of a baseball team. Aside from the more provincial work I’ve done for the Forecaster and copied here, I’d like to … Continue reading

Remaining Award Picks
I’ve heard tell that the Baseball Bloggers Alliance may come out of hibernation to vote on our annual awards. Having already covered my MVP (or “Stan Musial”) and Cy Young (“Walter Johnson”) picks, I thought I’d chime in with some … Continue reading

When the Red Sox left Philadelphia this afternoon, having taken two of three from the Phillies, both teams were right where they were prior to and throughout the series- in last place. The Phillies, though, stand at 21-21, and were … Continue reading

This is Part Five of my six-part 2012 baseball preview. I’ve looked at the NL West, AL West, NL Central, and the AL Central. Now we move on to the deepest division in either league, the NL East, from which … Continue reading
Mock Draft – Felix Falls to Round Three
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m participating in a mock draft with a bunch of fantasy bloggers. My second round pick came 26th overall. I was thrilled to see that Felix Hernandez, one of my top ten overall players, was still … Continue reading
